- 2003, Lora Shaner, Madam: Inside a Nevada Brothel, page 296:
- Shadowy masked dominatrixes in stiletto-heeled hip boots snap commands and whips with equal fury.
- 2006, Russell Campbell, Marked Women: Prostitutes and Prostitution in the Cinema, page 226:
- But even as movies depicting successful madams, freelance hookers, and dominatrices were celebrating prostitution as a marketplace expression of the new sexual freedom, doubts were emerging, a backlash growing.
- 2010, H. A. Carson, A Roaring Girl: An Interview with the Thinking Man's Hooker, page 134:
- I've always maintained that the dominatrix is as much a misogynistic caricature as the virginal, asexual "good" girl or the disgusting "nymphomaniac/slut." The so-called dominant woman is a dark, eerie version of the woman on a pedestal.

Verb
[edit]dominatrix (third-person singular simple present dominatrixes, present participle dominatrixing, simple past and past participle dominatrixed)
- (informal, intransitive) To act as a dominatrix, especially professionally.
- 2009 March 25, “Foxy (not a reference to the dumper bound DJ Dr Fox – in case you were wondering)”, in Bitchy Jones's Diary[2]:
- Not one single nod is given to the fact is might be something a woman would ever do for the sheer blissy hot of it. Nah, nah, nah, nah, NAH! In fact, in this context, that would probably be beyond horridious. And isn’t that kind of weird. Dominatrixing for money is far more okay (and even kind of family friendly) than dominatrixing for sexual kicks. And you’ve got to wonder why that might be.
