I wish to adopt a more masculine and dominant mindset, particularly when it comes to women. But is it necessary to mentally dehumanize women to do it?
I'd just like to clear up that I'm NOT talking about an official BDSM agreement. I'm talking about a simple, passionate, fiery relationship where she is my little girl.
We good there?
Yes?
Epic.
There has always been something that's bothered me though about being more dominant with women. In almost every instance of a girl talking about her man being dominant with her.. the way she describes it makes it sound like he's dehumanizing her. Like, not caring what she thinks or how she feels as long as he gets his way.
Granted, most of the time it doesn't cross into rape territory, but it's still enough to make me wonder just how much the guy values himself over the girl, or if he even sees the girl as a truly living breathing human at all.
This question was made all the more prevalent in my mind by an experience I had recently. I was talking to this girl I was very attracted to (who I knew liked me) and decided I'd go to her place. Almost as soon as I got there, I immediately started doing things that I knew turned her on and things heated up.
The thing about that was, I was suppressing a good amount of my empathy when I was doing that. I wasn't even considering the possibility that she wouldn't want to do anything. Hell, when I first approached her at her house, she tried making some conversation with me when I interrupted by massaging her body in a way I knew she liked. That night, I was thinking almost exactly like I imagined the more dominant guys I hear about thinking.
I don't know. I want to be more dominant but something about the prospect of thinking of my girl as owning her, as my plaything (almost, not quite but still), really doesn't sit right with me.
No doubt this is the result of my extreme Liberal "the woman is always in charge" upbringing. So I ask you to please snap me out of it.
Maybe I'm mistaking my own masculine energy as some kind of evil? I'm clueless.
