5-20-10 *I want to live darkly and richly in my femaleness." Anais Nin

"I do not want to be the leader. I refuse to be the leader. I want to live darkly and richly in my femaleness. I want a man lying over me, always over me. His will, his pleasure, his desire, his life, his work, his sexuality the touchstone, the command, my pivot. I don’t mind working, holding my ground intellectually, artistically; but as a woman, oh, God, as a woman I want to be dominated. I don’t mind being told to stand on my own feet, not to cling, be all that I am capable of doing, but I am going to be pursued, fucked, possessed by the will of a male at his time, his bidding."
— Anaïs Nin


WOW!!!! Did this woman have balls or what?? To really admit that must have been scandalous. I mean, I am shocked! And not shocked at the same time.....what a concept....not wanting to be a leader. I have never had that luxury or fortune or whatever you want to call it. I would so gladly follow for a while....wonder what it's like!! I'll have to think about this.
