Minimizing Control

 It's odd sometimes...When I write regularly, it feels like an extension of me. It is, after all, an extension of my thoughts, feelings, and experiences. However, coming back to it is a bit like putting on a pair of pants that are too tight--it's not an entirely comfortable feeling...

Believe it or not, more trauma happens in our kitchen, than anywhere else.

He had me up against the stove, "Admit it--you need it. You're just scared because you need me more. Always have. And you think that if you can avoid needing sex, it will somehow minimize my control over you."

Aw, crap.

"I admit nothing. 
Ow!
Okay, okay, you're right."

To me, sex has always been about power. The more I like something, the more of a weakness that something becomes. So yes, love could be seen as the ultimate weakness, but in my usual fashion, I digress.

I do need him more than he needs me. In every aspect of life. This was a huge fear of mine for years, and it almost destroyed our relationship because I refused to let my heart go all in. Sometimes it still scares me. It was the drawback to getting married  young, to never being on my own, never having to be alone, for my being forming around another person--I don't just want him in my life, I need him.

Not only do I need him, I need him more than he needs me.

The one thing I am usually good at not needing, is sex. He, however, needs sex.
See where this is going?
I long ago found the one thing He needed that I didn't. And perhaps I felt there was a certain power in that. A power which would vanish should I ever find myself victim to physical desire.

It's there though. Always.
In the insatiable flirt
the way I walk and move my hips
the thoughts that float through my mind when I bite my lips
between my legs when he whispers cruel desires in my ear.

It's there. That final last power to grasp desperately onto. My last iota of control.
Desire.
As his voice slides across my mind like velvet covered steel:
"Admit it--you need it. You're just scared because you need me more. Always have. And you think that if you can avoid needing sex, it will somehow minimize my control over you."
I know that I am losing the very last vestiges of my imagined control.
That I am truly in
mind
body
and soul
Because my slavery to him is what makes me whole.

  2. Oh jeez. You can see how much my need for it (sex) has left me a fucked up mess in the post I wrote today.

  3. I believe that there has to be that tension of unbalance. And maybe it doesn't matter who wants what more, in the end he manages to use it to his advantage (your He, my He, all of them I think.) lucky you.

    1. gg,
      I think that you are right--that no matter the direction, them managing to use it to their advantage is what makes it work...

  6. 'And you think that if you can avoid needing sex, it will somehow minimize my control over you."'
    wow. that really spoke to ME too!

    listen, I'm not convinced that you're the one who needs him more than he needs you.. Otherwise why would the fact that you therefore didn't go all in with your heart for so long cause a problem at all?

    It maybe in different ways, but he definitely needs you I'd say..

    Just my two pennyworth from my side of the computer screen of course! xx

    1. mc kitten,
      oh I know he needs me too--for one, nobody else would put up with his offspring.

      Hmmm, I think that need and want differ here. I do believe that I need him more. Perhaps it ultimately doesn't matter if that's true or not though, as long as I believe it...?

    2. need, want.. sometimes it's just what you call it... As you say, it's just that you believe it rather than whether it's true or not...
