A Female-Led Relationship (FLR) is a type of heterosexual relationship where the woman has more control or power than the man does. In an FLR, the woman is the dominant partner, and the man is the submissive partner. The woman makes most or all of the decisions regarding the relationship, including things like their careers, finances, plans, and chores, and usually extends to their sexual dynamic. There are different levels of FLRs, ranging from low control to a full-blown, 24/7 power play. The different types of FLRs are:
-
Low-level female control: In this type of FLR, the woman has low authority, and all the decisions are taken mutually by the man and the woman. The man allows his partner to take the lead in specific scenarios, and sometimes, she needs the permission of the man to make a decision.
-
Moderate-level female control: In this type of FLR, the woman takes the day-to-day decisions, but she also sets boundaries. The man enjoys the dominant attitude of the woman, and it helps boost her confidence and morale and makes the relationship more positive.
-
High-level female control: In this type of FLR, the woman has complete control over the man, and he is expected to follow her every command. The woman is the head of the household and takes the lead on a wide variety of decisions.
FLRs arent for everybody, but for those who are into it, there are certainly some benefits for both women and men, including:
-
Both partners can flip the script, and the woman can feel secure and unafraid of their own power, without the conflict that comes with trying to find equality in partnership with a man who may want or expect to be in control.
-
It can feel like an escape from reality for the woman, and it may offer new opportunities for self-exploration. For some men, they get to play in the space of humiliation and servitude, which gives them access to....
Its important for both partners to discuss and agree on their arrangement and rules beforehand, as FLRs can range from lenient to extreme. If youre interested in challenging traditional gender roles in romantic or sexual partnerships, an FLR might be for you.
