Men, tell us something you admire about what women are capable of physically. Or something that is in line with this topic.

Over a decade in Pilates and I’ve had many conversations with my instructor over whether a particular thing is a thing just I’m having trouble doing or my body just isn’t designed to do. We don’t always agree . Z sitting and mermaid is something I know some men can do but I’m pretty sure I’ll never be able to do it comfortably or easily and I’m a little jealous.

The Female Body View attachment 2511414
I wanted to do a post for a moment that just celebrates the female body and the absolute strength we have whilst wielding the ability to look graceful, lithe, sensual, and effortless. View attachment 2511411
The images I've chosen, of course, are dancers. But, they are all different types of dancers, and their poses show the curvature of the female form in such ways that we, as females, like to envision our inner strength as. View attachment 2511412
These images also all show some level of discomfort in the pose. You look and think, "ow, learning how to do that, hold that pose, must hurt like hell!" Well, the female body is built in such a way that we learn how to not only endure the pains and discomforts life gives us, but also learn to push through them and make that pain a part of us in a new and better way. View attachment 2511413
So, if you're a woman, celebrate you for a moment while you read this. You are so beautiful, and your strength is a huge part of that beauty. You've made it here, to now, and you should be proud. You've put your body through a lot, life has put your body through a lot, and others have put your body through a lot. So, do something today that is a "thank you" to your body! Get a massage, take a bubble bath, sleep in an hour, do a face mask, etc. Tell us what you did to treat your body to something nice, and name (at least) one thing you love about your body!!!

Men, tell us something you admire about what women are capable of physically. Or something that is in line with this topic.

Let's celebrate the female form together! Let's admire The very things us women tend to bash about ourselves daily.

(Yes, I know men are wonderful and have body image issues too, but this post is about women. You gentlemen will get yours another time)

i have always admired and been drawn to beautiful and strong women...strength of mind, strength of body...women can quite literally do everything a man can do, only they look much better doing it. i always loved sports and nothing captures the potential of the human body like crossfit and the crossfit games. its not for everyone. many will say it takes things to extremes, but thats the point. the crossfit games are the ultimate test of fitness potential. weights, running, swimming, gymnastics...all tested and often h2h with men, while not against them, and women come out on top...this appreciation expounds beyond the extremes of crossfit to sports like swimming, dance, gymnastics, etc...the female body in all its forms is a beautiful thing. we need to stop comparing and open our eyes to the beauty and strength that is before us every day. love your body ladies.

If you only knew the conversation I've had today...
I will name multiple things.

1. The resiliency of the female body. The inherent flexibility, elasticity, and recovery is remarkable. Why is there a trope about the "man cold" but one about women? They just seem to push through more.

2. The strength of a woman to bear children. A comedian once said in a clever and graphic manner, that childbirth is pushing a watermelon through a Pringles can. I heard that over 20 years ago and I will never forget it. It really isn't much of an exaggeration, either! It's not that a woman has birthed a kid, it's that her body could. That is incredible. And the toll it takes should be several and extreme, right? No. Not really. There are obviously some permanent changes to her body after giving birth, but it doesn't shorten her life. It doesn't ruin bones or organs. With a few exceptions, the woman returns to herself.

3. Womanly flexibility. Most men appreciate a flexible woman, and most women are naturally more flexible than men. It allows them to make more "art" with their bodies. Watching a woman move is poetry in motion. When a man moves? It's a lumbering ogre. Even in things such as figure skating, the woman bends, is hoisted, spins, and performs a dance and gymnastics routine while slipping along a razor's edge across the ice. Men do some of these things, but not nearly as much and are often just costumes furniture for the woman to perform on and around. Men, have you ever tried to be in the sexual position you find your partner in? I couldn't but my legs where they do. I can't bend the way a woman does, can you?

As much as I love restraints... I don't like the idea of being physically locked up, especially and then left alone. That would freak me out, I think.

This is just freakin' hot...

I love both of these. So soft and sensual, more of letting her know but not making it like she doesn't have a choice (because she obviously does).

Oh I agree with that. Being left alone is a hard limit for me. But, I love the artistic posing of this one and I like to imagine (even though I know what this is from) that he is in there, with her, explaining why her hands are locked up like that. But she is also tucked in, giving her a sense of comfort and safety whilst he explains, before he gives in and climbs in next to her.

This is just freakin' hot...

Yea yea it is

I love both of these. So soft and sensual, more of letting her know but not making it like she doesn't have a choice (because she obviously does).

I agree!!! The submission is so clearly given here, despite the tools being less restrictive. I feel like it mirrors the quote well.

Ah, yes, I don't think I can actually koala, although it's all I wanna do sometimes.

But she is also tucked in, giving her a sense of comfort and safety whilst he explains, before he gives in and climbs in next to her.

For me, without knowing any background, the feeling is simply posing for a photo. Creating a more concrete visual sign or memory of the dynamic. Saving an image of the submission and artistic side.

Perhaps because I know many people who do it in real life. We've even done it ourselves. There are few photos where I am alone, bound - because he was behind the camera.

 

[Chloe_Harper]

The following images were chosen because the focus seems more... adaptable to our switch friends or ladies who are Dommes or guys who are subs. I still see myself as a sub in all of them, but they felt more open to interpretation for more people. The focus feels just different enough.

Slowly strip me down.
Sitting atop him, anticipating what comes next with our gazes locked.
Trailing slow kisses up my legs as he lays me down.

Again, I still see myself as a the sub I am in all of these, just a different mood between my Daddy and me. I would love to hear people's takes on any or all of these images. How you would see yourself in them and your role.

There are two words that come to mind for all three of these for me, and those are tease and intimacy. Any particular words come to mind for y'all?

To me, these are far less dynamic and much more intimate, which you used as a word that came to mind for you. Not that dynamics can't be intimate, just these seem more subdued.

There is a lot of intentionality here and patience. None of these images lend themselves to one paradigm or another; I think the viewer can interpret them however they'd like.

So my take is, they look like images of partners who are enjoying each other and taking their time doing so.

My words are intention and patience.

 

[base10]

Damn, keep missing this wonder

 

[Chloe_Harper]

When you push back a little, and he reminds you who is in control, you can't help but submit.
His fingers shove between your lips as he whispers his intentions to you.
His hands grip your throat, squeezing just enough to ensure he has your undivided attention as his lips engulf yours.
Then, if you're a good girl, he feeds you his fingers again as he prepares you for your reward.

A few of my favorite things... pt 1.

The idea of being pinned against the wall during a heated kiss alone is enough to make me needy. But, add some other things, a leg lift, a hand on the neck, a full lift, pinning hands above the head, any of those, or a combination of, just push this to one of my favorite things.

Mark Me...

I want my skin marked in ways that only he can. Leaving the kinds of bruises that are deliciously tender for days.

I want him to take my skin between his teeth, sinking them in and pulling back. I want those bites to put me on the edge of where pain becomes pleasure.

I want his physical grip on me to be so firm that I feel it for days. I want to see the evidence on my skin just as long. I want to wear these marks with pride.

My neck, my thighs, my breasts, my stomach, my ass, my arms... my skin is his canvas to paint with his marks. A sign that I am his.

And him, taking the time to make sure I am covered in his marks, spending the following days to both admire and care for them, would prove that he is mine.

I want to talk about something that people might find controversial on this site, and that is...
Fifty Shades of Grey

Why Chloe? Where are you going with this? Don't you know it's not a healthy representation of the D/s community? Don't you know some of us are going to skip this or potentially future posts now?

Stick with me folks. I bring this up because it's come up in a few conversations since my time on Lit, and I have feelings that I've kept from fully expressing... until now.

(Head's up, there will be minor spoilers if that means anything to anyone who hasn't read/seen these.)

I'm not here to debate the inaccuracies of a D/s dynamic, or the fact that there were unhealthy aspects to the relationship. So, why do I like the Fifty Shades books and choose to defend them to a certain degree?

I didn't really know there were these types of dynamics or relationships until I read that first book. I didn't know sex was more than just sex. I didn't get why people crave it. I didn't get orgasms. I simply thought something was wrong with me. Then I read that first book. I wasn't a 22 year old virgin like Anastasia, but I felt like one at times.

There were aspects of what a sexual relationship could be within a romantic or non-romantic one. This book opened my eyes to world I didn't really realize existed.

I began to tentatively do research, to see if people really did this. I found online chat rooms and forums, similar to Lit, that helped me learn a little more. I devoured the other two books when they were published. I cried when Christian fell to his knees in submission to Anastasia, realizing what that truly meant for him. I cringed when Jack assaulted Anastasia in his office, claiming he could be more of man for her than Christian could be. It broke my heart when Christian believed Ana was only with him for the money when she needed to quickly withdraw a large amount.

Why? Why did those things affect me so? The writing isn't perfect. No. It's because as I read and as I researched and realized my own journey into this world, I began to empathize.

There were so many mistakes made along the way in their relationship. Possessiveness, poor communication, refusal to acknowledge past pain points, misusing the red room... the list goes on. But, there was also growth. And that's being human.

I can go back and look at shitty relationships I was in, and I can point the finger at the other person. I know, though, there are a lot of ways I'm (thankfully) not the same person I was during those relationships. This includes when I started entering relationships that had a D/s dynamic. I learned the importance of safewords, the importance of limits, and the importance of having those conversations fairly early in the relationship.

So, for all of its faults, for everything it's lacking or got wrong, what did Fifty Shades do right? It shone a light on section of sexual relationships that have made it possible for girls like me to realize how to find what was missing in their lives. It also paved the way for a lot of popular romantasy novels to take the steps they want in their writings while still being known works.

I could go on about a lot of things, but the importance of what I wanted to share I've said. I'm grateful that this piece of fanfiction became the popular craze that it was because, without it, I might not even be on Lit. I might not have ever found that piece of me that was missing. And my sex life might be boring as fuck.

I didn't know there books, just the movie. And I didn't watch it for a long time, because I didn't think I'd be able to hide how much I wanted to be her. A few months ago, I bought the DVD, and I didn't make it into the movie to any steamy scenes before being too irritated at the guy.

Considering it is sitting right over there, on the shelf, I assume at some point I will give it another chance. Meanwhile, I can't comment on it being good, bad, right or wrong ... because I kind of disliked the guy right from the start. Why? I don't know. I just didn't like him.

I'll start off by saying, I have never thought of this story series like this, and it's definitely an interesting and quite valid perspective. Thank you for sharing! I was lucky in that I found Lit, or was introduced to it ( I can't remember now) right after it went live, so my proverbial eyes were opened here. But I can see how this mainstream story could be your conduit.

I read the books, and I hated them. Not because of the story, or all of the issues with their relationship, but because they were so poorly written. I wanted to know what all the hype was, soni read them while deployed. I still haven't seen the movies; maybe one day.

I never got to the point of like Christian. Not that I'm perfect, but he really grated on me.

And to Rafe's point, they are INCREDIBLY fast reads - Tolkien didn't write these, that's for sure. They can be knocked out quickly if anyone hasn't read them or hasn't seen the movies.

That's why I shared it. I'm sure there are other forms of mainstream media that came before Fifty Shades that would have opened other people's eyes to the world.

I read the books, and I hated them. Not because of the story, or all of the issues with their relationship, but because they were so poorly written. I wanted to know what all the hype was, soni read them while deployed. I still haven't seen the movies; maybe one day.

They weren't the most well-written books. They were fan-fiction. They weren't meant to be the hit they were, but people wanted the accessibility to this BDSM world that the books offered.

I never got to the point of like Christian. Not that I'm perfect, but he really grated on me.

And to Rafe's point, they are INCREDIBLY fast reads - Tolkien didn't write these, that's for sure. They can be knocked out quickly if anyone hasn't read them or hasn't seen the movies.

Yes. Easy fast reads. And the books are very much better than the movies.

No. Not the point at all. In fact, it's when he tries to throw money for the sake of the throwing money at things that Ana is least impressed by him.

 

[base10]

No. Not the point at all. In fact, it's when he tries to throw money for the sake of the throwing money at things that Ana is least impressed by him.

That's fair. It also seems to me a lot of his behavior would be abuse if he wasn't loaded.

And I am not someone who sees BDSM as abuse at all, I'm a big fan of it.

Thanks for your view on it
