Women have a naturally dominant side. (This comes as a surprise to a few people!)
Problem is, the only side many females ever explore in their sexual life is their submissive side. (Similarly, and for the same reasons, the only side many males ever explore in their sexual life is their dominant side.) The reason for this has nothing to do with genetics or one's assigned sex.
Due to social mores still burdening us in this day and age, it seems many women are literally embarrassed to explore their blossoming dominant side. Many women feel that they actually might be betraying their very femininity!
After years of coddling to the "submissive" role they are raised to portray, many women fear that their feelings drawing them to explore their dominant side might be, well, a "bad" thing. (But, of course, a deliciously bad thing!)
Well, I say, if you're going to be bad, be good at it!
(OK, I stole that great line from the back cover of the book, "How to Be Kinky" by Morpheus...)
This is a "nature vs. nurture" sort of thing, so the solution is for women to find a nurturing and supportive environment that encourages their discovering their naturally occurring dominant side, and allowing it to flower and blossom.
It is just as natural for men to have a submissive side. Recently, many males have "come out" quite successfully in acceptance of their submissive side, as evidenced by the lopsided statistics showing numbers of submissive males vs. dominant females, commonly stated as ten submissive males for every dominant female. I doubt that is much of an exaggeration as of this writing.
Women need something similar to the supportive venues males enjoy in (very) recent times like the Aneros forums -- but supporting women's expansion and personal explorations into previously taboo regions like dominance. The recent growing interest in harness play has been a positive move in the right direction that we've seen grow rapidly in the last six months, with men willingly allowing their female partners to explore this level of power exchange with them. That is a very positive move.
Hopefully, as men's awareness expands in this current renaissance of sexual awareness for them, they will pass this attitude of openness along towards empowering their female partners to more deeply explore their female-dominant side. But it is important that dominant women who are already empowered (and their submissives!) take up this mantle and provide their sisters support, education and encouragement helping all females to explore this area of their sexual prowess.
Of course, the basics are easy to grasp of the actual beginning techniques (I suppose you've read my blog on Bedroom Bondage), but the breakthrough can only come via support coming from several directions - directed towards not only the women involved but towards their partners as well, encouraging them both to open up and allow such (very exciting) explorations!
