I actually do a version of my wolf-wyvern where he plays as a security commander. On the station he patrols, he likes to assert his authority over some of his co-workers. :3c

Ooh, fun!

This is kind of a funny thing for me - the whole authority thing isn't something I'm really into when it comes to real life, but when it comes to drawn stuff and animation I actually really like it. And sometimes porn.

Teacher kink? not a thing for me in real life. In drawings and porn though, yes please.
Police kink? Not my cup of coffee. Or tea.
For some reason a detective kink, like cliche detective with just a white shirt and gun holsters instead of a uniform (think the protagonist from The Evil Within) is something I really like. Though I'm not sure if that is because of the authority figure thing.

The "serving a Queen" is something I really like as well.

Another thing I'm not sure falls into this is the whole "Daddy" and "Mommy" kink thing - they do count as some sort of authority I think, but they're not usually mentioned with the authority kink. I think. Not sure.
Either way, I really dig that as well when it comes to porn and drawings. And maybe real life, but I wouldn't know.

Definitely all makes sense-- a lot of times, porn is something that's tied to fantasy, not to anything we want in reality!

Exactly! That, and all the attractive teachers I know have really been more of a friend figure I'd never sleep with than anything. Which is kind of weird to say for me I guess, since I wouldn't mind sleeping with most of my actual friends.

This is another question where I think you already know many of the authority figure and subordinate pairings that get my motor running as far as role playing fantasies go. Warden / prisoner is a particular favorite. :)

Classic for a reason

Sometimes I do find the idea of taking or being taken by an authority figure sexy once in awhile.

Usually a librarian, teacher coach or boss. Its purely fiction for me though, as I've never met any people in those professions who struck me as sexy in real life.

Oh of course, this is purely a fantasy for most people! Makes lovely roleplay fodder, though.

Most certainly, great story ideas too.
