Female-Led Relationships

I feel this is the best male audience to pose a question to.

Would a female led relationship appeal to you and, if so, what would it look like? I realize there are many variances to this particular theme and the 2 people involved can make it whatever they choose, but are there key components that would draw you to this particular dynamic?

My question extends beyond the sexual component, of course. Being a strong woman with a slightly "sub" man is nothing new of course...but I am not speaking of a D/s type interaction. Ordering someone around and expecting your bidding to be done without question isn't my thing. I prefer a much more cerebral, gentle dynamic where my strength isn't used to wield punishment, moreso guidance and nurturing.

Any of you out there currently enjoying such a dynamic? Hoping to or actively searching for such a thing? Would love to discuss the ins and outs and get a real life feel of how this manifests in your day-to-day lives.

As always, PM's are not only welcome, but encouraged :rose:

This is complicated, because as mentioned there are several types of Female Led relationships, and not all of them are what you might first think of. There are several relationships that devolve into a FLR when the female partner becomes domineering, condescending, vindictive and manipulative in a bad way- and the male partner did not sign up for that. There is no joy in such an arrangement, and sadly, I have known a few friends/acquaintences whose relationships ended up like this. It was not a happy or fulfilling relationship for either of them.

But then, there are loving relationships based on mutual respect where the husband/boyfriend submits to the female partner willingly because he trusts her judgement, strength, and life experience, and admires her for her dominant traits. There is far less vindictiveness or petty manipulation in these type of relationships. Sometimes, but not necessarily, there may even be some type of kink play involving the usual female domination fantasies you read about in this forum. Sadly, this type of female led relationship seems to be quite rare, or at least, far less common than the first type. And even still, the loving, respecting, caring Female Led Relationship is still far more likely to be "vanilla" in the bedroom (as in, no kink or femdom fetish type play) than not. Which is fine; I suspect this may be what you are talking about.

I obviously would prefer this type of FLR, but lets just say...I wouldn't mind a little kink now and again. Although, it would have to be the right chemistry between both of us- because I would not want to be in a joyless relationship like the first type I described.

Probably get flamed, but I'm going to be honest. No, it would have no interest to me.

Equal, i can do. Male led, i can do. But Female led would not sit well with me.

To each their own. Thanks for stopping by.

Thank you Pax :rose:
 
I’ve a.aways found a fem led relationship appealing.

To each their own. Thanks for stopping by.

As a teenager I was facinated by older women. I still am. ;)
I lost my virginity to one at 17. It was one of the most joyous episodes of my life.
I delivered groceries to her after school. She flirted with me aroused me both physically and emotionally, then inevitably seduced me. Our relationship flourished with her driving it in a number of directions and I went willingly with the flow.
Since then I’ve adored the complexity of women.

Our marriage is led by my wife. I can't really say it was a decision that was made it just sort of evolved.
We each have or strengths and weaknesses that is for sure. I guess it is more her strengths greatly outshine mine.
Also I am much easier going than she so I think that has much to do with our dynamic.

Thanks for sharing Twalter...balance is important for a successful relationship.
 
I feel like there’s a lot of different ways an flr can go, and in the end very few look like the porn we see about it.

Yes balance is important. I do think that it is more important that each partner understands his or her strengths. We have had our share of disagreements over the years. Not so much the past few I think that is because I have come to the understanding that my wife's life skills while in many ways are stronger it is actually a strength of mine that I can accept that fact.
Fair is not always equal I think best describes it.

Perfectly stated!
 
So true..

The guys always think it’s about sex. However sex is a very small portion of it.
 
very much would love to be in a female led relationship! it would take open communication especially at first to find the directions both would like it to go, but myself, i would like her to lead socially, sexually, and personally.
i too am not really into the idea of a typical image of the dominant holding the whip , but def a confident woman sure of herself is awesome!

Thanks, Shauwn :rose:
 
Never a whip..

You never need a whip. I have found, that ignoring is a very powerful tool. My husband wants and needs my attention. So when I take it away it’s very difficult for him. Another one I use is corner time. However the most fun (for me anyway) is the 20 minutes in a cold shower.. everything shrivels up really nice in there..

positive reinforced can be much more pleasurable..

20 minutes in a cold shower - I thought it was my thing only, glad to know you use it to reinforce
 
It’s probably the most effective tool.

The look on his face is always priceless. The end result is always perfect manners. I see why it’s a common interrogation method.

So many images portray the strong woman as one dressed in leather holding a whip or other tool...i was just using that as an example and agree with you!
For myself, I much prefer that a woman wears what is comfortable to her, be it leather or sweatpants! It is her confidence that is really hot :)

This 💜
 
Very classy!

Shauwn that was a wonderful thing to say. Very classy! I hope the right woman sees it.

Agreed. A confident woman is a very sexy one. Admire a woman proud to be herself.
