Relinquishing Control

Contributor: BitterSweet BitterSweet
My husband and I are perfect together in this aspect of our relationship! I am by far the dominant one on a day to day basis...and he is extremely submissive, yet when you get us in the bedroom the rolls automatically reverse! During our everyday lives I call all the shots, I run the house, the bank account, I tell him where his money goes...even the little things like how he folds the towels and puts them away, I control all of it...but in the bedroom...he ties me up and teases me and he takes complete control! I LOVE IT! And it works out great bc that is the one place where he loves to take control as well!!

The one issue we have had to work through though is, the female thing who he was with before me gave a new meaning to the word prude. ... more

I'm new to being submissive. I enjoy being submissive in bed and having him take control of my body. However, what I enjoy the most being mentally/physically submissive. I love sitting at my Dom's feet while he's reading or working. Not having to do anything but be his Pet. It quiets me and makes me feel safe and protected.

Once I lied on the ground and let his rest his feet on my back. I was a bit squirmy, trying to get comfortable enough to fall asleep when he placed his foot on the back of my neck. It was very deliberate. While it got me very excited, feeling, truly under his feet, I fell asleep that way.

Bad Bad Girl, that sounds AWESOME. I'd love to have that opportunity with my Sir. I'm his pet but we don't have that kind of time or environment.

Count me pleasantly jealous.

It's ridiculous. Seriously. LOL.
That's how my partner is with me as well! I love it, and I love beginning foreplay way before the actual act begins - the antipation is a huge turn on for me as well!

Also, as far as control goes - my partner and I have only recently brought bondage and control into our sex lives so we've been experimenting with who is in control. He definitely does it better than me - but I feel that it may be my bashfulness that makes me wary of taking control sometimes. Ha ha

I am a dominant woman in love with two very dominant guys. For Sigel and I the reason we are so dominant is fear. Both of us fear being out of total control...and have good reason to fear this. Of the three of us Arch is much more emotionally and sexually healthy and he loves to play both roles. He is a very dominant personality so he relishes the times he can relinquish control and just immerse himself in the experience. He is slowly teaching Sigel and I to enjoy the same and trust each other...and him.

For most people the assumption is that the submissive has no power and is the weaker of the two. This is not true at all, lots of times it is true weakness when the Dom/Domme CAN'T submit because of very real fear and trust issues. Still it's something that can, in a very real sense help abuse survivors regain or build for the first time their ability to trust and release their fears. To find a dominant personality that can lead you through those dark paths is a powerful and amazing thing.

I identify as a daddy's girl & service submissive. I like to think I give up control to a lot of things, the way I dress, how and when I cook etc. I let my boyfriend (Dominate) call as many shots as possible. It can be difficult sometimes as we are long distance and I’m a student (which is first priority). If I don't do what is asked of me there aren’t any repercussions but I feel guilty. A lot of my submission is mental and I feel its most rewarding. I am submissive in the bedroom also, he is my top; very rarely do I top him, and even then I’m just following orders

I’m into a lot of the same things you are, I enjoy the mind fuck, which is difficult to say because, no one wants to put themselves through any sort of distress but I would wear a chastity belt if asked lol. I also love covert bondage not just on myself but on other submissives. I like knowing there is something different about a person I’m with that no one else will notice.

It's good that you and your husband can switch roles and enjoy playing on both sides of the fence. I enjoy switching from time to time and find it satisfying. I'm glad that it works for both of you!

Mental bondage is fabulous. I agree with "there's just something about not being able to move because 'He says so.'" It's truly a relinquishing feeling to stay in place and know that that's where he wants you

I have never tried chastity before. Do you find that after you remove the chastity device that you feel more sensitive? Do you orgasm a lot sooner than without the chastity?

I've been curious to experiment with chastity, just haven't found the right partner or time to try it!

Well, when it comes to giving up your authority, I would suggest doing it on your terms. Lay out what you aren't comfortable with, what you want to try, and just what your limits are. If at any time you feel that things are escalating too much or that you aren't ready for it, you can opt out and make sure that your partner understands that it takes time to feel comfortable with relinquishing control. I'd do it very slowly and gradually. Maybe not the entire weekend to start out with, but maybe for an evening or a day. See how you like it and progress from there. That's the best advice that I can give to you.

Don't be bashful If he asks for it, let him have it. I'm glad that you and your partner are experimenting. It's always nice to add new things and dynamics to a relationship

I'm also a daddy's girl and a service submissive. I've been in the distance relationships before and have yet to find someone close to home to meshes well with my personality. Not saying that I am opposed to distance, just saying it would be nice to be closer to home. I've been through the challenges you face. It's tough, but rewarding. Kudos to you for maintaining a distance relationship!
