Drawing Power From Femdom by Jo published 9/15/2026 on ohjoysextoy.com/drawing-power-from-femdom-jo

Jo illustrates in an elegant, cartoony style with a muted palette of lavender, browns, maroons, and sandy hues.

Two cisgender women sit at a bar, drinking their glasses of red wine.

"I'm so glad we finally found the time to hang out!" Laughingly exclaims one woman with tan skin and a short burgundy pixie cut. She wears a sheer long sleeve with a blue tank top and some earrings. "Life's been so hectic lately... Work is crazy busy, then I go home and feel like I'm drowning in chores... and when the heck am I supposed to run errands!?"

"Ugh, I know the feeling!" Jo agrees while taking a sip of her wine. She has light skin and long, light brown hair with bangs. She is wears a magenta colored dress, a few earrings, and a nose ring. "sigh. Who knew being young independent women would be SO hard? LOL!"

"I know you're joking, but seriously!" The short-haired woman continues. "I feel like I only get to truly relax on the weekends when I see my boyfriend. Let's just say he's been... exploring his dominant side lately, which has been GREAT for me." At the mention of her boyfriend, the friend flushes, pressing her palms to either side of her cheeks as she remembers her time with him. The background lights up with flames of desire and little pink hearts, and a caption over her head asks, "whew, is it getting hot in here?" Letting off puffs of steam, she adds, "It's like I finally get to turn off my brain for once and let him take the lead! But enough about me, what about you? You're a dom, right? But you also work, just finished grad school, and do your art on the side... how do you have the ENERGY for it?"

"Haha!" Jo laughs. "Well of course you would say that as a huge sub! For me, being dominant just comes naturally... in many ways, it makes me feel empowered in my everyday life."

"Oh, tell me more!" Her friend encourages.

Narration: Being raised a girl, I was constantly confronted with the roles and expectations that were placed on women.

Three versions of Jo are shown growing up in a sea of un-invited feedback from society. She is shown as a tiny child, a pre-teen, and a fed-up young woman. The feedback tells her, "Be a good girl. don't be bossy. Boys will be boys! Be more ladylike. You'll scare off boys if you act like that! Be more submissive. You're being difficult. Bitch. en are leaders by nature. Guys don't like that. Let him feel like a man!"

Narration: My dominant personality often clashed with how I was told to act. I struggled to imagine myself in future relationships. I liked guys, but I didn't resonate with the idea that I needed to be submissive to be with them...

Jo looks forlornly and with confusion at what she imagines a man and woman couple should look like.

Narration: Then I discovered femdom.

Her hand triumphantly holds up a phone with a text box on it declaring, "Recommended for you: r/gentle_femdom"

Narration: I found a massive community of people who celebrated women taking dominant roles in sexual relationships. I didn't know that was an option!

Jo looks on in awe a collage of images of women dominating men sexually. An old-timey giant key floats over her head, flying towards a lock-shaped hole in her head.

Looking a little confused, her friend asks, "Okay... so help me connect the dots. All the femdom content I've seen... how do I say this... seems to cater to the cis-hetero-male gaze. It's like a bunch of submissive dudes' fetishes being entertained with very little focus on the doms' pleasure... So... how exactly does that make you feel empowered?"

"You're right!" Jo brightly agrees. "I quickly noticed that too. I wanted to see more content of realistic, everyday femdom dynamics... that focused equally (if not more) on women's pleasure! So, I decided to take matters into my own hands and make my own art."

With confidence, a version of Jo from the past slams down a larger-than-life sized pencil as if it were a judge's gavel. She has determined stars in her eyes and she's ready to start drawing on her paper.

Narration: As I explored different femdom dynamics with the characters and scenes I drew...

"that looks hot..." Jo thinks to herself with a surprised blush as she looks at her own work that she's drawing on her screen. She is working from home with her hair pulled back in a loose, messy bun using a clip and she wears a large, comfortable blue sweater.

In another scenario, Jo confidently stands in a tight, maroon dress with her long hair down, her hand yanking back on the end of a leash that connects to someone below the panel border. "this IS hot!" she thinks to herself. Fires of desire burn in the background.

Narration: I felt more and more confident to try them out in my real-life relationships, too!

Narration: I found that femdom gives me a sense of power and control, which I don't always get to feel as a woman in a patriarchal world. It's especially fun finding kinky ways to take out some of that frustration!

A montage unfolds, showing Jo in her underwear pinning her boyfriend to the floor. Wearing only his boxers, he has tan skin, short blue hair, and an earring. In another memory she flips him over her knees to spank him through his blue briefs.

Narration: And while this sense of power started out in the sheets and on the page, it transformed into challenging gender norms in other aspects of my life.

The couple now sit on the couch in their comfy PJs.

Narration: ...like asking my partner to do more housework...

"Can you do the dishes?" Jo asks.

"Of course!" He replies.

Narration: ...and pursuing a career in a male-dominated field.

"Actually..." Jo says confidently, holding a clipboard in one hand and gesturing off-panel with her other. She wears a hard hat, safety glasses, and a high visibility vest over her buttoned down work shirt. "...that should go over there."

Narration: As my confidence grew, I got better at taking risks and standing up for myself!

Jo sits in an office, working on her lap top while wearing a smart, buttoned up blazer over a turtleneck shirt. Her big, fancy watch is visible on her wrist as she types with one hand and holds up a report with the other. On her desk is a sign reading, "Sr. Analyst"

Narration: I don't think I would have had the guts to leave my old job where they wouldn't promote me for my new job.

Narration: My self-image improved too.

In her bra and underwear, Jo poses in front of her mirror. Her boyfriend cheers her on and admires her curvy body with faint cellulite marks from their bed in the background.

Narration: Distancing myself from traditional roles helped me focus less on beauty standards. And confident is the sexiest thing you can be!

Back in the bar with their wine glasses drained, a lightbulb lights up next to Jo's friend, who exclaims, "I see!" So while being submissive feels therapeutic for me, what with the juggling of responsibilities and decision-fatigue that I often feel..."

"...being dominant gives me a sense of power and control in my life that helps me get by!" Jo finishes for her. "But hey... getting to turn your brain off definitely sounds nice!"

"You bet!" Her friend agrees, with a friendly elbow nudge against her arm. "And taking charge is probably a great way to blow off some steam too!"
