Reine, I just googled Female-Led Relationship (I have never googled it including the word kink). There are multiple citations and descriptions. As I mentioned, it is also sometimes termed Wife-Led Marriage. Another term that has been used is Loving Female Authority.The focus of this aspect of our relationship is not kink, but it does include her being in charge in the bedroom. I will not say any more about it on the public forum, but she is well aware that others practice this lifestyle and she knows that it is as unusual a practice as is my crossdressing. The word kink is probably not one either one of us would use. We would just say we have been together long enough to know each other?s buttons. And, she enjoys pushing certain of mine (and me hers). If you are sincerely interested in something more specific, you can PM me. But bottom line, there is far more to it than sex. Yet, I brought it up on this forum because it has opened the DADT door.

Stephanie, I am sure there are many who have not heard the term, and there is much misunderstanding of the concept. Some, as Reine suggested, associate it with a kink. That is an extreme. For us, it has added clarity and openness. For example, yesterday I asked her permission to wear pantyhose under my jeans. She thanked me for asking, and gave me her okay. In the past I might have done it without her ever knowing, but felt guilty and sneaky about it.

I, actually, like for her to be in charge of the house, the housecleaning needs, etc., and for her to assign me chores. This does not mean that we do not continue to make major life decisions together. We do. As I have mentioned, there is plenty of material about this concept on the internet. Some of it is garbage, of course. If you include the term kink in your search, you will get back results skewed towards that aspect of the relationship dynamic.

In a very real sense, she has always controlled how much of my crossdressing has been allowed in our relationship. This just formalizes it and is more open than DADT. Nancy
