My Dominant Lesbian Girlfriend: Lesbian Romance and Domination

Product Information

It’s important for our community to understand ourselves and I’m thrilled to see the thought and effort that went into crafting the survey.

It does seem that most survey-takers who adopt “top” or “bottom” identities have some interest in kink, too — and bottoms were actually more likely to be kinky than tops or switches. Butch– femme culture is not the sole form of a lesbian dyadic system, as there are many women in butch–butch and femme–femme relationships. Lesbian separatists such as Sheila Jeffreys argued that all forms of masculinity, including masculine butch women, were negative and harmful to women. How masculine/feminine energies and presentations actually play out in bed and attraction — including the impact of dysphoria on sex — is a larger topic for a later post. The dismissal of femmes as illegitimate or invisible also happens within the LGBT community itself, which creates the push for femmes to self-advocate as an empowered identity not inherently tied to butches.

This particular series feels important to me in a way I can’t articulate yet so all I’ve got at the moment is fucking thank you. A dominant is more clearly involved in a power exchange, while a top might just be the more active partner,” said one non-binary dom on our survey. It is sometimes used interchangeably with butch but some believe this term is exclusively for blak lesbians.

studies, more conservative homophile organizations of the 1950s, such as the Daughters of Bilitis, discouraged butch–femme roles and identities.

I read through other descriptions of lesbian and some people who made definitions on this word are just plain retarded. In the novel Stone Butch Blues, author Leslie Feinberg explored the working-class roots in America and the concept of transmasculine and stone butches. i feel like people’s eyes glaze over when they see a long list of open-ended answer responses in a post summarizing data, so we usually save open-ended answers for listlings. Part of the reason for the phrase ‘ pillow princess’ is because of the assumption that hard bottoms are usually the more feminine partner- but again, this is just a stereotype, and being a masc or stud pillow princess is pretty common too.
