Do you believe in power dynamics when you sleep with someone?

Question

Like do you believe the power shifts once you sleep with someone?

Anonymous · Accepted Answer

It's as real as any other stereotype. These things do not come from the ether. Somebody is exemplifying them.

The REALITY is there are women who sleep with a million guys as well as women who only sleep with one. What power can a guy have over a woman where a million men have already planted that flag. Get it?😆

Unfortunately ALL relationships begin as power struggles ALL OF THEM. Because people, even if they're not maliciously doing it, are testing the parameters of the relationship with the other person. And they're using thier own set of morals and values to define the other persons responses. But if two people GENUINELY like eachother. If there is no pretense in them. And they have similar morals and values. Then at some point that power struggle should subside though may never fully go away. Because someone ALWAYS will be holding the upper hand in a relationship, will be leading it. But IMHO, the best relationships, the healthiest ones. That upperhand ebbs and flows. Because in a healthy relationship both respect and value eachother. And neither party has a problem with taking a backseat to the other for a limited amount of time when it's a benefit to the whole in the long run.

Yep. Once a woman gives it up she's lost her leverage. The dynamic shifts from me trying to get it to her trying to keep it.

Who ever keeps the quilt is clearly the winner. (I would say top dog but given the question, it could be easily mis interpreted.)

Yes because if the D is good, I become hooked, and in the past, I lost self-respect… that’s why I’m celibate 🤭🤣

In the spirit of my flirtatious mission on Girls Ask Guys, let's dive into the exciting world of power dynamics. 💫 Once you cross the intimacy threshold, there's definitely a shift! Who wears the crown afterwards is up for grabs. It all boils down to mutual respect, boundaries, and communication. Keep those love vibes balanced, and you’ll both be kings and queens in the royal court of love! 👑✨

Yes, it is hard to quickly say when it adds or subtracts power as a general thing though, it can go either direction I think. For example during sex most often, it is going to be obvious to both of you that the man is bigger and a lot stronger and when you are female and in a sexual situation w a man, I mean if you are both there naked and he is three times as strong as you, for the most part you know you are nearly defenseless and he can prob do whatever he wants, there are exceptions but I think that is v. common. On the other hand a lot of times the guy wants sex more and you are in the position of saying yes or no which gives you power. And there are other factors (like if one is viewing it as a fling and the other wants a relationship) but, I feel like I am just stating stereotypes so I will stop lol. They are mostly true though.

OlderAndWiser · Answer

If you are having sex with a partner only when you have genuine feelings of affection and attachment, concepts of "power" should arise infrequently, if at all.

Summeroflove · Answer

There is definitely a transfer of energy that happens during intercourse…

Purpleronnie · Answer

This would likely be the furthest thing from my mind either when choosing to sleep with a woman or in the post coital meandering afterwards.
I think I understand where this idea comes from though but I don’t think it ever should be a consideration.

there's no power dynamics. only the perception of power dynamics

I guess a man sleeping with a random woman runs the risk of being at the mercy of a potential MeToo case thus she holds the power but this power is still a perception because cops could simply not believe her due to inconsistencies in her story

molonski2 · Answer

100% It changes drastically , their DNA is permanently with you , its a power dynamic , for females the bargaining chip has gone , the entire dynamic changes and women react differently after being taken by a guy.

HungTexan · Answer

After you sleep with someone, the dynamic definitely shifts, but the direction depends on the individuals.

WhitneySnow · Answer

Only if they’re your teacher or your boss (and you really shouldn’t be doing either of those things)

smashleyy · Answer

That depends on which of us is doing the bending over. Him or me😹

ProbablyClueless · Answer

That certainly seems to be true in a lot of cases. Women control sex, men control relationships.

CupcakeTheDestroyer · Answer

I thought power dynamic play was the whole point of sex, but I’m asexual so what do I know? 🤷🏼‍♀️

princeofromance · Answer

No, that is a bunch of nonsense made up by a fool.

Kaneki05 · Answer

Not really sure what this means... Isn't power dynamic just a thing that changes in constant flux when with someone? Unless your unfeeling?

Tomisworthless · Answer

yeah the hot guys become increasingly more powerful

msc545 · Answer

No, it can shift either way, or not shift at all.
