Female Domination, Male Submission – The Professional Female Dominatrix and the Male Submissive Discussed with Authors Melissa Febos and I.G. Frederick

Oakland, CA, December 12, 2009 --(PR.com)-- The female dominant lifetyle suggests a surprising twist on patriarchy, the social construct which places males in control of and a position which is superior to that of females. In a female dominant relationship, the woman is the controlling partner. Each Wednesday and Saturday night starting at 6:00 p.m. PST/9:00 p.m. EST, dating coach and advice columnist Deborrah Cooper and guests explore modern dating trends and behaviors. This live, call-in format talk show delves into all aspects of dating and romantic relationships, addressing a different hot topic in each broadcast. Melissa Febos (www.melissafebos.com), is the author of a soon to be published book entitled "[i]Whip Smart![/i]" which tells the story of her four year experience as a professional dominatrix at a mid-town New York dungeon during her years as a college student. "We live in a culture that is largely based on, and promotes an imbalanced power dynamic between the sexes. My experiences, both as a professional dominatrix, and as a human being, have led me to the belief that most people possess an inherent desire for a balance of power in their personal relationships. We all seek to experience the pleasure and freedom inherent in both domination and submission." Her writing has been featured in the Southeast Review, Storyscape Journal, The Rambler, and Redivider, among many others. Night Owl Romance named I.G. Frederick's latest novel, [i]Dommemoir[/i], a Top Pick (www.eroticawriter.net). It tells the story of Geneviéve, a forty-something divorcee who tries to spice up her life and get her chores done by dabbling in the BDSM lifestyle. In the process, she discovers her true nature as a FemDom. Nicolas, a bank executive who hides from his need for enslavement most of his adult life, also shares his story. Told in their own words, Dommemoir reveals how they defy cultural norms and suffer through numerous obstacles to find what they need despite society's condemnation. "I believe any dominant/submissive relationship requires love, honesty, trust, and symbiosis. Without those elements, the dynamic falls apart. However, with those elements, one can achieve an intimacy far more intense than is possible in a vanilla coupling" she states. Join them as they discuss the mental and emotional needs both men and women have which are satisfied by the female dominant lifestyle.
