What does he mean by dominant in bed?

my boyfriend said he likes to be dominant in bed. But whenever we are together he always wants me to be on top. He's the first guy I've been with so (he's well experienced). I don't really know what he means by it. He'll ask me what I want him to do to me and that just embarrasses me and he seems to think that's hot but how can I get him to not say stuff like that. Why ask that if you like to be "dominant" I don't get it.

  • The difference between a submissive guy and a dominant guy is not what they do, but how they do it.

    For example, a submissive guy asks you to do something, while a dominant guy tells you what to do. They both request an action from you, but one of them gives you the control, while the other establishes him as the controller. Think of it that way.

    So just because you are on top doesn't mean you are the dominant one. Dominance is not about being on top but about CHOOSING who will be on top.

    And he wants you to tell him what to do, because he can't know how to please you without knowing what you like. This is not about dominance. This is about him wanting to please you.

    And when he says something like "tell me what you want me to do to you", he is still giving you an order. Notice he doesn't say "tell me what to do". He says "tell me what you want". So he is still the decision-maker, in terms of what will be done.

    If you read between the lines, he is still the dominant one in this scenario. That also means that you don't have to be embarrassed of stating what you want. You are just "following orders".

    Anyway, if you are unhappy with this situation, then have a talk with him. Try to have more positives than negatives in your talk (i.e. compliment him twice before criticizing him once), and always approach positively (such as "I would like it better if you did this" rather than " I don't like it when you do that".

    Alright, that's all from me.

  • Dominant: ruling, governing, or controlling; having or exerting authority or influence. In other words, if you're "dominant", you like to take charge and be the one who calls the shots. In bed, that means you like to do things to your partner, while they are "submissive" and let you do whatever you want. Obviously, though, in this relationship, he's the dominant one and you're playing a more submissive role...at least, in bed.

    While he may think it's cute that you're embarrassed by all of this, however, I think you should really let him know that his behavior makes you uncomfortable and that he needs to tone it down a bit so you don't feel overwhelmed in bed. He may have had lots of partners, but since you're still new to this, he needs to slow things down and match your pace. Sex is basically teamwork, in a sense, and it doesn't work if one of you is charging ahead where the other one isn't ready to go yet. Instead, he should be introducing you to this stuff at your own pace so that you can enjoy your time together, not be worrying about what all the new stuff means.

  • If he is asking you then you should def. drop any embarressment you have in asking or trying new things. Being dominant is basically seeming as if you know what you want and your gonna get it lol

    -Taking control in not being afraid to explore or be explored- is a fun dominant key
