Power Sex


Sex is the most powerful weapon God ever gave mankind. For ages, men and women alike have used sex ambitiously. While animals use it merely for procreation, the contorted human mind has used sex to command power and even dictate terms – bare handed and bare bodied. It doesn’t matter if you are rich or poor, single or married, divorced or even widowed; if you know how to use your sexual prowess you can probably have it all. And those who have experienced the powerful, victorious almost delirious ecstasy of “conquering the concubine” in the other person would agree that sex without power is a waste.

It’s POWER SEX all the way. Did I hear, Grrrrrr? Some might cry foul over the guilt that comes with it, the moral compass misleading us when it comes to power sex and makes one cringe in guilt and shame. But not me, I always felt venerated and vindicated after “Power Sex”. To find a place in the hall of fame one needs to throw away the moral compass and along with it, the feelings of guilt, shame and irresponsibility. Power Sex, like power yoga and power nap, is short, action packed and with a high rate of return.

Clutch him in your arms, seduce him with a smile, satisfy him and take complete ownership of him. Make him lust for you do not lust after, let him expect but never fulfill, drop hints when you hiss in his ears. Be cautious, tread carefully and walk away with a smirk of arrogance, feel of vindication, make him feel like a pauper and don’t wear him as a badge of honor.

Is there a right age to get into such sexual trading? Just like gender, economic and availability status, age too has nothing to do with such power play. You have to play it right. I played mine for the first time during my first year in college, yes, when my friends were just discovering the joys of…..well “self-gratification….I had already started trading. Or should we call it power brokerage? Blasphemy?

He wasn’t tall, he was dark and nowhere close to handsome. I wasn’t attracted to him, but there was something that I wanted to prove. To myself, to him, I wanted to show him the power of my hormones. He was divorced, vulnerable and it didn’t take much to ignite passion in him. One golden rain in the desert was enough to get grass back to life. Feigning a look of helplessness and loneliness on campus, I was able to get an easy invite to my professor’s home. The next steps were easy, process driven and from my left brain. The energizer bunny in me raced him into deep woods and man did we “play”.

When we got back from the woods the power equation had shifted. His eyes had lost the glitter of supremacy that superiors usually command, I could see them filled with lust and guilt. I am not sure, if he was he frightened, ashamed or shy but things were not the same anymore. Not for him.

A single moment of physical intimacy was enough to dethrone his ego from the pedestal, the gap of superiority had vanished and suddenly, we were equals.

Discovery doesn’t happen until you are lost….. lost in power or lost in LUST.

It is power sex that gets you to places where your economic background, race, color, designation experience, and education disqualifies you. In the darkness of lust, you can have your arms wrapped around people who might refuse to respect you, or meet with you or even dine with you. Subscribe to power sex and you will find yourself “Eating Out”.

Power sex doesn’t mean you are a slut, it just means that you are good at recognizing opportunities and you are good at trading. You know your returns well and invest accordingly. You are just a trader, albeit of a different kind. But the rules remain unaltered. The same principles of economics and trade hold good. There is no gain without volatility and to reap profits you must know when to enter and when to exit. Buy low and sell high. Move your pawns and paws with a plan and sometimes it is good to hide and strategize before you prey.

Rules of Engagement:

1. Never invest over and over again in the same company. Read: Beware of multiple mutual explorations with the same man.
2. If the stock looks sticky get rid of it. Douse him away like a cigarette butt and leave no room for ignition.
3. Try and stay risk-free. Have an escape route. A relationship escape route.

How many power shift stories have we read and heard about from the days of Magdalene to Madonna? The “fluid” power has written and re-written the annals of history and shifted the power equation. How many saints and catholic priests have been living sluts in whites and saffron robes?

Sex has the power to soil reputation, and respect of any towering personality. When used prudently it gets you to the White House without having to go through the Electoral College like Marilyn Monroe and when used wrongly it has made Presidents pawn their respect, Republicans resign in embarrassment and Senators cripple in pain.

Try this game of ‘Power Sex’ once and I bet you will be addicted to it. But learn to play it well. Before you engage in the act next time think if you want to be the real winner, think about the opportunity cost. Let go, charity sex. Let’s make some profit.

Let’s get POWERFUL.

Sounds like someone spoke of Cleopatra ... or more recently Mata Hari! While the world has witnessed the power that these women cold wield through their charms and body.. they were branded as undesirable role models for any parents for their daughters! Hardly any parents tell their sons the story of Casanova at bed time. And lesser still that of GAY CASANOVA (!). Despite society's disapproval, the same society has people who have thrived well on this power and continue to do so. As with many other life choices it may have its effect on both you and others that are part of your power play. So the decision is yours ... if you can sleep in night with your choices then GO .. PLAY!

Hmmmm....interesting....but here I am to share the feelings of a person on the opposite side of the Power game.....
You said "make him lust for you".........is there no concern for that "him" whose desires don't get fulfilled.......probably I am not worthy of being traded.....oh...just realised that I was speaking about myself...yes....anyway..like you I am also anonymous...so what is the big deal....not worthy of being traded...inspite of being close to handsome....is it essential that power sex works only with a not good looking guy like the professor....
Is it that I don't surrender enough...
Though a victim...I do not want charity sex...
I would like to say that the Economics of sex have been well depicted...very capitalistic attitude....."when to enter and when to exit"....is insider trading too involved in this power game ....
just wondering if someone can direct me to a Not For Profit set up....
