( L - R ) Marilyn Bennett, Sharon McConnell-Feanny
We asked our special Flair anniversary guests the following question: Who should initiate sex, the man or the woman? These are their responses.
Yendi Phillipps: Whoever is ready and in the mood, just be creative. But sometimes men like when women take charge.
Grace Silvera: Like most women, I like to be devoured, it's traditional that men are the hunters who do the devouring, men are always the initiators, but there are times when a woman should take some of that pressure off her man.
Let the vixen out, and allow the man to see another side of you.
Romae Gordon: Who initiates depends on communication as well as the vibe, energy and feeling in the bedroom. There are many things that can be a turn-on for each of you.
Janet Silvera: Some women have to be in charge, and I am that type of woman.
If you are naturally a strong leader, then you are going to be the same in the bedroom and take charge of things there too.
Sara Lawrence: I think the men should be the ones to initiate sex.
Nancy McLean: In spite of tradition, in the heat of the moment, whoever is going to take charge will do so.
Marilyn Bennett: What happens in the bedroom should never be scripted.
Maxine Whittingham-Osborne: I don't believe that passion can or should be prescribed. Whoever feels the desire can lead, of course, with mutual consent.
Sharon McConnell-Feanny: I think no one should be 'in charge', but that each person is responsible to keep the love flame burning bright, by taking care of themselves physically and mentally and making themselves available for intimacy as often as possible! Making love is the glue that keeps relationships together.
