FLR

Hi,

As anyone been in a FLR and do you have any advice?
I am thinking of meeting up with a new partner who would like a female leaf relationship but I am totally not sure.
I know you have to tell him exactly what to do during sex but does that mean that you have to tell him when to kiss you too?

Also can a FLR work with young children?

It doesn't sound like it's a sexual interest or fetish you have particularly, so why are you considering it?

You're probably better off seeking info somewhere like Fetlife if you're serious about it.

He seems like a nice person so I want to meet him but this FLR is all new to me....

With the greatest of respect OP, you are way out of the zone. You may, in time, actually be a FLD. Or in common parlance, a Dom.

I am a Dom. It's far more important that you label yourself as opposed to what others' percieve to label you.

Honestly, you ought to have your own independent interest in this particular "lifestyle" or sexual fetish, rather than thinking about doing it for the sake of some "nice bloke" you haven't even met yet.

And why on earth would your children be aware of your roles? Again, bloke you haven't even met and your boundaries are where?

OP, you need not to be dating.

All of this.

You're spending precious time and energy learning about a relationship model you have no genuine interest in, that is a preference of a vanishingly small number of people, that doesn't naturally chime with your preferences, for someone you aren't even in a relationship with... all because he's "nice." It's really concerning and sounds like you feel you should tailor yourself and modify your behaviour in relationships in order to keep a partner happy / present, even if it goes against your own natural wants and needs. Can you recognise yourself in that type of dynamic?

Had to google what this is. When did I become so out of touch? Couldn't imagine anything worse. Isn't the usual mental load women tend to be lumbered with enough to deal with without having to make all sexual decisions as well. I'm exhausted just thinking about it.

iloveautumn3 · 27/12/2020 20:17

I had to Google it as well.

Wonderful typo - female leaf relationship'. I've been trying to imagine myself attached to a man's arm and fluttering in the breeze. (And yes, I too had to look it up!)

LuciaLemon · 27/12/2020 20:36

Whut now?

As to how it works with young kids .. are you insane? Why do some people prioritise their sexual fetishes over their children?
