As per my understanding of RP, it's quite focused on "traditional" gender roles and dating dynamics. And while male-led relationships might not be a core part of TRP, I'd say it's definitely quite closely aligned. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

That being said, what're your thoughts on femdom? Both in terms of the kink and the lifestyle (which I think is much rarer). I personally am a switch in bed, and my partner and I often try out some femdom stuff in the bedroom. The only RP guy I know routinely criticizes me for it, saying it's antithetical to how relationships should be. Oh well. But I'm curious about the thoughts of the RP folks on this sub.

EDIT: (Not all these views are my own, but here is a common list of reasons why some men like femdom)

  1. It makes you feel wanted. Even if your partner is willingly having sex with you, knowing that sometimes they're willing to take matters into their own hands and want to be in charge of the fucking rather than you, gives an exhilarating feeling of being wanted.
  2. Effort. I doubt starfish sex happens a lot if there is enthusiasm from both sides; but many men say that women are often content with just having the man do the work. Sometimes, the woman doing the work feels nice to these men.
  3. Care and acceptance. While it's obviously true that a lot of men would be into being dominant and in control of the sex, femdom in bed usually translates into women being more comfortable with being more 'masculine' and less adherent to gender roles, per these men.
