Female Sexual Agressiveness

Recommended Posts

Mrs. Alura and I have recently taken to watching "Dirty Sexy Money." We don't watch much TV (except football) but started this one because we like Bobby Donald, formerly of "The Practice."

 

Anyway, Laura and I were talking about how sexually aggressive the women characters on the show are. On a scale of one to ten, "Penelope," a lady from my past, would be a "ten." If we added her to the ladies on "Dirty Sexy Money" she'd be a "three."

 

So, if you're a woman, how sexually aggressive do you consider yourself to be?

 

If you're a man, how sexually aggressive do you like your women to be?

Can you define "sexually aggressive" for the purposes of the thread?

 

ETA: Well, if I go along TNT's lines, then I'd have to say I'm probably not aggressive at all, except in my fantasy world or with the spouse. I have heard a complaint or two about the lack of aggressiveness, yet I've yet to find a handbook on how to get to that destination. Nor do said complainers provide directions. It's just not comfortable to me with strangers or those not well known.

Good question there Mr. A.

 

I have been known to walk up to a man, run my hands up his chest and ask him "You want to fuck?"....I think that's kind of aggressive :o

 

Depending on the circumstance and my mood I can be very aggressive or very passive.

If I am comfortable and into a man I am a 9 out of a 10, on alcohol a 10 out of a 10. I am trying to tone this down. It's a double edged sword. Good and bad.

Well.... having watched Red say to a guy last night "are we going to shag or what?" I guess she can be pretty sexually aggressive when she's in the mood :)

Unless I am very far off base, any man who says he prefers a woman who is less sexually aggressive than a "10 is lying, or has some serious pathological control issues!

I have found that it can be a liability. Some men will not approach a sexually aggressive woman, or do not perform well. I had one man (who had issues) tell me that he was just too intimidated by me and did not think he would be able to please me...which of course he did not because he psyched himself out lol. Some ladies do not appreciate a confident female as well as I have learned from experience. This is what I mean in saying that it is a double edged sword.

I like women who are aggressive - it does make it easy. But really, I like for a woman to give me some sort of challenge. I like there to be a bit of flirt and flirt back... That works best for me. She knows I want her, I know she wants me.

 

But - would I really mind if a woman walked up and said "let's go."? Nah... I'd love that. Assuming of course that she was someone I'd want to "go" with.

 

I don't need aggressive, and if I had a friend who was always that way, I'd feel like I were being cheated out of the chance to flirt. But, sure, if anyone wants to club me and drag me off - go for it ;)

For me, I think this case is best served by variety. I wouldn't want her to be more agressive than she would otherwise be,,, just for my benefit. If it's not sincere, it doesn't work. And I think I wouldn't want a roller-derby queen EVERY time. That being said, confidence and assertiveness is sexy!! But where's the line between being assertive and agressive??? I certainly wouldn't want a woman that just laid there silently expecting me to do all the work - I want one (or more) that bumps back and grabs what she wants because she really wants it. Just don't leave marks that last more than a couple of days.

Interesting question as we were just discussing this on the way home from the club last night.

 

I like a woman who is more aggressive than passive sexually. The problem I have noticed is that their is a fine line between a sexually aggressive woman and one who is a little to full of herself for my taste. Their was a woman at the club last night who, while I find her attractive physically, she is so aggressive she just seems too full of herself, which totally turns me off to her. So, while I like a woman who is confident and knows what she wants, if she just expects me to drop everything and go with her without any preliminary flirting and such, it probably isn't going to happen.

 

Then again, if an attractive woman with the right personality ran her hands up my chest and said, "You want to fuck?", my clothes might just pop right off on the spot.:D

I like a sexually aggressive woman, BUT I am turned-off by a woman that is sexually aggressive toward everybody in the room. I want to feel special and feel like she really, really wants to be with me that night. I'm sure women feel the same way if a guy is coming-on hard to every woman in the room.

 

I'm not shy by any means, and I have no problem approaching a woman and being flirty and such, but I won't go further than that unless I get a real sign that she wants me to go further than just flirting. I probably miss-out sometimes, but I'd rather the woman be aggressive enough to make a blatant second move (because I do not do well with subtle :lol:) than be overly-aggressive myself and offend someone.

I love an aggressive woman. I grew up in the south and ran into sooo many women (girls) that felt that a "lady" didn't make the first moves. This puts so much anxiety and pressure on us guys, you'll never know. When a woman makes it very clear she is interested in me, it makes me so damn happy, I just can't say no.

 

Keep it up gals, we love it.

Subtlety is completely lost on me, probably due to some pre-conceived self-image notions that are hard to get rid of. If a woman wants to fuck me, she's got to be pretty plain spoken about it or I'll go with the assumption that shes just being nice, or just flirting and having fun or whatever...fill in the excuse here...and totally miss out.

My husband and I both love sexually assertive women (acts like a lady, but not afraid to be vocal about desires and go after them). I am one too. I'm selective, but not afraid to go after what I want. We tend to be turned off in situations where women are passive and the men are too aggressive.

Sounds just like me :rolleyes: ok very like me i tend to hold a little back i call it respect for the female, if she gives me a positive signal then fine, i can then be more "ok, I get the message "lets play" type :D

 

Just because a female is nice towards me doesn't mean that I expect her to play.

Very, definately a 10. Have no problem saying, "I wanna lick you all over" to a male or female.

Why do we question women's sexual behavior in a way that's different to men's?

 

Why does it have to be a gender thing?

Crazycatz,

 

I personally didn't take this thread as being sexist. My sexy lady is very sexual, but she is passive. She wants the man or woman to take the lead. She loves sex, lots of it, but she doesn't want to initiate the contact. That is the topic of discussion I believe.

Crazycatz:

 

These were the two questions:

So, if you're a woman, how sexually agressive do you consider yourself to be?

 

If you're a man, how sexually agressive do you like your women to be?

 

I'm not quite sure how these questions or the responses are sexist or gender-biased. You have women describing how aggressive they consider themselves to be, and men describing what they like.

 

Care to expand why you find the thread sexist or how you see as questioning women's sexual behavior?

 

ETA: I'm not picking on you/at you, but am genuinely curious as to where you find it sexist?

Yes but my point is we usually only raise this question in relation to women.

 

Hahaha, that is because you assume that men are the agressor. And that women are passive. It depends on the woman, and as stated in the post befor this one, it depends... it was a question of the ladies.... chill out...:D

We actually have asked the question about men here.

 

Basically, especially in American culture (I noticed you were from Ireland, so that may explain the disconnect) women are raised in a sexually passive culture. That is changing - and as the father of a 19-year-old, I'm suddenly against it :eek: Most women do tend to be less aggressive. Swinging allows them to push their own boundaries and comfort zones, but it can still be a little bit of a challenge.

 

Besides - many men want women to be aggressive because it is easier than being aggressive themselves. They want it wrapped up and dropped in their lap.

 

I think the freedom to be aggressive is a good thing - though, as I stated above, I prefer a balance. But in the U.S., the sexual revolution isn't nearly as "complete" as we all hope it might be.

Absolutely agreed. It's funny how women in this country are still expected to be good girls and not like sex.

Spoomonkey,

 

As the father of three, the two oldest are girls, I can relate. The youngest is 25 now. From my view, now that both of them have given me grandkids, is that I want them to be happy and as sexual as they want to be.

Okay - you are right. Coming from a sexually repressed background myself, I really do want my kids to have full sexual experience - whatever that means for them. I just don't want to think about it :D

The fact is that society is sexist, and a sexually aggressive woman is seen by the majority of Puritanical America as a slut. So I take this thread as celebration of women breaking-out of the sexual stereotype of having to be sexually demure or submissive to men. The way the question is asked, and the forum in which it's asked, almost leads the answers. I feel the thread calls attention to how attractive a sexually aggressive woman is. It is celebrating women's sexuality. An argument for it rather than against it.

I appreciate your comment...and agree with it to an extent. However, by asking still do we prefer a sexually aggressive woman still entrenches that dichotomy, IMO. What I mean is that the fact that we have to ask if men like it that just legitimizes the stereotype. In my mind, the way to bypass that would be to ask our opinions of sexually aggressive partners and not be gender-specific.

 

I am willing to concede I might be a touch oversensitive on this but I think there's also no harm in questioning these things as well.

I have to say my level of sexual aggression/assertiveness varies with my mood. If I'm comfortable with a partner or really turned on, I have no compunction 'bout throwing him on the bed (couch, floor, etc.) and taking what I want. And of course, my honey loves that and wishes I'd be that way more often.

 

*HOWEVER* as a stay-at-home mom, chief, cook, and washerwoman, I have to spend all day bossing people around and telling them what I want. So sometimes I prefer for the man to take the lead when it comes to sex. It's nice to let someone else be in charge for awhile.

I've never been super aggressive. Mr. intuition likes pushing my buttons...believe it or not he still knows how to make me blush. He's very assertive. A gentleman, but assertive. I need more practice. ;) Any volunteers for guinea pigs?

I don't think so. I consider it as benign a question as "do you prefer blonds or brunettes?" Women should be who they are and who they are comfortable with. THAT is to fully respect them as people. But as a person myself, I do have preferences - and I know others do as well.

 

Because I know that other people have preferences it helps me to navigate the lifestyle better when I know what they are. And - it can be quite freeing when I know that I am either right down the center preference-wise - or so off base that I might as well not worry about it - or just close enough that trying something new might turn out to be an exciting adventure.

Hubby loves it when I take the lead - tear off his clothes, pull him down on the bed and suck him til his toes curl.

Polled my guy friends, yup, they like it too. Makes them feel like they're wanted. Much easier to get it hard if they feel the lady is attracted to them.

So, if you're a woman, how sexually agressive do you consider yourself to be?

 

I wish I could see a scale or your precise definition of what "sexually aggressive" really is. I think that definition varies a lot from one person to the next! I guess I'm kind of in the medium range. I'm friendly, I smile and I'll chat up anybody. I like to laugh, talk and have a good time (not a wallflower). I'll flirt with men I'm attracted to, hopefully conveying that I'm interested, but I'm not sure I'm highly "aggressive" about it. Does being very friendly and being able to flirt make me about medium?? :rolleyes:

 

I can get really turned off due to issues of aggression and passivity.

 

On occasions where I was grabbed from behind, aggressively pursued after politely declining more than once, or people I've never even seen trying to jump in when I'm occupied (either male or female) - I get pissed off. Fortunately, I've learned more how to handle that since we first started and it doesn't happen so much anymore.

 

I also get really turned off by passivity. Sometimes we meet other couples with an outgoing, friendly man and a very passive, shy, extremely quiet woman. She stays the same way in the bedroom - ack! When trying to please this type of woman, I don't even know if anything I'm doing is working for her at all... NO feedback (she's a log). My husband gets the same feeling when he's trying to please her. I really empathize now with men who complain of these lay-on-their-back and do nothing women....extreme passivity. There seems to be tons of women in the lifestyle who want to play the passive "girl" with both men and women being forced into the aggressive role. I won't play with them anymore. I am not a bull-dyke, and I can't stand those women who want me in that position. If it's f/f, it has to be equal, or nothing.

 

Likewise, I cannot be turned on by a man who is too passive. Spoo mentioned those guys who want it "wrapped up and dropped in their laps". There are men who go to parties/clubs, sit on the wall all night long while their friendly wife meets people, and they don't move off their seat until after their wife has corralled somebody for them to play with. I think of this as a type of passivity, but also cowardice (won't stick his neck out and take a chance). There are also the guys who will sit across from you for hours and barely say a word, and you have to take them by the hand and lead them the whole way. yawn - turn-off!!!

 

I guess you could say that I'm only turned on by people who will meet me at least in the middle. Confidence and friendliness are huge turn-ons for me. This aggressive vs. passive issue is a big factor for me in the lifestyle.

 

Hubby loves it when I take the lead - tear off his clothes, pull him down on the bed and suck him til his toes curl. Polled my guy friends, yup, they like it too. Makes them feel like they're wanted. Much easier to get it hard if they feel the lady is attracted to them.

 

My husband is just like this with me, too. I'm fine with it sometimes, but if he had his way, I'd have to take the lead 90% of the time. I really don't want to....after all, I want to be seduced and "wanted", too. :rolleyes:

I do happen to love sexually agressive women! But the number of women outside of the lifestyle that are a ten are very few and far between.....I would say most of the women I know are around a 3 to 4! on the other hand women within our atmosphere tend to be around a 9 to 10!! Which is a very good thing!

I'm with Spoo on this, you have to be who you are. You are just sexually passive, and thats who you are. LOL, Jay would volunteer himself for you to practice on, thats just the kind of guy he is LOL. Seriously though, its like me trying to be passive all of the time. Just doesn't work. I'm more of an aggressive personality. I'm a quirk though. I love being a sexual sub and love confident, more sexually aggressive men. I love the idea of being taken. But in my "real life" I guess you would say I'm type A aggressive. So just be who you are. There is someone for everyone, its just finding the right fit I think that is the key.

      Yep, intimidating. Not to ME, mind you, but to a lot of straight girls. Contrary to popular belief amongst males, not all girls are bi or bi-curious. Sorry guys. A lot of straight women I know are afraid of swing clubs because of the high interest in FF action. They worry because they think it'll be expected of them. I've never seen a girl get pressured into a girl on girl session at a club, but I do know girls that kinda said they were bi because of peer pressure.
       
      If a girl is totally straight, that's fine with me. I hope that no woman is afraid of admitting she is not into other women for fear of being looked down upon. Be honest and truthful, for here is a man who would have sex with you ANYWAY! jk.
       
      But seriously, you know what I mean. I hate to think that some women have to lie and feel intimidated because of the bi thing and should see that there are just as many women who are straight and happy that way.
       
      That's all I have to say about that.

      The ladies had their turn in saying whether they liked a Caveman or Gentleman more in Spoomonkey's thread that you can read here . Now it's time for the men to speak up.
       
      Which do you prefer? A Lady or a Tramp?
       
      I don't mean Tramp in a bad way, I mean it as an aggressive woman. Do you like it when a woman is aggressive in a club setting or do you like the challenge of having to draw her out of her shell? What makes you know that the woman is interested in you?
       
      Ladies, what's your MO when it comes to letting a man know your interested?
       
      I myself can be a little of both, depending on my mood at the time. There are times where I am very aggressive with men and times that I like to give just the subtle hints to see how he would react to me being more aggressive.

      Sorry for the massive wall of text....
       
      Background-Wife and I have been together for 10 years. Very healthy, monogamous sex life. She's had boyfriends before me, all positive monogamous relations for the most part. I never had any real sexual relationships before her...just one night stands. Dated a girl for a really long time, but never had the sex part, young virgins. Most of my sexual experiences were short lived and not very good.
       
      Current situation-Wife and I really got into the idea of sharing her. Pillow talk, fantasy exploration, watching porn, playing with toys all helped inspire the conversation. We talked about another guy, gangbangs, hotwife, maybe even cuckold type stuff. I figured out though, that I had unconsciously projected myself onto the "bull". I thought I wanted to see her with other guy(s), but I actually wanted to be the bull. We also realized that we both have some very strong bi-sexual curiosities. I've always had them, but they've grown very strong. Her's are more new found.
       
      We decided three things/rules.
      1. Our first dive into the lifestyle would be a very soft swap with another couple. Any exploration is done together as a couple...no solo play.
      2. Any bi play would be just the ladies...she's not ready to see me with guy, fine with me. Guys still in room watching/helping the girls...again... no solo play.
      3. The guys stay with their girls...no trading. I'm nowhere near ready to see her with another dude.
       
      So....we had another couple over the other night for drinks and dinner. We've hung with them several times in the past and maintained a positive, platonic relationship with them. Friends. We knew the female half had dabbled in bi-sexuality before, but we had zero intentions of hooking up with this couple. Like I said....friends.
      After dinner, we retire to the basement. We're all really drunk, especially my wife. Pretty sure the boyfriend was imbibing in other substances. Twice I caught the girls fooling around. First time I went upstairs to get some ice after they went back upstairs to clean up a little and they were making out. The wife asked me what she should do...I told her to do whatever feels right, but to remember the rules. Also gave her a really deep kiss and showed her how hard I was.
       
      Second time was about an hour later...me and the boyfriend were outside smoking and I noticed the girls were gone, again. Go inside, bedroom door is locked, both girls come to the door...wife is naked from waist down and they're both out of breath. Me and wife go into the bathroom...she's upset, telling me the girlfriend basically forced herself on her...but the wife didn't want to her to stop. I'm not sure what to think or feel at this point. I'm really pissed because the wife broke the first rule (see above), but I'm also really turned on. I tell the wife she has to ask them to leave...it's just way too much for me to process. They must have heard us and they were already halfway out the door by the time we got out of the bathroom. Boyfriend didn't say anything or look at me. Girlfriend sheepishly looked at my wife, had a very guilty sad look on her face
       
      Wife and I argued about what happened for awhile and ended up fucking. She came, I didn't...whiskey dick...but it was still good.
       
      Next morning we evaluate the events and the more we think/talk about it...the more we think this couple had planned on doing this the whole time. We already knew the girlfriend unsuccessfully tried fool around with another mutual female friend of ours awhile back. The girlfriend kept feeding my wife drinks all night and it seemed like the boyfriend was going out his way to keep me occupied/distracted with conversation and loud music. I asked him if knew what was going on between the girls...he didn't say yes or no, but he did say he it didn't really bother him. That's when I said it bothered me and went inside to find a locked bedroom door. They never once made their intentions clear to us. We both felt like we were manipulated/taken advantage of...me especially. Felt like I got played, on the outside looking in. The whole scene really sucked and I guarantee we will never see them again.
       
      Wife seems to have kinda reconciled the event. She says it never would have happened if she wasn't as drunk as she was. I believe her. She's still interested in exploration...I guess. I'm still full of odd, conflicted feelings. I'm mad, then depressed, then really horny....all at the same time. Where did we go wrong? Am I wrong for getting mad? Is there any hope for us or should we just forget the whole idea of joining the lifestyle?
       
      Thanks for reading this long boring post. Any ideas, suggestions, and thoughts are appreciated.

      I wasn't sure weather to post this here or in general as it's not a huge problem but something I would like help and/or opinions on.
       
      My wife is bi-friendly/hetero-flexible, she enjoys other women just not into it really full on. So she can't help me on this one.
       
      Say I'm interacting with a truly bi woman on the dance floor or perhaps some close contact near the bar. Then another woman comes up and joins in giving attention to the women I'm with. I'm never quite sure what to do in that case, especially if I see the woman I'm with getting into the attention from the other woman. I sort of back off a bit and feel that this is her chance to get that bi attention that she does not get outside of the club. Should I back off? Should I fell a little intruded upon? Should I just keep giving attention along with the other woman. I'm sure this really depends on the person, but I wanted to get other bi-women's perspective on this.
       
      My experience is this does not happen AS much where a guy will come up and get into the middle of things.
       
      Not a huge problem or stumbling block for me, I just like to ask questions
