More Than Words
This is another Jack story. I hope I’m not going to bore you all to death with Jack stories. I don’t want to get… Well you know how things can get. I shall endeavour not to get like that.
But this story is mostly about me. And it is also a good illustration of where the fuck all the dom women are. Because even though I *am* here, I do understand the mind set that leads women to have fantasies about being sexually dominant and not to act on them in any way because they do not fit into the prevailing ideology of the femdom.
Jack sent me an email. Our relationship is really mostly on email. Because we live in different cities and I am busy, busy with work. (actual non-sex-related work – ‘cause I do that. I’m kind of eccentric.) I’m working weekends and everything – it’s quite silly. If you wonder why I’m online such a lot – that’s why. Me and Jack’s second date isn’t going to be until 1st Sep.
So, email. Jack wrote me an email. I forget what about. Something. Nothing. And at the end he says something like, I am sorry this email contains no exciting promises to suffer just to make you wet. Here.
I promise to suffer for you, just to make you wet.
That’s nice, isn’t it? A nice line. So I write back. That was nice. That’s the kind of line I’d like to have you write out 100 times.
I kink for that, see. For the guy writing lines. Not in a role play. Just as is. It’s a kind of begging thing really. And a word thing. And a punitive achy hand thing. In my masturbatory fantasies he is often writing stuff like please don’t hurt me over and over.
Please have mercy.
He’s often tied. Maybe already quite sore from something. I am not so arse fixated – but I do like it hurting to sit down sometimes. Maybe his dominant hand is cuffed behind his back. Maybe he’s having to write cack-handed with a pen he has to dip into an inkwell. He has a time limit which is completely unachievable. Sometimes he’s writing to try and avoid imprisonment as well as pain. Locked up starvation is all too popular with me.
Maybe he’s achy-crampy and trying to write enough lines fast enough to avoid going back in that cage he can’t sit down in.
Anyway I vaguely say all this to Jack and link him to this, which I had seen earlier that day and found stupid-hot. I don’t know much about this guy’s blog, it seems abandoned and there is nothing else I find hot on there – but writing lines just fucking does it for me.
And then Jack went quiet.
See I have fantasies I have never acted on because I just assumed no guy would find them hot.
No guy would really write lines for me. I am no way beautiful enough to demand whatever I want. Best not to ask. It would only be awkward when he said, ‘god, no. Where’s the fun for me in that?’
So I just left it. A man writing desperate lines, with his achey unfavoured hand. I masturbated to it. Never really mentioned it to anyone. Not until I saw that blog and then had it in mind when I was talking to Jack. And I never *asked* Jack to do it. Just said that I would find it fucking hot if he did.
I may have said, while chatting to Jack, that if I talked about a man writing lines anymore I would have to go and masturbate – but that is as direct as I really got.
Not saying I didn’t know what I was doing. I am not coy. Just that I couldn’t put myself in a position where he could tell me no.
About half and hour later Jack emails me. Here.
And attached are pictures. Lots of pictures. Close up and long shots showing the pages full. Long hand. Over and over. Those words.
I promise to suffer for you, just to make you wet.
100 times.
God. All those words and I was speechless.
I didn’t try and enact my fantasy before because I assumed it didn’t have a place in femdom. It didn’t fit. That’s a little picture.
Here’s a big picture.
I think a lot of women feel that way about their entire urge to dominate men.
Women have fantasies about dominating men all the time.
But very broadly, female sexual fantasy is a lot more quirky and untidy and emotional and story-driven than male fantasy. And it has a lot less rubber dolls in it. Exactly *not* what is presented to them as femdom.
Women’s fantasies of femdom don’t fit the femdom they are offered. So no deal. They don’t fit the crappy, horrendous, do-it-for-money-not-for-you model so they choose – what else is there? - vanilla. In fact, I think they choose vanilla because if you are a domabe woman with any self respect, a strong-woman in a vanilla world type lifestyle is probably a better fit for your self-image than the dismal non-con humiliation of watching as the femdom corporation kick your desires to shreds for their personal private profit every damn day.
And that is why I started my blog. To get some of those women back.
That’s my big idea. Create this chink of a world where femdom looks different. It’s just a chink, but a few women will get in this way. And they will make this hole in the world bigger and bigger.
And eventually – I know it will take ages - all the women who *want*, deep down inside, to be hitting men with stuff will be happy doing it, instead of just closing their eyes and wishing they were.
And all the male subs will have nice non-ass-hat girlfriends. So they’ll be happy too.
So come the revolution everyone will be happy. Well except a few manky old prodoms who will find there is much less need for they’re spanky services now there are a bunch of women out and happy who actually *enjoy* spanking men so much they do it for free. (Imagine! For free. Mistress Whap, can you imagine loving being cruel and mean to men *so* *much* you’d do it for no money?)
Yeah, so the poor pros might have to sell their ‘full fetish wardrobes’ to buy food and lipstick and botox.
I know, I know, it is so rare to find a solution to a problem that has no downside!
But here’s the end of my story. Back to the little picture. After I’d masturbated over those pictures Jack sent me ten thousand times I told him all about how I thought no man would ever want to do that for me.
He said, ‘Well, look, in future, if you want to do anything and you are worried I won’t find it hot, just ask me. I’ll find a way to eroticise it. And if I can’t, you know, I’ll just do it anyway.’

Oh my god. That is sooo moving and romantic. I *love* this story. I think I might cry. How beautiful.
August 15, 2007 at 9:04 pm
This is an odd moment for me, where I’m finding complete honesty and kindness unfathomably hot.
I think I need a tissue, and it’s not for my nose.
Please don’t hide your happy moments from us.
We NEED them.
August 15, 2007 at 9:15 pm
What’s that Mr Rosewater thing? ‘Godamnit, you’ve got to be kind
I am kind. I try. I really believe in it. Kind and honest and sexually dominant.
Now show me where *that* fits into the femdom
August 15, 2007 at 10:03 pm
i am *totally* submissive…but this little peak really touched me..two whole weeks for Jack to show just what he’s willing to do…”you know, i’ll just do it anyway”
trying raising the bar, bitchy…Jack sounds like a very good boy!!
August 15, 2007 at 10:32 pm
Oh, man, time for me to chime in with everyone else and say how much I love Jack. My partner’s handwriting stinks, and it’s pretty effortful for him to write things out longhand. So now I need to find a way for him to do this, so I can masturbate to it when he’s away, maybe even while I have him on the phone. Or before. Or before and after.
I kinda had the same thoughts about it that you did, Bitchy — thinking it was moderately hot, but not even going there too much in my fantasies because I figured no man would actually do it. But… gah. So now I’m, how do you say it, empowered? Geez, a dom lady empowered. Who woulda thunk it. I’m already wet imagining bbenn’s scrawl all over about five pages of college-rule.
Thanks, Jack.
And thanks to Bitchy for being — in my mind, anyway — the voice of non-pro, ordinary women who have to hit their lovers with stuff and do other mean, nasty things to them in order to orgasm.
August 15, 2007 at 10:44 pm
Sometimes, you know, not often, but sometimes, I really do believe that this is going to work.
August 15, 2007 at 11:13 pm
You said - “And that is why I started my blog. To get some of those women back. / That’s my big idea. Create this chink of a world where femdom looks different. It’s just a chink, but a few women will get in this way.” - and I just wanted to leave a comment to let you know that your chink is already helping me, and I thank you for that.
I’d looked on the web before, but nothing I could find looked anything like what I wanted. Most of the sites assumed M/f, for a start. I think PVC has to be the most unflattering fabric known to womankind, and doesn’t all that leather chafe? Those women aren’t me - I don’t look anything like a porn star. I’ve never actually hit a lover - I just have all these fantasies. Desires.
My favourite is just me in jeans and t-shirt, in a pub, laughing with my friends, when a cocky bloke wanders over and makes a clever comment to impress his mates. And I just reach a hand up, twist it into his collar, and choke him until he’s on his knees, his drink spilled all over his (white, clinging) shirt, and the glass broken on the floor, sparkling sharp.
And he’s begging me to let go, in a choked-off voice, and no-one’s laughing because they’re all staring at me and at him, this ordinary weak woman who’s got this big strong guy down on his knees, begging. And he looks scared. Terrified of me. And he has no idea how it happened, it was just so fast, and suddenly his life is in my hands, and he knows it. He knows that I could do anything to him, anything at all…
Sorry, that got a bit long. My point is, even my fantasies aren’t always the ones I was ’supposed’ to want - no leather, no PVC, no elaborate setups, no formal names. I knew in my heart I wasn’t a submissive, but I didn’t seem to be a dominant either - not like the women I saw, anyway.
So I never took it any further, left it as just my ‘weird’ fantasies, until I found your blog, and decided to try again. Yesterday I was accepted onto the mailinglist for my local munch, and I’m thinking of visiting Coffee and Kink next time I go up to London. There’s a part of me that’s still terrified, but I think I have to try.
I couldn’t have got this far without you. Thank you.
August 15, 2007 at 11:19 pm
Golly
Well you would have never got this far without *you* either.
Wow - that’s so exciting for me to hear - thank you
August 15, 2007 at 11:55 pm
I apologize in advance for littering your comments with self-aggrandizing links and pointless “me too” remarks, but…
Exactly. Variety is a Good Thing.
Isn’t that the whole point of a (optionally D/s) relationship?
And in response to just about everything else in your post:
Yes, yes, yes.
August 15, 2007 at 11:58 pm

Goddamnit Bitchy,
now i can’t stand up unti everyone else leaves to go home.
August 16, 2007 at 12:33 am
I still don’t get it Jones - where is the fun in hurting someone? I can tell that you like it but I am waiting to understand why. As for your current guy and his demonstration of love or respect, I can only hope that my Latin teacher didn’t get the wrong idea when I was 11!
August 16, 2007 at 12:52 am
Maybe you can set up some sort of a contest - I don’t know - for all male readers of your blog to write many, many times what they’d do just to make you wet… which they probably would love to do in person if they were in the same location…
Just an idea.
August 16, 2007 at 1:04 am
Bitchy, let me get in the suck-up line here before I forget why. I had my d/s relationship going before I found your blog, but finding this place was one of the ways I first started to make real, workable sense out of it.
I had just attended a whole bdsm conference right here in Denver. It was great. I got to hear Gloria Brame talk about “[femdom] escaping the patriarchal deathgrip on dominant culture” and more stuff.
But it was reading here that started to open my mind a bit more to different real paradigms of doing this, and, most strikingly, to a different way of viewing male submissives. It’s hard to even remember the revelations now, though it was only a few weeks ago, because they quickly became so obvious.
It’s not easy out here for a budding “femdom.” Thanks for your crazy rants and your hot fantasies both
(Oh, and a few weeks ago my guy asked for a demonstration punishment - we were considering whether to make punishment part of our relationship. I bound his dominant hand to a chair and made him write a 3-page essay with the other one.)
August 16, 2007 at 1:06 am
just amazing, beautiful and romantic. And I’m so not a traditional romantic.
Anyway, the idea that an ordinary looking woman can still inspire lustful obedience…sigh. Thanks!
August 16, 2007 at 5:06 am
Viva la revolution, Jones.

Isn’t that the whole point of a (optionally D/s) relationship?
Well, yes, it is. And I struggle with it a lot.
Here’s the baseline: I have a huge amount of trouble telling someone to do things they really don’t want to do. Maybe that is a product of the relationships I have had, which have been a variety of male submissive who have been focussed hard on fulfilling their own desires through me and then, more succesfully, with a man who I love but isn’t a submissive so lacks that ability to eroticise inequity.
However, despite, that - it being a product of my particular experience - I don’t think it is that unsual. Being dom in fantasy is so easy. Making that leap to doing it in real life is still hard.
And that is what I am saying with Jack. Right now (and maybe forever) I need that level of affirmation

I just ran across that abandoned blog too, just a couple of days ago. It reminded me of the only other time I’ve seen “writing lines” used as a kink. It was in an otherwise terrible story on a terrible website devoted to orgasm denial:
“Kari handed her a few pieces of paper, which Donna read, smiling. She leaned down and showed them to me. Written over and over, in very neat, clear letters was the phrase ‘Kari’s boy apologizes to Miss Donna for throwing a tantrum.’ I squirmed, thinking of a grown man sitting down having to do such an assignment. He must have written the line at least 100 times, probably for each of the women.”
I think the least a story can do, if it’s going to be silly, is to introduce me to potential new kinks I can have lurking in my subconscious.
August 16, 2007 at 7:23 am
Ladies.
Is is possible you are being played?
No, of course not, you will all declare to a person. Because you always do. You never get it when you are being played.
You are all intelligent, empowered feminists.
You’re too smart to be played by a mere man.
Jack, hats off to you.
This is a tough crowd, and you have tamed them. They are all talking about romance!
When you have finished with Miss Jones, they are lining up.
Genius.
August 16, 2007 at 7:28 am
Sorry Bob, I can’t hear you - I am too busy fantasising about Jack…
August 16, 2007 at 7:31 am
Like I said.
Genius.
August 16, 2007 at 7:38 am
Genius is very sexy
August 16, 2007 at 7:48 am
A cynical genius is sexy?
Or romantic?
You can’t have it both ways, Miss Jones.
Or maybe you can.
Your game, your rules.
August 16, 2007 at 1:06 pm
Oh, I undestood that. I just wanted to make the point that, D/s or not, all good relationships will feature elements where one partner is being generous to the other, in whatever way that is manifested. Some people go to see movies they don’t really like. I let Eileen poke needles through my skin even though I still don’t like it. It’s the same thing, in the end.
And I think we all need reaffirmation of that nature like that every once in a while. Perhaps dominant women need it a lot more—that’s what you’re here to tell me about.
August 16, 2007 at 1:23 pm
“Ladies.
Is is possible you are being played?”
You mean is it possible that the person acting out submissive roleplay is acting?
August 16, 2007 at 3:03 pm
I once got an envelope in the mail full of pages of hand-written lines. I was really touched by that effort because I know he did it just for me, for us. I kept them. They are a treasure.
August 16, 2007 at 3:14 pm
Bob, they (we) may be lining up for Jack, but he has his eye wisely on the prize. Yes, he can be both sexy and romantic. And a manipulative genius, possibly. It’s part of his appeal. He knows what he wants, and he’s smart enough to know how to get it.
Bitchy, reading that last line from Jack (’I’ll just do it anyway.’) must have been hugely affirming for you. I’m envious, but you definitely deserve to read something like that.
August 16, 2007 at 3:23 pm
Lines… I’m reminded that scene in the fifth Harry Potter, where the evil bitch teacher makes him stay after school and write lines. In his own blood. With a special magical quill that scratches the words into his own flesh as he writes, leaving permanent scars on the back of his hand that spell out “I must not tell lies”. Oh, and there’s pain involved. They softened and cut it a lot for the film, but it’s there in the book, along with a whole complex resistance/defiance/”see how much pain I can bear without whimpering” thing. For a children’s book, it’s kind of… kinky.
August 16, 2007 at 4:40 pm
So he could be manipulative. He is certainly smart enough to know what he wants and how to get it.
And that’s romantic.
Viva la feminism.
I’ll give up at this stage. This is a battle that cannot be won with logic.
I still admire him. But at least I know what he is.

Or… viva le kink? You know that there’s a difference between a feminist and a kinky dominant woman, right?

Lia — YES — the Harry Potter movie! (Of course, as most things are, it was better in the book.)
My boyfriend smacked me because I started squirming in my chair at that point.
August 16, 2007 at 6:13 pm
Ha ha. Order of the Phoenix was a point of reference for me when I was trying to explain this to Elizabeth (who was eye rolling at me over tinternet).
I haven’t seen the film though, on account of how I am trying to work myself to death.
(*shush* deadlines - not even here.)

Yuh. Sorta. What I have in mind, kind of an anagram of that.

August 16, 2007 at 10:58 pm
I suspect Bob has a chart on his wall where he keeps a record of all the points he scores against feminism. One day he’s going to get it out, then we’ll all be so sorry.
Could it be true? This whole site is just a dirty feminist trick? I thought feminism had been privatised…
August 16, 2007 at 11:00 pm
Dear Bob:
If you are saying that all that is necessary to make women want to sleep with you is to do the things that make you attractive and sexy, then…er, well spotted, I guess. Now go forth and use your newfound knowledge only for good.
August 16, 2007 at 11:18 pm
Ha ha. Order of the Phoenix was a point of reference for me when I was trying to explain this to Elizabeth (who was eye rolling at me over tinternet).
Now, now. I will admit not lavishing the “awwwww” response that other commenters here have, but I don’t remember rolling my eyes. Exactly.
I like the line.
Writing lines wouldn’t be my particular thing, but the spirit behind it?

fantastic bitchy! love it
i didn’t read the posts yet (two glasses of wine, its almost 9pm here) but I will to see what everyone else had to say. But i absolutely love it. This jack’s a keeper (for now)
August 17, 2007 at 8:27 am
I guess I am not a very good feminist seeing as how I let men do things that turn me on and make me happy.
August 17, 2007 at 9:10 am
This Jack fellow, he’s a real shit. Probably got a vietnamese orphan to do the actual handwriting while he sat at home, drinking coffee and smoking big cigars.
I feel better now. Jealousy of a another mans creativity and gerneral vigour and sensitivity and just rightness at doing submissive things is such an unattractive quality.
Now, abiout being a “right” Dom.
Here’s a thing femsups post reminded me of. My biggest, number one, grade a solid gold fantasy for many many years was this.
I’d be sitting at a cocktail bar. A woman would come up, sit next to me and ask me for a cigarette. She’d have an intelligent, humourous voice. At one point I thought she’d be a reborn Dorothy Parker, but latterly she was more Janeane Garofolo ( I have a thing for short, dark haired, caustic women).
She’d smoke her cigarette, She’dorder cocktail. (a strong one. no umbrellas or bits of fruit), we’d engage in conversation, we’d flirt and then she’d turn to me. ask some inconsequential question, then very deliberately push her lighter from the bar so it fell to the floor, look me in the eyes and say “well, aren’t you going to pick that up for me?”
At this point she might put her hand on my leg and squeeze.
My point being that what aroused me was the simple assertion of control, of dominance. No leather, no whips, no… anything, apart from a preference for good quality alcohol.
In my fantasy I would have no idea what she wanted sexually, but I’d be equally certain that because I wanted her, I’d very much want to do whatever it was she had spent the few minutes we shared at the bar thinking about.
As to why it’s no longer my single grade A fantasy? Well, I don’t smoke any more. So the exchange would end prematurely.
August 17, 2007 at 9:24 am
Also, of course the smoking ban would put the kybosh on it to start with. They never took my fantasies into account when they thought of that, the swines.
*drifts off to the perfect cocktail bar of his dreams*
August 17, 2007 at 9:30 am
I was in a cocktail bar last night. I drank black forest martinis (chocolate and cherry), though. I love stupid confectionary cocktails.
August 17, 2007 at 9:44 am
Debates whether to get all cocktail snobby with the propriertrix (deliberate attempt to provoke) of the blog.
Decides that a woman who is dominant _and_ goes to cocktail bars is allowed a black forest martini. Though if you want sweet and fruit based, I’d suggest a bramble. Fuck, they’re good.
I had a espresso martini the other day. It was very good and I had another two, so I’m not a proper cocktail snob.
August 17, 2007 at 9:49 am
I like to be right on the cusp of where it stops being a cocktail and becomes a trifle.
August 17, 2007 at 9:56 am
Then I saw the perfect one for you the other day.
It was made of the following.
Vodka, cream, cocoa powder, and Ice. (actually they might have used chocolate and vanilla essence too, my memory was hazy by this point.)
these were mixed together and strained into a cold glass filled with frozen berries.
This was then topped with squirty cream, and garnished with a bourbon biscuit.
It looked pretty nice until the squirty cream and the biscuit. The woman who ordered it was very attractive and got cream on her nose. Unforgivably, she didn’t eat the biscuit.
I’m not a bartender. I just was entranced by the sight of this.
August 17, 2007 at 12:09 pm
I like to be right on the cusp of where it stops being a cocktail and becomes a trifle.
Bitchy Ogg!
This post makes me feel really, really good about the crazy nonsensical sex in my head. Thank you for that.
August 18, 2007 at 9:12 am
There should be a post about the crossed wires of want that end up making subs think they’re giving doms just what we’ve asked for, when in fact we asked for totally different things. I know you say that a lot, but I feel like there’s this very weirdly specific blind spot that hasn’t been brought to light just yet.
This is kind of interesting. And kind of a lot what *this* post is about - or part of it. I think it also relates to the bloody cultural archetype problem. You say two words about being a dom woman and everyone (- not just male subs: the entire world, esp vanillas -) think they *know* everything about you. Think, oh yeah, you’re a dominatrix. That’ll be boots and a pained expression and back-handing every man you meet around the face for not calling you milady.
And you start explaining er, no - you seems to have mistaken me for a failed-actress with the clock running. Next thing you’re an ungrateful bitch.
I can’t tell you the number of submissive men who have gone to lengths to tell me how offended they are simply by me telling them that I am not that thing they assumed I was.

“And you start explaining er, no - you seems to have mistaken me for a failed-actress with the clock running. Next thing you’re an ungrateful bitch.”
don’t stop now. you’re on a roll.
fucking exactly.
and y’know that’s what I was getting at way back with mentioning my kink for genderfuck: yeah, in some ways genderfucking is associated with Fem! Dom!
viz: le strapon
but also it isn’t. I mean, I’ve got short hair I don’t wear skirts I get wet when someone calls me Sir my boots don’t have a heel and I want a pair of men’s engineer boots, etc. etc.
Go that far outside the Ice Bitch Milady Goddess and you’re not hot any more to the “submissive” male fleas either, except maybe if you pull out your COCK OMG YOU’RE BEARABLE BECAUSE YOU HAVE THE FEMDOM COCK
which pretty well ensures it stays in my pants — hell in my drawer at home thx.
We’re very different but we have a lot in common: we want the people who mean it.
Like service: I like it. But I’m interested in service meaning someone who wants to please and serve and perform tasks, as in stuff I choose, as in not dressing frilly unless I want to see the person that way (hell, I may, but … y’know the whole thing you keep saying: “it’s not! about YOU!”
and as in I don’t consider preening with a duster housework and likely wouldn’t assign real housework anyway.
August 18, 2007 at 9:54 pm
Well we’re probably going to agree on a lot. We hit the same shit. In fact, maybe it’s good that we started from the thing we *really* disagree on. I’d've hated to have us become firm friends first and then have me pull that whole ‘fucking’ thing on you.
I’m gonna write you a brilliant Fuck Me redux soon. I’m gonna spin it all around and find a spot for both of us and still trash the cock=top shit. You’ll love it. Sigourney Weaver is in it.
August 18, 2007 at 10:03 pm
Thank you for your kind words Bitchy you cheered me up no end.But you were right to criticise me.Without some knock backs how would we learn to progress.
Have to try better next time to get your sexual as well as creative juices going.

“In fact, maybe it’s good that we started from the thing we *really* disagree on. I’d’ve hated to have us become firm friends first and then have me pull that whole ‘fucking’ thing on you.”
Yeah I think so. Sometimes when the first contact is sparring, that gets all the snarling and nipping out of the way.
(Been watching too much Dog Whisperer lately, ha)

“And that is why I started my blog. To get some of those women back. / That’s my big idea. Create this chink of a world where femdom looks different. It’s just a chink, but a few women will get in this way.”
It’s working! I just found your blog tonight (thanks to that god-awful show about sex bloggers) and you’ve totally transformed my views. I never thought I’d get the whole dom thing. Because, as you say, I thought I knew what it was; the leather catsuit, the high ponytail, the whip, the endless use of the word ‘mistress’, the total restriction of sexual pleasure to the man’s experience, the contempt. I’m not normally the kind of person who swallows what they’re told, but I’d gone for that myth hook, line and sinker, and as a passionate feminist I’d always loathed it, feeling it was just yet another puppet show for the male gaze.
But what you’re talking about here is something that makes sense to me. And the whole suffering hero thing? Oh my god.
I’m going to have to reevaluate a few things.

It works, and it works the other way, surprisingly enough. I’m somewhat tentative about referring to myself as “femmesub” because it … sounds stupid to me, and because it seems to attract asshats, but after reading your blog over the last month or so I’m at least happy that there might *be* non-asshat doms out there, quite apart from feeling enormously relieved that I’m not required by my sexuality to dress in clothing I cannot get into and out of on my own!
