I definitely detest "females" - it's a red flag of a word, and it always intimates that the user is a dick. The consistency with which this choice of "females" and dickness is demonstrated is an unarguable constant in my admittedly anecdotal experience, so do what you want - but realize that I'm not the only person who believes there to be a connection.
It's as if someone can't bring himself to say "woman" - a word I have no crisis-level feminist problem with, and he's trying too hard to ingratiate himself in some fashion or push me down a peg with tigresses and she-bears. There's a reason the distinction between "a man" and "a male" is hammered away at in so many Femdom stories that revel in dehumanization.
As for what kind of femdom gets me hot - honestly I don't like my one-handed reading to be too literary, but I don't like it stupid either. And while I'm a Femdom, I read outside "my" genre. I primarily like Gay stuff, and so do a lot of us. I'm more turned on by Aristotle Benson than Wanda.
Even though I like the ladies, think about it - in Gay leather it's ALL desirable man meat ALL the time, no pause to gawk at some gratuitous DD's - it's a natural fit for fed up women with hetero meanderings on any major level.
Does it feature my kinks or some kink that I happen to feel like reading that day with an interesting quality to them? Check.
Do we get to worry about the interior lives of interesting characters? Cool, but I'm not inclined to touch myself anymore and unless you're a friend I'd rather be reading some Doris Lessing, sorry. The silliness of Mr. Benson makes it work better for me, for example. It's a very silly very seventies book, with its tongue in its cheek at least some of the time.
Humiliation and man crushing and red lipstick and shit - bring it. I like it. As long as it's exciting for the heroine and her motives are important and she's not just some localized pair of tits du jour. Keep it happy-for-now or happy, as they say, I am here to escape. At least happy for everyone identified as female, the male protagonists can suck it and that's fine.
Does it contain some heavy and surprising mind fuckery like a Trilby Else? (Some probably man written F/f mind control content that's actually good!) Does it bring a desirable otherwise-alpha down to a bite size level like Akasha was usually good at? If you do something supernatural is it at least freaky-deaky enough that I can't quite stop reading?
Porn that goes on for many chapters is usually the kiss of death for me - a story can start out brilliantly and hot, with some genuinely sexy feminization for example and then by chapter three the Domme is flipped and it's some spelling challenged orgy whatever. I have never finished anything more than 3 chapters by a non-pro without regretting it.
