On Your Knees!

Falling to your kness is usually a sign of humility before a subject or circumstance.  Such a posture or position generally concludes submission.  But taken in the context of sexuality does it conclude submission or could it be construed as an act of power?  In other words, when you drop to your knees to perform oral sex, either fellatio or cunnilingus, are you being forced to  submit  or do you have the power to force submission?

I suspect that one could conclude the act of submitting or the act of forcing submission depends on the personality or temperament of the actors.  Some folk who perform oral sex on their mate are in perfect control of the situation, having learned what makes their mate submit or knowing the body well enough to understand the most potent errogenous zones.  This is a kind of power or control that women have wielded over men for centuries, the power of seduction and sexual manipulation. 

Then there are those who submit through acts of fellatio or cunnilingus as they are dominated by the other actor.  These folks suffer the humiliation and domination imposed by the other actor in the same way Monica Lewinsky did with President Clinton and for the same reasons, I suspect.  I remember her saying it gave her pleasure to give him pleasure when she was being made a farce of because women thought it was degrading to give a man pleasure without him giving pleasure in return. Ms. Lewinsky's position was that her pleasure was derived from giving the President pleasure.
She submitted to his power. 

Falling on your knees can be an act of humility and submission or it can be an act of power and control in sexual relationships.  I find the psychology of this act intriguing because it determines what you are giving and what you are taking from sex and how your needs are being met during the act.  But I suppose such thoughts are not important during the act, eh?
