ORIGINAL: HarryVanWinkle You know, what you or I choose to call it is irrelevant. What matters is what she and he call it. If it works for them, what does anybody else's opinion matter. To be fair, it's all a hypothetical - I just made it up, but am wondering if such scenario could exist and be considered femdom. I also find it interesting how some people view "kink" (as in topping/bottoming) as it relates to a femdom relationship; apparently, "who" makes the decisions seems to be the determining factor on when something is femdom. That said, if you remove kink completely, there are a lot of femdom relationships going on, and both pepole have no idea it would be labeled that way. They just do it. And I personally don't think, well at least I am not SURE, that my "femdom kinky side" is at all connected to my "women-led relationship" dynamic. I could more readily, I think, give up being the breadwinner and decision maker (so long as my husband were logical and fair) but I could NOT give up dominance as an act of sensuality or sexuality. That's what I'm getting at. So if the dynamic at home changed but I still got to do my BDSM kink whenever I wanted with a fully submitting partner who catered to my sexual and sensual needs, I would be content - but if he were making all the decisions for the most part, that makes me a submissive top? Interesting! I think my kinky side, my need to make men suffer in nasty and degrading ways (for mutual pleasure) is just a coincidence, not necessarily related to my social relationships with men. Can femdoms explain/describe the types of relationships their sibs went into? I think my assertive, ambitious, decision-making personality is a function of my upbringing and I share that same drive with 3 siblings who all are just as ambitious as I am. However, it's clear that my oldest brother is in a (non kinky) female-led relationship (she wears the pants in the family though he is the breadwinner, and they are not kinky), my older sister is a home maker (though college educated with great earning potential, yet her urges are entirely domestic) and I'd say their relationship is very balanced and it would be hard to say who REALLY had control, and my other brother is equally ambitious yet is a stay at home husband to a very powerful, successful and driven woman. So it's a mixed bag, really, all from the SAME upbringing, which could be best described as the Leave it to Beaver (although not so conservative) family unit with a mom who stayed home, a father at the same job for 40 years and a sit down dinner each night, with all children going to college and entering into functional relationships that are longterm. So my point is -- does the relationship DYNAMIC truly define femdom, or is it the dominant urges? And femdoms: Did your sibs adopt the same dynamic in their relationships that you did? Akasha
