Superb Opinion

  • This question only takes into account heterosexual relationships. So I'll stick with that and say that usually men find themselves playing the dominant role according to the stats however it depends on the dynamic and the personalities/temperaments of both partners involved. Some men like to be overpowered by a seductive woman in bed. Some women love to take charge and there are men that love that and similarly their are men who love to be dominant and the women who love that. With that all being said, there is no need to make sex a monotonous routine! You can switch it up with an equally interested switchy partner and there is nothing wrong with that. My point is, it depends on the desires of both. If you both want different things in bed, that just means you aren't sexually compatible. You can stick it out and compromise or just find someone else who is more compatible with you.

Most Helpful Guys

  • Depends, there are women who are dominatrix, men who are doms, and both sexes who are asexual and looking for companionship. I don't know about should, but the vast majority of times I've taken the initiative, dominated, and taken the lead in areas outside the bedroom as well.

    I mean, if you're a guy waiting on a woman to take the lead... you might be waiting a very long time, like until your wake.

  • It can be either or both; taking turns or at the same time
    I'm on the dominant side and I prefer dominant women. It makes for some interesting dynamics when both want to take charge and at times can result in some really great sexual play-fighting.

  • In nature, it's the man but we as humans have control over every aspect of our lives. If you choose to be dominant is your choice. If you choose to be submissive it's your choice. As long as you and others aren't being hurt then do as you please.

  • It usually is the man, but if a woman wants to be dominant on occasions, that would be okay. For each couple, it should be whoever feels more confident in that role.

  • Depends on the couple.

    also depends on what you think you mean by Dominant

  • Whomever is most comfortable with that role. It's even possible for neither to be dominant. In the privacy of your own bedroom, you play by your own rules.

  • It just depends on the dynamic.
    Im not a naturally submissive person. But I am submissive around my girlfriend because that's just how our personalities click together.
    If I tried to dominate her it would just feel fake, awkward and weird.
