Noble Forumeers, This is quite hard for me to articulate, so please bear with me . . . . I watched some godawful film recently about an annoying, bland American teenaged girl with big nostrils who was the love-object for both a vampire and a werewolf. Said vampire and werewolf hated each other, natch. I can't remember what the film was called but that shouldn't detain us here. The point was that the vampire and the werewolf had distinct qualities. The vampire was cool, suave and aloof; the werewolf was a growling beast of hot, rapacious emotions. This distinction struck me as being akin to the two broadest and most contrasting images I think men might have of femdoms. We see plenty of men turning up here on these forums looking for the vampire-type of femdom. They want women who are cold, who will be disdainful of them, who will only want service from them, in the form of body-worship or - in a more focused way, worship. Their ideal femdom doesn't want sex with these men - because such femdoms are too 'Goddess-like' for that, while the men concerned are too 'low and contemptible'. The other type of femdom is like the werewolf. Far from being cool, aloof and disdainful, she's a man-eater. She wants to bite chunks out of a man and make him bleed. She wants to take him and eat him. The last thing in the world she wants is some bloke grovelling at her feet. How boring and pointless, she feels. Right . . . at this point, I feel that I should distill all this into some questions. This is difficult, but I'll have a try. Firstly, femdoms: Do you consider yourself a Vampire, or a Werewolf? How do you enjoy dominating - the cool way, or the hot way? Secondly, malesubs: Would either a Vampire or a Werewolf do for you? Do you see each femdom fantasy-figure as a different type? Thirdly, femdoms, again: I think, with this topic, I'm havering towards something that goes to the core of feminism. Yep, I really do. Because my intuition is that the vampire-type femdom-ideal is borne of very traditional ideas of women are and should be, while the werewolf idea of a femdom is something quite the opposite. The werewolf femdom wants to use her power actively and aggressively. She's not going to lie there, decoratively, while a man slobbers over her feet. Instead, she's going jump on him, bruise him, bite him and make him bleed. But I see far, far fewer men looking for this 'werewolf' type of femdom than the 'vampire' type. Am I right in thinking Ms Werewolf is less in demand than Ms Vampire? If so, is this because of a really ancient kind of sexism - that kind that adamantly refuses to see women as sexual beings, as incapable or 'above' animalistic kinds of lust - at bottom, not active, but passive? Lastly, if anyone wants to distill the above into one or more better questions: be my guest. All thoughts gratefully accepted.
