It sounds way less offensive to those who decry the original terminology's problematic roots but still keeps its meaning intact.

Remember when we thought being overly politically correct to absurd levels was a bad thing? That said, Dom/Sub, I'd be down for that. Same meaning, different wording, and now it's also a sex reference.

Also, pretty sure most companies would not be OK with the sex reference, which is just a bonus!
