A consensual roleplay scenario in which one partner takes on the authority of a boss, manager, or supervisor while the other plays a subordinate employee. The power imbalance is scripted and agreed upon in advance, often set in an office or workplace context.
People are drawn to this dynamic because it puts a familiar, real-world power structure into a private, erotic frame. The formality of the setting, titles, performance reviews, or disciplinary meetings can heighten tension and give the scene a clear shape. Many couples use it to explore control and surrender without any actual workplace involvement.
Worth knowing: Agree on limits, safewords, and a clear signal to pause or stop before the scene begins, and keep the roleplay separate from any actual employment relationship or professional obligation.
Also called: office roleplay, corporate roleplay, supervisor/subordinate, executive assistant fantasy, performance review scene, disciplinary roleplay, workplace power exchange
