Why Hollywood Needs More Houseboys (and Fewer “Babygirls”)
Are you excited about Nicole Kidman’s new kinky movie, Babygirl? I’ll admit, watching one of Hollywood’s most powerful women dive into the world of D/s and my lifestyle on the big screen is tantalizing—a delicious glimpse of kink in the mainstream. But let’s talk about the glaring issue at the heart of this otherwise intriguing film: yet again, the dominant role belongs to a man.
Yes, Babygirl feels like a grown-up version of Fifty Shades of Grey—more polished, less cringeworthy—but it missed a golden opportunity. Where’s the unapologetic, commanding woman who loves to be on top? Hollywood still struggles to center stories around women thriving as dominants, and it’s high time that changed.
Why Women on Top Is the Story We Need
There are countless women who thrive as dominants, both in the bedroom and in their day-to-day lives. They’re creative, nurturing, and unapologetically powerful. My book, Goddess Gold: A Domme’s First Love, written under my pen name Marilyn Hammer, tells a story that flips the traditional narrative on its head.
Rose, the lead character, is a modern woman who takes the reins—in her career, her love life, and her home. She’s cunning, caring, and completely in charge. Her “houseboy” is everything you’d expect from a dream partner: tall, fit, intelligent, and utterly devoted to making Rose’s life shine. From ensuring her home sparkles to fulfilling her deepest desires, he’s the perfect foil for her commanding presence.
What makes Goddess Gold stand out isn’t just the spicy, page-turning romance—it’s the focus on consent, trust, and mutual respect. It’s proof that a story about women on top can be as emotionally rich as it is steamy.
Hollywood, Take Notes: The Domme Renaissance Is Here
As we cozy up for the holidays, Babygirl offers a chance to enjoy kink on the big screen, but it’s far from the definitive word on the subject. Movies like this pave the way, but the next step is clear: stories like Goddess Gold that center women in charge. It’s about time Hollywood embraced a dominatrix who isn’t relegated to a leather-clad stereotype but instead lives her power dynamically and unapologetically.
A New Fantasy: The Penthouse, Not the Dungeon
Amsterdomme has always been about bringing fetish fantasies out of the shadows and into a new light. Kink doesn’t have to live in the dungeon—it can thrive in the penthouse, the playroom, and everywhere else women dare to lead. My new writing series dives deeper into why the time is now for a new kind of dominatrix to take center stage.
So while we celebrate the boldness of Babygirl, let’s remember: there’s a whole new narrative waiting to be written. One where women command their worlds, where fantasies come with equal parts satisfaction and self-discovery, and where every “houseboy” knows his place.
Stay tuned, darlings—the revolution is just getting started.
Grab your copy of Goddess Gold today, and prepare to see kink through a whole new lens. Because in this story, women always come out on top.
Love,
Amsterdomme
