The emphasis is on responsibility and accountability, not on authority and power. Whoever is better with details should keep the checkbook. Kevin Miller also had some insightful thoughts on these verses. He explains that people see submission as one person having control over the other and abusing their power.
This makes the person with less power want to resist and rebel. If I have more power, instead of doing what I might do naturally and use that power to make my life easier, out of reverence for Christ I'll use my power instead to serve you. I'll give up even my life in order to benefit you. I do agree when he says, "Submission doesn't mean you go along when you're being asked to do something that violates Scripture, your conscience, or common sense.
Those who better understand these verses make it clear that they are not about power and control, and I agree. On the road, when you are yielding, it has everything to do with safety for yourself and other drivers. In a marriage, if you are yielding to each other, it has to do with respect and consideration.
Both husband and wife should yield to each other. You can sacrifice time off work to spend time with your loved one. You can sacrifice some of your money to use it in a caring way. Husbands and wives should yield and sacrifice out of love and mutual respect. While talking to girls my age on the topic of female submission, they also admitted that the word angers them, too, and it had nothing to do with sex or relationships.
I have never heard a woman say she is naturally submissive. There are always exceptions, but the majority of history and animals show this to be true. There have been a lot of things normal throughout history, such as slavery, but as a society we have been evolving past that.
There are people who can argue that biologically, women are more passive than men, because testosterone makes men more assertive. If you witness the way men and women interact with each other and amongst their own sex, you can see this play out a lot. Men ask for more promotions than women. A partner pins your arms behind your back during doggy. Or pulls your hair during missionary.
Or spits in your mouth. Or spanks your bum. So long as all partners consent and enjoy these moments, this is A-OK, says Callie Little , a sex and relationships educator and writer.
A scene might entail one partner spanking another 10 times, at increasing intensity with the goal of getting to a 7—10 on the pain scale. Or it may be much more elaborate.
Maybe the scene starts with wax play, moves onto nipple torture, and ends with orgasm denial. Or maybe it involves an extended flogging. The types of physical sensations we enjoy change — as we age, as our hormones change, as our comfort levels with our partners, playmates, and selves evolve.
Think about what turns you on. If you remember one thing from this article, make it this: All play — kinky or otherwise! A safe word is something either partner can use to signal when a mental, physical, or emotional boundary is approaching or has been crossed.
Because every scene should be negotiated ahead of time, you can update and revisit your lists every time you play. Yes, this is vulnerable, but in order for your partner to understand what you want to try, you need to tell them! What is it exactly about this fantasy that turns you on? Lucy disagrees. We find that it increases our connection as a couple as we share a fetish that we both enjoy immensely. And we communicate a lot during sessions, which improves our relationship as well as our sex life.
I took me a while to get my head round it all and it involved much talking. I love being able to enjoy the sensations and the experiences.

If you're curious to try something , there's no reason why you can't float your fantasies by your partner and find out if he's on board. But conversation is key. Without it, could easily be misunderstood by your partner, damage your relationship, and even put your mental and emotional health at risk. Gail Saltz , a psychiatrist, psychoanalyst, best-selling author, and host of the Power of Different podcast.
This will likely take multiple conversations, both inside and outside the bedroom, with lots of feedback from your partner [to make sure] they too are comfortable with this type of sexual play. As long as you're in control of when and how you engage in and define submissive sex — whether that to you means being held down, wearing a collar and leash, begging for his penis, and, well, I could go on and on — there's no shame in your game.
