My lover and I are standing throughout from one another, inches away from the mattress.

He’s simply had a bathe and some drops of water slide down his abdomen and land on the towel he’s wrapped round his waist.

Though he’s practically bare and I’m totally dressed, there isn’t a query that he has the higher hand.

‘Take your garments off,’ he tells me, with out breaking eye contact.

My physique aches for him. We’ve been teasing one another for hours, eagerly ready for the buddies we had over for drinks to depart in order that we are able to have intercourse.

The air is tense with anticipation as I dutifully oblige and slowly undress for him.

He doesn’t transfer a muscle, simply appears to be like hungrily at my physique as every layer is shed till I’m in my birthday swimsuit.

Solely then does he lastly contact me. 

He lifts me up, making me really feel gentle as a feather, and locations me onto the mattress.

The intercourse is superb and lasts for hours. My lover provides me orders alongside the way in which, telling me which technique to transfer and bend, when to play with myself and the place to the touch him.

I’m on the mercy of his each whim and I completely like it.

It’s taken me just a few years to just accept that I prefer to be submissive within the bed room. I puzzled what letting a person take the lead stated about me, and whether or not I used to be letting womankind down. I now realise that’s nonsense. 

I get pleasure from nothing greater than to take directions (Image: Rachel Adams)

Exterior of the bed room, I’m very dangerous at taking the backseat.

I handle a giant group and work in a excessive strain surroundings. Pressing deadlines are an everyday a part of my day. Switching off doesn’t come naturally to me.

I’m additionally a fiercely unbiased girl who pays her personal approach and handles her personal enterprise. 

And but, with regards to intercourse, I get pleasure from nothing greater than to take directions.

Energy play of this sort is available in many types and I’ve tried fairly just a few of them.

One notably scrumptious reminiscence contains my accomplice tying my fingers to the bedpost and having his approach with me (with my consent, in fact).

One other time, an ex and I attempted ‘edging’ – which is while you take your self or your accomplice to the purpose of orgasm after which cease to make the eventual climax extra intense. I needed to ask his permission to complete, which was torturous and extremely scorching all on the similar time.

Once I was in my mid-20s, I didn’t actually take into consideration energy dynamics like this very a lot. I used to be nonetheless studying what I loved and infrequently dated older males who have been extra sexually skilled, so it felt pure for them to take the lead.

However as I grew older, and began writing and studying extra about equality and ladies’s rights, I felt a bit uncomfortable with my alternative in sexual companions, in addition to the kind of intercourse we had.

I’m not one to take the backseat in life – so I puzzled why I did so in mattress.

I frightened about why I used to be drawn to sturdy, dominant males who weren’t afraid to take cost and the place my willingness to surrender management got here from.

I contemplated this query for years and even mentioned it with knowledgeable as soon as, simply to get an goal opinion.

What my therapist instructed me – and what I quickly realised myself – is that my sexual decisions don’t replicate who I’m as a lady. 

To make use of a easy analogy: my lover may be the conductor however I resolve whether or not or not I wish to step onto the prepare. And, because it seems, typically, I like simply being alongside for a (very pleasurable) trip.

It really makes excellent sense that I like taking a step again in mattress after having to juggle a lot each day.

It’s a releasing feeling – like exhaling after holding my breath for a very long time.

I’m not the one one who struggles with the idea of being two totally different individuals in and outdoors the bed room. A lot of it has to do with emotions of disgrace or guilt. A current research experiences that just about half of girls (48.5%) and over a 3rd of males (36.3%) expertise sexual disgrace in some unspecified time in the future of their lives. 

One pal instructed me she appears like a nasty feminist as a result of she is a giant champion for ladies in her day by day life however loves it when her different half calls her a ‘soiled slut’ in mattress.

I listened to her and relayed an necessary message: ‘What you will need to bear in mind is that willingly being submissive is a alternative – and a strong one at that. If something, having the ability to let go and belief your sexual accomplice on this approach is one thing you have to be happy with.’ 

It’s OK in case you get pleasure from being spanked or paddled, or need your lover to tie you up.

You aren’t much less of a feminist in case you like giving up management – and neither am I.
