Sexual submissives

Female submission is an activity or relationship in which a woman consents to submit to the direction of a sexual partner or allows her body to be used sexually by or for the sexual pleasure of her partner. The expression is often associated with BDSM , when the woman voluntarily and consensually submits to such activity. Submission usually involves a degree of trust by the woman in her partner. The dominant partner is usually a man, but can also be another woman, or there can be multiple dominant partners simultaneously. The submissive woman may derive sexual pleasure or emotional gratification from relinquishing to varying degrees control to as well as satisfying a trusted dominant partner. Submission can take the form of passivity or obedience in relation to any aspect of conduct and behavior.

A person may also identify as a bottom to not only describe their sexual preference, usually one who receives penetration, but to indicate their social role and sexual identity. A partner pins your arms behind your back during doggy. Or pulls your hair during missionary.

We all recognise the popular image of submissive men who worship women and get off on being dominated. So why is it that submissive women are often perceived very differently? This response is perhaps understandable on the surface, but it misses the point.

Some people are into all of the things listed under BDSM, and some only some of them. Of course it is pretty common for sex and power to be mixed together in our culture.
