Understanding Dominance and Submission Preferences in Relationships

Preferences for dominance and submission vary widely and depend on individual compatibility. Some find balance in a partner with a mix of submissive and dominant traits, which can enhance intimacy. The desire for a strong partner combined with control dynamics often reflects a need for emotional security and excitement. Clarifying these preferences helps build healthier, satisfying relationships.

A "mate/partner" who's:

30% submissive & 70% dominant

OR

70% submissive & 30% dominant ...in bed?

And what's the deal with the need for a strong partner but at the same time getting off when you can dominate or control 'em(a little - a lot)?

I always have to preface with "Not an Aries" lol, but the Aries guys I've known LOVED strong women because it was more of a challenge.

They didn't want to dominate a weak woman because if she's weak, then anyone can dominate her and it doesn't mean that they're strong, it just plays up her weakness.
Whereas with a STRONG woman, if they can get her to submit to them, then it proves to them(and others) that they MUST be strong if they could get HER to submit.

Kinda like the difference between taming a kitten and taming a lion. 😉
