One of the many running themes in my stories involves the concept of a powerful woman being seduced and dominated by a stranger. When I use the term “stranger”, I use it to denote someone who isn’t a husband, boyfriend, or former sexual partner. It’s either someone new whom the female character has just recently met (and usually gets to know intimately very quickly) or someone on the periphery of their lives that they hadn’t thought of as a sexual partner.

What draws me to the Powerful Women Being Sexually Dominated theme and why is it so popular?

As we know, women bear a disproportionate share of work, and responsibility in our society relative to their financial rewards. Unpaid work. such as being a mother and running a household, requires a lot of decisions from the moment you get out of bed until the moment you turn in for the night. Add to that, the pressures and expectations of being a woman in the workplace and you quickly have a life where decision-fatigue becomes almost constant.

So when it comes to sex, the last thing a busy or powerful woman wants to do is make decisions. What she wants is to feel desired – to be the object of uncontrollable lust, to be taken and told what to do. Of course, she also wants to be safe doing it, which requires trust or a person on the same wavelength. Of course, that other person needs to understand her desire to be respected and independent outside of the bedroom, but also be willing to feed her dark desires to be something very different INSIDE of it.

Here are some stories that deal explicitly with this theme:

Fading Movie Star Meets Her Match involves a famous woman with a powerful husband who tries to entice a man who she views as “insignificant” into a creative business deal. She offers him the potential of fame and money and is shocked when he refuses. He wants something else – HER.

African Teacher Gets a Spanking And a Master is also about how tables can turn quickly in our roles and lives. Catherine, a mixed-race teacher in Africa who is used to disciplining her students and being an authority figure herself quickly gets put in her place when she goes back to University and meets Professor Steele, a white child psychologist who is an expert in capital punishment and recognizes Catherine’s sexual fantasies more than she does.

In Art Meets Life at the Sex Mansion, we’re introduced to a successful art history professor who decides to visit a sex club with her friend to explore her desire to be dominated. What she doesn’t realize is that she’ll be blindfolded when she chooses her lover and that one of her students is part of the club.

Business Woman Caught Masturbating in her Hotel Room is a little lighter on the domination, but is a very sexy story about a powerful woman turned on by a new work colleague. While she knows that pursuing anything sexual would be unprofessional, fate and circumstance have other plans.

Let me know what you think about this theme and why you like (or dislike) it.
