My outer personality would most likely be described as dominant. People in my life have told me that they experience me in a way that tells them I am always in control, that I like to control. I’m a dominant personality.
Inside, however, I have always felt submissive. I have always fought that submissiveness, taking it as a sign of weakness and having to overcome it. So perhaps I have overcompensated and become dominant? And have ignored another part of me that is now beginning to ask for attention?
Which brings me to my innermost fantasy. To experience a relationship where I am submissive. I have had fantasies about this all my life, in the sexual sense – leaving out the pain aspect - of being taken, of being told what to do, of being tied, and yes, of being owned so to speak. And in the non-sexual sense, (of being given instructions; what to wear; how to speak).
This fantasy does not jive with another part of me that seeks a different kind of connection with a man – a more spiritual/mind connection. It’s never been a problem however – until now. Problem is too strong of a word, challenge may be better.
Whenever I have met a man who is very dominating in personality, aggressive or assertive, I have taken myself out of the situation (regardless of the strong and overwhelming attraction I felt towards him) – whatever it may be – personal, business, friendship etc. Basically I have avoided aggressive and controlling men and have been in relationships with men who are more less mild in manner. (I’m not speaking of this in an abusive sort of situation, I don’t believe that an abusive situation represents what a true Dom/sub relationship looks like).
The last little while however, these Dom/sub fantasies have grown louder. It’s almost as they will not allow me to ignore them any longer. To make matters worse, I have met a man who is extremely dominant. I was instantly attracted to the point of being sexually aroused. My first instinct was to find a way to end the acquaintance – simply telling him that I am not interested. However, after thinking about it for a few days I am contemplating giving this other side of myself a chance to explore. To see where it takes me.
I have begun asking many questions about what a Dom/sub relationship would look like or what the rules are. I have been told that the people in the relationship define the rules. I like that. I have been told that it can be a very strong connection between two people. I like that. I have been told that respectfullness does exist within the relationship. I like that too. I have been told that giving up control takes strength. I like that as well. The more I think and talk about it, the more I am aroused by it. Aroused to the point where it is becoming frustrating if I don’t find release. Sort of like “blue balls” is for a man? Or maybe not.
I have a strong desire to explore this part of my personality. I also have a strong fear about it. The desire, is stronger than the fear. In my “pseudo-research” I have found that such a relationship can be:
- extremely arousing
- addicting
- hypnotic
- exciting
- dangerous
Hmmm, sounds similar to love and infatuation to me!
As much as I know that inwardly I tend to be submissive, this desire, this need that I have to explore this is growing stronger every day. Have I lost my mind? Where are these feelings coming from? The further I explore these questions – the more I want to explore the submissive side of myself.
As much as I believe that fantasies are usually more arousing than actually bringing them to reality, this is one fantasy that I have had a small taste of in reality and it may just be that much more arousing for real, than it is in my head.
Or maybe not.
To me there are two basic types of sex.
The schoolgirl. This is most likely not a big surprise for most, I think that this is a fairly common fantasy among men. While I don’t have any interest in young girls, the fantasy is based on the fact that when I was in high school I couldn’t get the girl that dressed to thrill, she was dating the jocks. In this scenario, she can tease me…but this time I am going to “have” her as well. Short skirt, white ankle socks, running shoes.
You’ve been horny all day and just can’t ignore it anymore. You post an ad at 10:00 p.m. on Plentyoffish saying simply “Fuck Me.” Immediately, you receive an email with nude pics from a hot babe who could be Pamela Anderson Lee’s long lost twin. The email says she is wet and ready for you right now, and includes a map with directions to her place. You grab a handful of condoms and go.
Sexual tension. The greater the sexual tension the greater the overall experience. I am a highly visually enticed individual. From all I can gather through personal research as to what makes me “tick”, I am “into” various fetishes. I should mention here that what really turns me on in “thought” in most cases has not been experienced on a practical level. These are “fantastic” situations. The sexual tension derived from these fantasies would typically lead to masturbation for physical release as opposed to actively being involved in the situation.
