Brute Force

Fuerzabruta

Fuerzabruta means “brute force” in Spanish. And sometimes, if a person is attuned to it, we enjoy using the exotic non-English words for things to add a sensual frisson to the acts they describe.

I don't know how attuned to it I am, but I can sure appreciate the hell out of this topic...especially the Spanish flavor you gave it. How wonderfully you presented it, Grey Jack.

but there is nothing casual, I think, about fuerzbruta. The stark nature of it usually reeks of barely controlled (or seemingly out of control) passion.

Nothing casual about it, that's for sure. And I prefer the phrase "barely controlled". It denotes being right on the edge of losing it, without actually going off that deep end. But falling over into the abyss can be quite a place to be. For a moment or two, at least. More than that, and you are in danger of losing more than just "it".

the “rush” of actions until some conclusion -- orgasm or otherwise -- is reached.

Thank you for that clarification. The intensity and brutality of the situation can certainly be its own climax. Sure, orgasms are great, many times most powerful on their own, but finding release in all things "Fuerzabruta" can be mind altering and changing. Quite a rush, indeed.

but many partners love to be -- if I can use the word -- “subsumed”

Ooo! Please do use it! What a great word! I'm stealing it, okay?

I’m curious about other people’s feelings and thoughts about brute force in their relationships. What is it like when you sometimes feel your mind or emotions overwhelmed just by the “power” of your Dom’s/Domme’s personality, thoughts, expressed feelings?

For me personally, this overwhelmed state is filled with intensity, fear, exhilaration and serious focus. It's rare to find this place and requires a single-minded connection. Once there, however, there's nothing one won't do to get back there. Well, this "one" at least.

Great topic, Grey Jack. Thanks again for the thoughts. Yours, as well as the ones it provoked from me.
