(Open to people of either sex, including trans people, but I figure it'll be mostly guys into this so I'm writing it from their end.)

You're a good guy. You respect women, you support their rights, you'd never tell them what they have to be or what they're "for".

But fantasies...those can be a different story.

It seems like a common thing around here. Men who really, genuinely want to support and be kind to women but who can't help but find appeal in things that they would never try to actually promote. The idea of a woman who enjoys when he's assertive. Of being the head of a household. Of seeing a woman - of seeing his woman - heavy with his child, delighted by her body's service to him. Leaning against him, depending on him, embracing his strength and support.

Whew. Is it a little warm in here?

I'm a capable, independent, assertive, confident person in my daily life - sometimes even a little too much so! But when I'm feeling the need, when I'm a little hormonal, when I think about being a mom...well, I've got fantasies of my own. And I like talking about them! It's nice to just...set aside societal ethics for a bit and feel what we feel, you know?

So what if you had permission? What if she told you she didn't want to be your equal, didn't want to be seen as the same? What if she wanted to let you embrace what your drives like, because it's what her drives like? What if it were OK to talk about how much you'd love it? How much you enjoy her gentleness, her sweetness, her desire to please, her fertility, everything that makes her different from you?

I'm in kind of a weird place - orientation-wise, I'm like 80% into girls, but there's something so appealing about this impulse in men and the way you're just barely holding it back. Seriously, it's super cute, guys. And I'd love to talk with some of you who feel this way.

30s F, into a lot of other (weirder) things and happy to talk about those too, but no need to include them. Trans, but transitioned ages ago, mostly don't bring it up if it isn't relevant, and can set it aside for talk purposes if you like (or include it, if you think that makes this sort of thing more interesting). Friendly, hard to offend, and generally cool with whatever you feel - you don't get to decide what excites you any more than I do!

Please don't message if you actually want to push this stuff culturally - it's not cool and I will block your ass as fast as you block any decency or sense. This is for consenting people enjoying their feelings, nothing more.
