Are You a Control Freak in the Bedroom?

We all have our style, the way we like to get down.  Our fantasies range from the sweet slow loving that’s hitting all the right spots, to the rough & rugged ride….and that’s cool…in our fantasies.

Fantasies are a solo activity; sex is a shared experience. What goes down is more about the flow & energy of both partnersThe dynamics of that flow change when one of the partners insists on treating the interaction like it's a throw-back Burger King campaign….”having it their way”.  Perhaps reminiscent of Ann Marie Johnson’s character in Strictly Business….”left, right, up, side…” (lol)

If that’s your style, then I doubt you’re having good sex; and in all likelihood, neither is your partner.  Most women enjoy having their partner take charge.  To lead with a strong hand, but more importantly an open mind.  We have no problem with following a man's lead, but we also want our bodies heard.   We want the insight we possess on what makes our bodies purr & climax, incorporated into our time with you.

Fellas, if your lover shares [with you] the things that bring her pleasure, it’s not a criticism of your performance or your skills.  It’s information that you can use to enhance them -- take the loving to another level for her and for yourself.  Trust that you’ll be rewarded with a body that’s pliable to your touch, and ready for you to umm...lay it down. 

Control is not achieved by demanding (verbally or non-verbally) positions, locations or certain acts (like pushing her head south).  It’s achieved by the ability to elicit the kind of responses that bring you both (breathless) to the promise land.

Take notice of how she moves (or her lack of movement).  Note how she responds when you touch or kiss her in a certain way…on certain areas of her body. Let her responses be your tour guide.  Listen for those breathy directives often spoken in a whisper:”harder, slower, ahhh, right there”…and respond accordingly. 

If she hesitates about doing something you suggest, then either she needs more time or more incentive to go there, maybe it just doesn’t feel right for her….respect that.  Your exemplification of respect will beget respect, and inspire her to go the extra mile…with your pleasure in mind.

Ladies, understand that presentation goes a long way toward inspiring a man to listen to your bodies and incorporate your insights.  Impart the knowledge with a sensual hand, humble spirit, and passionate abandon. 

Don’t play games and hold back on your efforts to pleasure him until he listens; just continue making it do what it do, while encouraging him to make it do what you like….ya feel me?

When sex is truly a partnership versus a dictatorship, the possibilities for pleasure are endless.

Footnote:  Fellas...please understand that just because Becky Sue liked to be bitten & choked during sex does not mean that Chiquita is going to like it.  In other words...sex is not one size fits all, so please don't approach it that way.  Ditto for you ladies.

I agree though have to admit my submissiveness far suceeds my dominance in this department it has been a problem in the past because of my unwillingness well moreso my lack of knowing how to say things without sounding trashy.....my inhibitions swallow me whole....lol

But you are right one should display their needs/wants to their partner heck everyone should feel sexy

@Lovely:  Thanks for checking out the blog!  You're right, everyone should feel free to express their needs/wants.  Unfortunately, many don't for various reasons...they will just suffer through it or drop the person citing some other BS reason...when in fact the problem was lack of sexual satisfaction.

At the end of the day, its about being open and responsive to one another's needs and not taking our partner's feedback as criticism.  If a guy tells me I don't like when you do so & so...that aint about me...its about what brings him pleasure, and if I'm checking for him like that...why would I not want to know that info, and then act accordingly?  Ya feel me?

@Dashon

Sister I'm sure this is your rated PG version for the sake of this being a public site. You're absolutely right that the best lovers are selfless lovers. Only thing I'm concerned about is what pleases my lady and everything else will fall into place if you're with the right woman.

I would even take a step back and expound on the importance of developing that mental chemisty. Some recently stated on this site that it's impossible to reach a man emotionally? I beg to differ. If a woman can excite a man sexually, emotionally and she's a selfless lover? It's nothing like it sister.  Good sexual encounters start way before you even reach the bedroom.

"Good sexual encounters start way before you even reach the bedroom."

@Rick:
  Very true.  In an ideal world, two people would have made a connection that allows them to discuss some of these things before they actually get to that point, or have such a huge comfort level with one another that by time they consumate the relationship...communicating needs/desires in a loving way is almost automatic.

However, generally the circumstances under which we have sex with someone is not ideal, and let's just keep it real...sometimes its not even about a "connection", its just about sex.   Even in these situations, its important to listen to the verbal & non-verbal cues of your partner so that its a good experience for both parties.  I'm sure un-satisfying sex has gotten many a man or woman their walking papers....just my 2.5

I agree Dashon with your blog.  Personally, I think emotionally and sexually pleasing your partner is the #1 attribute that a man can bring to the table in an active relationship... I know I will catch flack over that.  I feel nothing good will likely happen if a man isn't willing or is unable to please his woman on those two level.

Don't pop me when I say this, but if a man had a choice of being a very "good man" and marginal lover as oppose to being a very "good lover" and marginal mate, he would be far better off with the sistas by choosing the "good lover" marginal mate selection.  The sista-hood don't have patience with a good man and marginal lover as oppose to the other way around.

In our relationship, it is my girl who is always pushing the boundaries of sexual exploration, and I'm very receptive, but I'm like where did all this freakiness come from.  Her "Preacher Man" Jahova Witness "that isn't what that is for" ex husband was very very restrictive in his sexual exploration... if you get my dift.

@Wood:  I would say that for most men "emotionally and sexually pleasing your partner is the #1 attribute that a man can bring to the table in an active relationship" is a goal.  However, this blog was more about men (& women) who are not open to recieving feedback on what their partner wants or likes because they feel their "program" or techniques are the bomb; as well as those that take umbarge when they get the feedback.

"The sista-hood don't have patience with a good man and marginal lover as oppose to the other way around"

Its true that a man who is a skillful lover will probably be given more latitude than a man who's just a marginal lover; but IMO that applys more to a dating situation than a committed relationship or marriage. 

In a committed situation, a woman will be more willing to work with a good man who is a marginal lover.  Most do it with the hope that over time they can "teach" him how to make love to her in a way that is at least satisfying...if not mind-blowing....ya feel me?

Yeah, I feel ya.  And I also feel you on being receptive to a woman's feedback and guidance in the bedroom.  From my experiences, I have a good ideal of a few techniques and acts that tends to please most, but within that, I still find that there is a measure of an adaptive learning curve that varies from sista to sista.

@Dashon...girl, girl, girl!

All I can say to this sista is AMEN amen and amen!  Thank you for this beautiful blog.  And sister girl, speaking for the sisters that I know feel you too…I feel Ya!.... Imma have to let this one simmer cuz you aint never lied!

Okay, It’s Official!   This site is the shiznit. 

@ RickGeez!  See that is what I am talking about.  People just don’t seem to think that the real passion lies within the mind.  Its power is abundant.  But when you mix that with the emotions of the spirit, along with the atheistic of the eyes, what a glorious mix.

 
On February 3, 2010, 6:49 pm TrenD says:

@ Wood....no disrespect, but the fact that her ex was a Jehovah Witness have nothing to do with your wife lack of inhibitions with you.  Did you ever think that perhaps you brought that out in her more so than the fact that he was more on the "traditional" side.  I wonder how many of our grandparents were freaky behind their closed doors.  I believe that the exposure to the wealth of sex and sex appeal opens our minds so much more than what we may allow things to happen if they were in a natural order without the mass media being involve.  Maybe the same...maybe not.?,.


"The sista-hood don't have patience with a good man and marginal lover as oppose to the other way around."

I was feeling you up until this point and then my mouth open and I screamed NOOOOooooo, don't say that.....so not true.  I was born and raised as a Jehovah Witness.  Although, I am no longer practicing...it does not change what/how I am as it pertains to sexual passion.

But more than that, I would trade the best sex for a really good man.  Any day.

Thank you for sharing!

 PS:  Sorry, for the many comments.  Wanted to comment as I felt it and this blog is so good.  Thanks, Dashon!

I am more than a freak in the bedroom. I am a pleaser. I was told that I am agressive, I am really just about getting mine, if he get he's too, we are good. I want a man that is in total control but usually that is not the case. When we are finish and he is very satisfied, im like what the hell was that. My ex-husband was a porn freak. He did not know I was a freak too. For some reason men dont like their wives to be freaks. He was a virgin when we married so I had to contain my freakish ways. Well after 16years the freak in me was contained too long. I'm looking for a partnership, someone who can handle all that I have to give and all that I want in a sexual encounter.

It depends on who I'm having sex with. If it's a woman I care about outside of sex, then I'm open to her needs and desires, if it's just....Random Girl B....then I could care less. It's my way, or I'm leaving.

@TrenD:  Welcome to the Hill, and thanks for commenting on my blog!  No need to apologize about the number of posts...ALL comments are welcome.   Love this comment: "People just don’t seem to think that the real passion lies within the mind.  Its power is abundant.  But when you mix that with the emotions of the spirit, along with the atheistic of the eyes, what a glorious mix."  Well said!


@Loveless:  Sis you be confusing me...on one hand you say you're a pleaser, and on the other its "just about getting mine".  Perhaps you and Undressing are on the same page....if you're into him...you're about pleasing...if you're not...its your world, and he's just a squirrel trying to get a nut...LOL.


@Undressing:  As cold as your comment sounds I actually understand it.  I think we all put more effort into pleasing our partners when there's an emotional connection.  But please trust that while you might not care if you satisfy the "jump-offs'...if you care about your Rep...then you won't be serving up no weak azz loving in any situation. 

Do you really want to be the dude that a former FB runs into while out with her girls, and she tells them how whack your sex game is, while laughing about your lackluster performance behind your back? 

And please believe that in most women's book -- a selfish lover equates to bad sex...even when you're only just Random Boy B....ya feel me?
