* There is at least one [[Live Journal]] community devoted to [[Harry Potter (Literature)|Snape]] [http://community.livejournal.com/severusbound/profile bondage fic].

* This is not an uncommon characterization for ''[[Team Fortress 2 (Video Game)|Team Fortress 2]]'''s Engineer in [[Fanfic]].

** Not to mention [[Four Eyes Zero Soul|the]] [[Mad Doctor|Medic]].

* Almost any ''[[Harry Potter (Literature)|Harry Potter]]'' fanfic where Hermione suddenly "develops" over the summer. [[Sarcasm Mode|Evidently, acquiring boobs also makes her a sex maniac with a love of bondage]].

* There's an awful lot of ''[[Heroes (TV)|Heroes]]'' fic in which [[Hot Scientist|Mohinder]] is involved in BDSM, mostly as a sub.

* ''[[~~Gravitys~~ Rainbow]]'' includes a character expounding on the virtues of "sado-anarchism."

* ''[[Gravity's Rainbow]]'' includes a character expounding on the virtues of "sado-anarchism."

* ''The End of Mr. Y'' has a measure of it. The heroine is every bit the brainy academic stereotype... and she likes to be bound during sex. Kinky.

* ''[[Kushiels Legacy]]'' is made of this trope. Terre D'Ange is by and large highly accepting of any sexual kinks, and while there's less talk among the general public about the S&M practices, they're also considered sacred. This view is magnified exponentially by the main character, who experiences pain as pleasure (the mark of her patron god). She is a high class prostitute, and engages in a wide range of masochistic sexual encounters. Many of these are portrayed as loving, cleansing, or just downright fun. The negative BDSM scenes are a result of true malice on the part of her client, and are portrayed as perversions of the kink, rather than the entirety of it. Moreover, Phedre is extremely intelligent, and the books often wax philosophical on the nature of pain, pleasure, and sexuality.

Line 62:

** A lot of Klingons enjoy the rough stuff. On the same morning after Worf and Dax's first night together, Quark and Grillka also showed up in the infirmary with similar injuries. Data even once mentioned that in Klingon culture a broken clavicle during sex is considered a blessing on the future marriage.

*** But that's OK really because Klingons have a spare set of clavicles ([[Fridge Logic|don't ask how that works]]) along with redundant spares for almost everything, up to and including higher brain function - it's when they get involved with another species that problems occur.

* In the ''[[~~Dollhouse (TV)|~~Dollhouse]]'' episode "A Spy in the House of Love", Echo is first shown imprinted with a dominatrix personality, and waxes philosophical to Boyd that it's about trust rather than pain.

* In ''[[Sherlock (TV)|Sherlock]]'', a modern day version of the [[Sherlock Holmes]] canon, [[Femme Fatale|Irene Adler]] is a dominatrix who caters to the rich and powerful, using her "access" to gain sensitive material for blackmail and leverage. She's also, in [[Spank the Cutie|every]] [[Worthy Opponent|sense]] [[Batman Gambit|of the word]], the only one to ever [[Out Gambitted|beat]] Sherlock Holmes, and much more thoroughly than in the original story. {{spoiler|For a while, at least.}}

* [[The Faceless]] necromancer from ''[[Anti-HEROES (Webcomic)|Anti-HEROES]]''.

* In ''[[Fansadox]]'', ''Women Hunt'', Mad Satan is the only one capable of running a supercomputer, as he was the one who built it. He also enjoys (and now has the chance to do this extensively) raping and torturing women.

* Clarice of ''[[Girls With Slingshots]]'' works in a porn store, is a [http://www.girlswithslingshots.com/comic/gws157/ dominatrix on the weekends] and has a [http://www.girlswithslingshots.com/comic/gws-1159/ Master's in Library and Information Science].

* Equius in ''[[Homestuck (Webcomic)|Homestuck]]'' is a play on this, as he has a submission fetish and a love of breathplay, as well as a ridiculously flowery vocabulary and an interest in building robots. However, his inability to adjust his stupid prejudices in the face of plenty of evidence shows that despite his book intelligence, he isn't very good at learning from his experiences. It's his prejudice which leads to his eventual downfall.

* {{spoiler|Shizune Hakamichi}} of [[Katawa Shoujo]] uses bondage on Hisao in her first sex scene. Her disability comes into play, as {{spoiler|[[Shut Up Kiss|if Hisao's hands are tied, he can't sign]].}}
