Femboydom (short for femboy domination) is usually a kink role where a femboy takes the dominant role in a sexual or power-exchange dynamic. A femboy is usually someone who identifies as male but enjoys a feminine or androgynous style or presentation. In Femboydom, that person is the one in charge of the interaction, while the other person takes the submissive role.
The appeal often comes from the contrast between a feminine appearance and a dominant personality or attitude. Like other BDSM roles, what it involves can vary a lot depending on the people involved, but the main idea is that the femboy is the one leading or controlling the scene.
Origins of the Term
The term Femboydom appears to have developed in online kink and LGBTQ+ communities by combining two existing slang terms: femboy and Dom (short for Dominant). The word femboy has been used since at least the 1990s in internet and queer subcultures to describe someone who identifies as male but presents in a feminine or androgynous way. According to Google Search data, the term did not start gaining traction in search until 2022.
