How Cardi B and Lil Nas X Flipped The Script On Sexual Power Fantasies
Sexual power fantasies are no longer just for straight men — and that’s a good thing
“I feel like for a long time men felt like they owned sex and now women are saying, ‘Hey, this is for me. I want pleasure. This is how I want it or don’t want it.’ It freaks men the hell out.”
Sexual power fantasies are one of the most incredible aspects of sexuality. It allows you to embrace your imagination and give in to a hypersexualized version of yourself that society often doesn’t allow. The imagination is a powerful thing, and it’s incredible how liberating it can be to give in to your deepest desires.
However, those same power fantasies often have one fatal drawback — they are often designed for straight audiences. Generally, there is a higher emphasis on pleasing straight men, or doing everything possible not to upset them. In a world where men reign supreme, it can feel like they have a monopoly on the sexual power fantasy market.
