It’s a common fantasy for women…
Is your wife one of the 62% of women who want to be ravished? Studies have shown that this desire to be lovingly, yet forcefully taken by her man is one of the top five sexual fantasies women have. And it’s one that can get complicated in the age of #MeToo and discussions about consent. (Not to mention feminism.)
Let’s be clear. This fantasy is NOT about being raped.
Rape is an aggressive act of violence and power. I can understand the confusion because the first definition of ravish is “to seize and take away by violence” which pretty much describes rape.
It is the second definition that more closely relates to her fantasy—to overcome with emotion; to fill someone with intense delight; enrapture.
It’s about confidence.
She wants you to have a plan and assertively carry it out so she can give in to the pleasure you are bringing to her body. Not spend time in her head wondering what’s coming next or whether you are tuned in to her.

Your Wife has Desire, But Maybe Not for You
Okay, I know that sounds harsh, but it might not be as bad as you think. Because if she has any kind of sexual desire that means there is potential to improve your love life. In a recent post, I addressed spontaneous, reactive, and contextual desire. Today, I want to...
The Most Wonderful Time of the Year (Really!)
Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. Not only is it in the middle of my favorite season, but there are no gifts to buy, no costumes to wear, and no real decorations to put up. Just a celebration of all the things that make life enjoyable—good company, good food, and,...
Why Your Desire and Your Wife’s Don’t Match
I have said for years that the biggest challenge to a successful marriage is that you are now, always have been, and always will be two different people. And this includes how you approach sex and intimacy. In the beginning of your relationship, this part may have...
Some men want to give up…
My client Tom has stopped initiating sex because he’s always getting it wrong. He doesn’t fully understand how to read his wife’s body and is afraid of not pleasing her. He also doesn’t like being directed by her in the moment. So he’d rather hop on the internet and take care of himself because he never feels rejected there.
You can learn to be a better lover
Sam, another client, has made a different choice. He wants to be a great lover to his wife and has taken the proactive steps to learn about her sexual response pattern and what turns her on. She has responsive desire—meaning she needs to be physically aroused before her desire for sex kicks in. This is very different from spontaneous desire, which is the way most men are wired.
Instead of giving up on sex, Sam chose to learn how to interpret his wife’s movements and sounds. He’s learned what kind of touching and where gets her hot. He’s built up a repertoire of moves that he can access at any time. This has made him a confident lover and their sex life has greatly improved.
Are you like Tom or do you want to be more like Sam?
It’s a balance of energies
Her ravishing fantasy is about creating sexual tension between your masculine energy and her feminine energy.
It is often difficult for women to step out of the masculine energy that today’s world demands. When she is in charge in many aspects of her life, it can be hard to let that go. And if she can’t let go, it can be challenging for her to get aroused.
The basics of sex are simple but being a confident lover takes time and effort. And most of us have no idea where to learn. And good sex is about both of you enjoying it.
Yes, she probably has some things to learn to be a better lover. Being a leader means going first. She wants to melt under your touch. That’s what this fantasy is all about. Are you up to the challenge?
