Female led relationships discussion

*(This topic started elsewhere, but I feel it deserves its own thread, so here goes.) While I agree that some folks simply appreciate kink like they enjoy a good blow job - a pleasant bonus rather than a necessity - I believe for those of us pulled toward FLRs, it is practically indistinguishable from being an orientation: not merely a preference or liking, but something fundamental to our identity.

Speaking personally, I have always been interested in submission and slavery, drawn strongly to powerful women long before I was aware of sexual feelings. In High School, I hovered around the high-dominance girls - much to my embarrassment - teasing them just enough to provoke a delightfully angry response from them. And no, I had no clue what I was doing.

Typically, when people ask about early signs of being kinky, MaleSubs in particular seem submissive through and through. I gathered some links to Reddit discussions on my blog. I will paste them here: Interesting Reddit thread that provides context on this topic. I’m certainly not alone… And another discussion here: Earliest memories that hint at your tendency towards BDSM sexuality? And one more: What’s the etiology of your interest in Femdom? And another: When did you realize you were into BDSM? And another featuring a nice opening post from a Gay submissive: Where does kink come from?​

However, I would like to hear your stories and know whether you view your submissiveness (or dominance where relevant) as an orientation, or “just” a fetish. Please share…*
