Academic analysis of BDSM romances has identified several recurring motifs. Most books are set in rather high-class BDSM clubs in the United States, telling the stories of Doms (or Dommes) and their submissive partners. Even when plot lines are situated in everyday life, characters are depicted as part of the local scene. Another common motif is the first encounter with a club or BDSM in general, especially when a character realizes they are submissive — a trait that may conflict with their public persona (such as strong alpha men who are sexually submissive). A special kind of group frequently depicted consists of women who meet regularly and support each other as chosen sisters.
