FLRs are often kink-friendly, but kink is not required. I would also recommend they both read about what FLRs are and aren’t. “Maybe delegate a few tasks that were ‘hers’ to him, and she can tell him how she wants them done,” whatever it is (dishes? laundry? cocksucking?), “as this will help ensure the outcome they both want. “They should, again, start small,” said Barrett. So how can you get started as “the guy” in this relationship? This could fulfill the ‘caring for him as if I were the boyfriend’ portion (what a loving a statement!) while still feeling natural for TBE.” She might enjoy the support and validation that comes from having a partner who revels in her successes and strength. “He might really enjoy supporting her decisions and being more of a domestic partner. “If he legitimately wants to take on a role of supporting her and being her adoring submissive partner while thinking of that role as ‘feminine,’ it could work for them,” said Barrett. While it’s possible that “I want to be the girl” are the only words your boyfriend has to describe the dynamic that turns him on, for some men, sacrificing their “male” power and privilege is an intrinsic part of the eroticism of submitting to a dominant woman. Indeed, they often flout them by relying not on stereotypical behaviors but on what is a natural dynamic for the couple. Female-led relationships don’t rely on stereotypes. There are a lot of alpha men in FLRs who shine in support roles for the women they trust. Being dominant isn’t unique to men, and being submissive isn’t a ‘feminine’ trait. There’s also the aspect of the boyfriend’s gender stereotyping. His desire to take the kink out of the bedroom and merge it with the day-to-day risks turning her into a kink dispenser. “The boyfriend wants TBE to be ‘the guy’ in the relationship to reinforce his desire to be ‘the girl,'” said Barrett, “and she seems okay with this, although she does acknowledge that this would require more than the nurturing and caretaking she’s already showed toward him. If he was worried about walking back his previous comments, or worried you would judge, shame, or dump him over this, that could have been the cause of your conflict, and the pegging-by some miracle-was the solution.īut, hey, you didn’t ask about those other issues, so let’s focus on your actual question: you being “the guy” and your boyfriend being “the girl.” You also need to bear in mind that pegging, while wonderful, won’t solve your underlying “relationship issues.” Unless, of course, the issue was your boyfriend feeling anxious about asking you to peg him.

“That’s great, but they should take it slow, especially if they want this dynamic to be a part of the day-to-day relationship.” “Pegging opened up a huge box of shiny new emotions and feelings,” said Barrett. You guys aren’t new to kink-you mention bondage-but you’ve found something that taps into some deep-seated desires, and you don’t want to move too fast. “They communicate and obviously create spaces to be vulnerable together and explore.”īarrett has studied female-led relationships (FLR) and written books-fiction and nonfiction-about them, TBE, and his first concern was your boyfriend succumbing to “sub-frenzy,” or a burning desire to realize all his fantasies at once. how do I be more “the guy” for my boyfriend who wants to be more “the girl”? Not just sexually, but in everyday life? - The Boyfriend ExperienceĪ: “It’s amazing these two found each other,” said Key Barrett, a trained anthropologist. I feel bad about sending this long story just to ask a simple question, but. I’ve always taken care of him in a nurturing way, but this adds so much more. He doesn’t want to transition to become a girl, but to be more “the girl” sexually and emotionally. He says now he wants to be “the girl” in our relationship. I actually pegged him three times in 24 hours.

It was the most emotionally connected sex we’ve ever had. Then we tried it, and it was better than normal vanilla or even kinky bondage sex. He wanted to try it, but he was afraid and sometimes said the idea disgusted him. Q: My boyfriend and I were having relationship issues until we tried something new: pegging.
