Origin
The origin of the term is unclear, it first appeared on Urban Dictionary as lezdom in 2007 and during the next year, another entry, titled lesdom was added to the site.
The term probably originates from the end of the 20th century and the begging of the new millennium.
With the porn industry booming, and demands at an all-time high, lesbian on lesbian dominations came onto the screens.
The successes of the LGBT community also aided the birth of the term, by creating a world, where same sex sexuality is not frowned upon as much and people may delve deep into this aspect of nature.
Spread and Usage
Today we may encounter lezdom in various situations on the internet, but the highest chance for that is probably on porn sites’ lesbian category.
The term also appears in the 2012 book of Lauren Rosewarne; Periods in Pop Culture: Menstruation in Film and Television.
