My 2010 vintage 750 SAT reading score was of more limited use than I would've liked here

I’m into what’s called “sensual (or gentle) femdom” and all of the men I’ve dated have leaned more towards “sub,” and I wonder if that sort of mindset (for me) is why I thoroughly enjoy these kinds of articles from you! It’s funny because I get along well platonically with (healthy) “dominant” types…

(Though a big difference for me is that as a woman I could never “make” a guy do anything and also I find the performative “cruel mistress” Domme behavior cheesy and strange… I see it more like “playing fun little dirty games that can be our little secret” angle). And also that since men usually have to constantly be vigilant & “on” for sex that they tend to really enjoy being able to offload all that stuff to me & turn their brain off and enjoy it. I think also because I’ve always very tempermentally unsuited for hook-up culture & still traditionally date like in the “before times” I (probably) am just sublimating my “thrill” urge into kookier private sex.

But even though I’m a (mostly) straight woman I feel exactly the same way as you towards being more tender with women in general. I think you’re really onto something and I hope you continue to write more on this!!
