I have been reading my email again. The headline of this blog, Appropriate Dominance, was a phrase that caught my attention enough to read the whole ad. The ad was aimed at couples. It explained that ideas like the Me To movement could be inhibiting in the bedroom. The author was a woman. She told the reader men and women are opposites. She labeled it as “polarity.” She said things like women want to feel loved, secure the relationship, and so on. She wants the man to express his desire for her while at the same time feeling safe. In things outside the bedroom, the couple should continue to share on the idea of a 50-50 sharing. However, in the bedroom, the man should lead and appear to know what he wants. He should be willing to say, “I can’t wait to get you out of that nightgown.” That expresses his desire. He should also directly say, “I love you.” On the other hand, he should also be able to say, “You are in charge tonight. Do whatever you would like to me.” I think you get the gist of the ad.
What do you think of the phrase “Appropriate Dominance?” Do you think it’s valid? I think the idea of polarity is a good one. How do you think it should be expressed in the bedroom?
