"psychological aspects of femdom"

.....you get loads of interesting stuff.

[wiener1]

I also want to know, but still I don't know.

Everyone will have different opinions, but some commonly occurring themes would be:

• role reversal
• relinquishing control
• pleasure and pain
• humiliation
• sacred feminine/goddess worship

....etc. etc.

For me personal I like cute women with a heart warming smile. Those who look fragile and in the need of protection. If such a girl turns out to actually be able to kick some ass, I'm simply impressed and feel kind of pride having a cute woman around that is not to mess with. It's the opposites that make my heart melt and a good feeling when a sweet woman that could crush you in a scissorhold is actually gentle to you but still uses her skills in a playful manner.

That's just my nature. 

[Ronald_Frump]

I think the concept of evil being attractive is important here. The idea that a woman can lure you to her because of her looks, yet also be cruel and sadistic in her nature. Which part of you wins? Is your rational and moral side capable of turning you away from her? Or is the sexual urge so strong that you are helpless to resist her, forcing you to not only accept, but crave her depravity?

Also, because we are social animals, I think we tend to class such a woman as an Alpha-Female. From a species point of view, males are going to want to mate with good-looking females who possess key survival traits such as physical strength and aggression.

I am not qualified to exactly answer ... But fetish-life includes the agonizing frustration of virtually never having the opportunity to "live" your fantasy, but also the perpetual hope of experiencing scenarios/occasions that are exciting/turn-ons, and those rare occasions when you DO experience those scenarios.   Those who have no fetish/fantasies are, I think, bored with life at a relatively early age.

Maybe it's more common in those with a vivid imagination? I'd say there's definitely a creative/artistic element to it.

[HunkyJ]

Yes...yes...exactly.   I have had very strong vibes/incredibly exciting chats with women with degrees/careers in creative areas, whether it led to meeting or not (in the majority of occasions there was no actual meeting, but the chats and the few meetings I've had were worth "it").   Creativity/imagination is very, very important...maybe it's true the most powerful sex organ is the brain/mind/imagination.

I have been attracted to femdom as far back as I can remember.  I can recite times when I was young and purposefully teased and/or angered some of my older sisters friends and hoping they react.  It was successful many times and I got pinned down by several.  It was bliss, but I was just a kid yet!  Why was it exciting?  Not sure why...it just was.  I always felt alone in this desire as none of my friends ever expressed any interest.  Even to this day, it seems femdom is generally stigmatized, and is usually an "underground" activity. 
There have been several people on forums who talk about wives and girlfriends that will perform some sort of femdom as part of their physical relationship.  Personally, I cannot do that.  Femdom is fantasy for me and I prefer to engage (and pay for) women specifically for this.  I would NEVER want my wife to be into it.  I need to keep the two worlds seperate.
Just my two cents.

I'm going to agree with Grem again here.  I love the CONTRAST of a beautiful innocent looking woman who can beat down a man, either physically or more mentally, using her sexual power more than just her muscles.

I have never gone for the 'body builder' type, women with muscles bigger than mine although I know MANY guys into this fetish love that.  We don't really have much of a choice about what turns us on, I usually think of it as the fetish picked ME as opposed to me selecting this interest.

I've read some papers in the past, written by people in the Psychology community about fetishes. It's still fairly difficult for them to do research on this kind of thing because most people keep their fantasies secret (I certainly do, outside the anonymity of online forums). But the advent of internet porn has made it much easier for scientists to track and measure the prevalence of different fetishes. What's starting to become clear is that the number of men who are into some version of femdom is a large minority.

So anytime I feel weird about this fetish, I remind myself there are a ton of other people with either the same one or some variation of it. I think Mixed Wrestling is pretty vanilla as far as kinks go. There are so many weirder fetishes out there that I feel lucky not to have.

True. IMHO it is the purest form of femdom. Physical and sexual superiority, using nothing but the power of the female body - hence, I think it's quite artistic as well.

^^ and this
Dude the last place I was living was with 2 girls and I was the only one with a laptop. It was only a matter of time before I got drunk and left something open. Either way when they tried to make jokes on me for it I just busted back that the last dude one of them had banged had worn socks during the sex and asked to suck her toes. Yeah I know the foot thing is like the moat common one out there but I think feet are nasty and they shared the sentement. We all agreed as far as famtasys go there could be wayyy weirder ones.

Myself, I'm into real. Grappling, wrestling, hell in all honesty fight scenes between a guy and a girl in movies are like my biggest vice. Had a date for the avengers movie, black Widow vs Hawkeye I literally pushed the girl out of my face to watch it. Not saying I want a girl who will let me punch her out, that'd suck. But fantasizing about a super fine athletic chick who can hold her own breathing heavy and really trying and making you try as well. Gaaaaaaaahhhh ^_^

...were all fucked in the head >_>

With me it is the fact that I'm so skinny.  Every time I see a woman I'm attracted to I often wonder if she would be able to pin or physically restrain me if we wrestled. Over the past few years I actually gave in and have had some experience in really physical matches which kind of confirmed what I suspected all along.
