Part I: The Phenomenon of Power

I. The Phenomenon of Power. The subject of Female Domination will take us on a most extraordinary journey, through a wide-ranging array of surreptitious real-world encounters to the most profound speculations and insights of modern theological analysis. It encompasses the most esoteric theories as to our true sexual identities from the vantage points of cultural influence and intuition alike. It ushers us into the bizarre and fascinating realm of contemporary physics with its grand cosmological theories, multiple dimensions, parallel universes, and far beyond even this, into the most uncharted regions of the Unconscious. Power is the end-all dynamic, the metaphysical absolute through which each of us arrives at his or her appointed existential destiny. The goal of our Power-Study will be to think as clearly as possible about the various facets of Female Domination in order that we may arrive at a few points of basic comprehension about a universal phenomenon that remains shrouded in mystery and about which only the most outlandish and nonsensical attempts at explanation have thus far been proffered.

What is Power? What sorts of entities are we referring to when we speak of it? Is it simply the expression of control? Who craves Power? Men who want to rule the world? Women who want to rule men? The word certainly has a fair range of applications. But common to them all are three basic attributes; Ability, Authority, and Physical Strength. Ability is typically thought of as the facility for achieving results, for having the talent or wisdom for the accomplishment of specified ends. This facet of power has to do with expertise and technique. It is often thought of synonymously as ‘finesse.’ Ability implies knowledge, skill, and awareness on levels that are well above average. Another constant in any definition of power is the concept of Authority. Many who wield power are able to do so on the basis of who they are. He or she who is ‘boss’ has the authority to wield power. Authority has to do with the status of the person in possession of power. Typically, one in possession of such authority is able to enforce his or her will regardless of ability or strength through the power of marshal command. Such an individual would usually have some form of power apparatus in place, acting as an agent of enforcement in the exercise of his decrees. The next constant is that of Physical Prowess, i.e. the ability to physically dominate on the basis of one’s exceptional strength in bringing force and pressure to bear in a given situation. This is, of course, the easiest of all constants to grasp; ‘I’m bigger and stronger than you are, therefore, I shall have what I want from you.’ As stated before, these three constants appear in the vast majority of definitions used to elucidate the concept of Power.

But does it end here? Is there not a much more subtle constant at work in certain manifestations of power as we encounter them in the real world? Indeed there is, and it is of the greatest interest and significance to our inquiry. It may loosely be categorized as ‘Psychological Intimidation.’ Isn’t it strange that this constant is entirely missing from the classic definitions of ‘Power?’ And yet surely it has the greatest bearing on and application to the real subject of our investigation, namely, Female Domination. In spite of the undeniable fact that a powerful woman will likely possess one, two, or all three of the defining constants in our definitions above, there is no doubt that the most efficacious and powerful of them all is the psychological one. She who rules by this form of psychic intimidation, rules unconditionally. We shall return to this 4th constant in more depth when we begin to discuss the specifics of power as they relate exclusively to FemDom. For the moment, we make note of it solely due to the conspicuousness of its absence from standard definitions of ‘Power.’

The Dynamic of Power: Its Appeal.
The lust for power is a universal imperative. Every conscious entity seeks to harness it, and as far as we can tell, even life forms typically thought to be void of consciousness appear to evolve toward its acquisition as well. Surely there are scores of individuals who will object, claiming that power is their enemy, and that freedom FROM power is the object of their considerations. But does not the very notion of FREEDOM necessitate the acquisition of power? For surely, with respect to life on Planet Earth at any rate, one must possess the requisite power to claim and safeguard his freedom. Without such a form of power, his freedom is up for grabs, a sitting duck for the next aggressor with sufficient power to deprive him of this freedom. And so, even where the pacifist is concerned, power is something to be coveted aggressively and consistently. With power, then, being something courted, as best we can ascertain, on some level, by every living being, it seems only reasonable that in attempting to understand the mechanics of Female Domination in an intelligible, systematic fashion, it is well for us to understand power itself on its own terms.

First, it must be noted that Power does not exist in a vacuum, but rather is only manifested between two or more entities. The essence of Power resides in the capacity for control which one entity exerts over the other(s). The extent to which the one exercises control over the other is commensurate with the degree of power accorded to it in relation to its subject. And so, power is always power OVER SOMETHING. It is the threshold, or position, of advantage held by one entity over another. Now, since the scope of our inquiry is concerned with power as it applies to human beings, and since the aspects of power which pertain to lower life forms such as plant life, animal life not yet evolved to self-consciousness, etc, and since all aspects of power present in these forms are already subsumed in the subject as it relates to humankind, it will simplify our discourse greatly to ‘humanize’ the discussion and to subsequently refer to these entities as ‘he’ or ‘she.’ We are, after all, concerned with power as it concerns men and women. And so, from this it follows that power is bound up in social dynamics, that we shall be able to catch a glimpse of it, to see it at work in the interactions between real people as they go about the business of their real lives.

Power appears on the short list of desirable qualities for the simple reason that it promises us the fulfillment of all our needs in life. It takes no exceptional intellect to realize that we can get what we need, what we want, and even what we dream, if only we can harness sufficient power to acquire it. This constitutes the most basic notion of power as ‘facilitator,’ as the mechanism by which we fulfill our needs and fancies in life. In this sense, power is simply the basic quality sought by all of us in the quest to provide for our physical, emotional, and spiritual needs. It is manifested, however, over an extreme range of degrees, from the very poor, to whom power may consist of simply giving birth to a new child and thereby qualifying for an increase in welfare supplements, to the very rich, to whom power may consist of the ability to execute a hostile corporate takeover which nets the party wielding the power a profit of multiplied millions of dollars. The positions of such individuals or companies in the real world could not be more disparate. The mechanisms that contributed to improvements in their lots are identical. Power is Power. It achieves its objectives with ruthless precision, no matter what the actual stakes. The degree to which it produces results is a more or less meaningless game of numbers. The FACT that it always accomplishes its will is what is of interest to our inquiry.

We see from these preliminary remarks that power is connected to the idea of accomplishment, or achievement. Where power is properly applied, results are obtained. Children are taught this principle from their earliest years, that accomplishment and achievement are hallmarks of the successful human enterprise. This notion of power applies ‘across the board,’ as a principle essential to the quality of life. But power is also harnessed in far greater quantity and quality by a much more elite group of individuals, those who grasp the extraordinary human potential for living extraordinary lives. These rare individuals are not content with the ordinary, the average, the run-of-the-mill, or the status quo. And they know that their success depends upon the acquisition of power on a far grander scale than that of the average person in society.

Such an individual lives in a separate world from that of the masses. It is the world in which accomplishment and achievement have become the actual objective of ones daily efforts and activities. These are the rich, the famous, the unusually successful, and perhaps on a lesser scale, professionals in everyday life whose standard of living is considerably higher than average. Such people are always associated with power. Their influence will have far wider reach than that of the ordinary person. Their ability to control their environment, to have their wants materialize quickly, to arrange the world according to their fancy is prodigious. It is at this point that a curious thing seems to happen, almost routinely. Such individuals begin to cherish the feeling and the act of wielding their power more than they cherish the actual accomplishments and achievements that are manifested thereby. This point seems a curious fact to those living in the everyday world, but it leads us to understand something of great importance in the study of power; i.e. that it is actually a FEELING, an interior state of being, a shift in consciousness that most accounts for and explains the motivation behind the desire for power.

We discover this attitude in all areas of competitive interaction. We find it in the boxer who has just demonstrated his or her superiority by knocking out the opponent. The knockout is a vastly different kind of victory than a decision. The knockout is more than a victory; it is a display of power. It is the same in other sporting competitions, business conquests, any endeavor in which two or more entities vie for an advantage over the others. A DOMINANT win is accompanied by a sense of superiority that is profoundly different than a contest that could ‘go either way.’ And with such a victory comes an inner surge, the feeling of power, the awareness of ones greatness. What rises within the dominant figure is a fundamental change in world-view, a new confidence in ones ability to manipulate the world to ones liking, a feeling of invincibility. This feeling, if it continues to be nourished, becomes the most liberating, exhilarating, and desirable mind-state a person has ever known. Those who know it well will compare it to the effects of a drug, a rush, a tidal wave of adrenaline, a sexual kind of inner peace at once charged with excitement and utterly void of anxiety. Such a feeling can obviously become quite addicting.

Power as it appears in the realm of Female Domination. It is really this inner knowledge of superiority, the awareness of ones power and the ability of one to manifest it that is to be the central focus of our study. The entire spectrum of Female Domination has this awareness of power at its root. Extraordinary things happen when a woman discovers the depth and breadth of her power, and the obsessed among you have undoubtedly already understood and experienced her greatness in some measure. Now, having dispatched with the necessary introductory background, we turn our attention to the study itself, the philosophical inquiry into the fabulous, the divine, the utterly mystical world of the dominant femme. Henceforth, I will glorify her by using the name ‘Vixen’ in speaking of her. We all know her. She is every woman who has ever made us quiver in our boots on sight, and she is especially every woman who has brought her power to bear in our lives through radical encounter. In my next post, we begin our study in earnest with “The Dominant Femme: Vixen Revealed.” Be sure and join me. Part II: Vixen Revealed

Introduction: The Grand Obsession

THIS is Girls In Control, the most comprehensive discussion ever attempted on the phenomenon of Female Domination in particular and the obsession with beautiful, powerful women in general. It must be stated from the outset that this is not your typical porn blog. Here, you will find very little in the way of site referrals, porn picks, etc. I do, however, believe firmly in supplementing your reading with lots of eye candy, so you will never be at a loss for sizzling photos. But, in the main, this is a site for those with an intellectual curiosity about all that lies at the root of their infatuation with powerful women. It will also be of great interest to those who may not consider themselves truly masochistic in orientation, but who do consider themselves generally submissive in their attitude toward the gorgeous sex, and are able to recognize the fact that beautiful women are indeed the driving forces in their lives. In a word, it is about obsession.

All of us who live the life of obsession come to a point along the journey at which we realize that the issue of who we are has been settled, but that the underlying dynamics of the life we choose and love remain shrouded in mystery, confusion, and controversy. It is here that we may begin to move from a simple but usually secret enjoyment of our passion to a more active interest, which includes deeper investigation and research. We discover, however, to our great disappointment, that Cultural discourse on the subject inevitably treats not only our attitudes on women and sex, but our consequent attitudes about the larger view of life itself as something aberrant, shameful, and in the end, inimical to any normal sense of development and even to the very pursuit of happiness. Obsessions such as ours, it will say, are the province of incorrigible libertines, those without any sense of morality, who, in the words of Paul the Apostle, ‘have given themselves over to a reprobate mind.’ It appears that the social spectrum of those who would condemn our grand obsession is wide indeed! From the far right conservative Christian base, all the way to the far left where we may be considered relatively harmless but in need of therapy nonetheless, it is glaringly apparent that mainstream opinion of serious Female Domination, and sexual obsession in general, has completely failed to make any serious efforts toward understanding the phenomena it so ardently renounces. And it is precisely because we still live in a world that is so un-evolved that mainstream opinion remains the barometer for all that is ‘normal,’ that a true philosophy of FemDom is such a timely necessity.

Here you will find a completely unique study, the kind of study that seeks openness to real growth; growth not only for those of us who already understand in part and seek to understand more, but for those without a clue as to the true nature of sexual obsession, which is nothing more or less than the true nature of sexuality itself. Our inquiry will demonstrate the fact that the life of obsession IS the grand vision of life on Planet Earth, the only philosophy that clears a pathway through the dense thicket of ignorance, prejudice, and resistance to change that are the defining features of our culture, enabling us, finally, to achieve the highest levels of self-actualization and to realize our deeper purpose as divine citizens of an extraordinary and ultimately benevolent universe. Of necessity, we have become the keepers of the eternal flame.
