Another one of my academic questions, years of research (stories, posts, videos) but no practical experience, and each time FLR crops up it make me wonder whether they really exist.
I’ve seen many FLR accounts, even ‘serious’ ones in proper society magazines (like vogue, cosmo etc.) and here is a typical example of what I have read
And for those I find myself thinking, is that really FLR or is it actually MLR (Male Led Relationship), and here is my thought process:
Agreed there will be cases where the female is holding something over the male, perhaps she earns considerably more and if he wants to share that then these are the rules, or the female is out of his league so if he wants to stay with her these are the rules, or the male has committed some serious indiscretion and if he doesn’t want the female to take action (divorce him, report him etc) then these are the rules. That is a dominant lifestyle and I agree that would be classed as FLR but I also imagine that it is quite rare.
But for the majority, I think that all the things that are happening in the lifestyle are what the man wants, what the man has asked for, what the man has agreed to. In reality, the man might have agreed to have his earnings paid into the female‘s bank account but at any time he could walk into HR/Accounts and say that he wanted to change the bank account. He is permanently caged but if he decided he didn’t want that any more there is no way that most females would be able to forse it on. He is happy for her to have other partners but if he changed his mind and said “no more” she would have to stop or face divorce - and if that happened, pretty sure that her bulls would run a mile if she asked them to take care and provide for her.
So personally, I think that true FLRs are extremely rare, much rarer than advertised, and that the majority of FLRs are really MLRs because it is the man dictating the lifestyle even though he is choosing to be submissive in it. Not saying that the female doesn’t enjoy it, just that it is really the male that is in the driving seat, making the decisions.
I’ve seen many FLR accounts, even ‘serious’ ones in proper society magazines (like vogue, cosmo etc.) and here is a typical example of what I have read
- The female makes all the decisions, where they live, what house to buy, what cars to own, etc.
- Wife doesn’t work
- Male works, but his earnings are paid directly into the female’s bank account
- Male gets a small allowance to pay for essentials. If he wants more he has to ask the Female and is usually declined.
- Male has to do all the chores
- Male is in permanent chastity, no penetrative sex
- Male has to satisfy wife orally on demand, and is sometimes pegged
- Male has to pamper female
- The male gets punished at the female’s whim
- Female has any many sexual partners as she wants
- The female claims that she is in control, has all the power
- etc.
