Taken In Hand accolades“This website is just what I have been looking for for ages--but did not even know it! Have become weary of [other] sites, etc. They never really properly address the psychological components, all the subtleties [...] [A]nyway, thanks so much for existing, I have been telling my friends...hope your website sticks around forever!” “Taken In Hand is male led but male intimately led. ...

That is actually very important to me.” “[I]n Taken In Hand, I am enhancing and extending my power as a woman, and enriching my life and personality. I give up NOTHING, and gain the world.... [M]y perception of Taken In Hand is that there are few other venues that can compare for teaching men the responsible, healthy uses of power. It gives men skills and confidence they can use not just in their sexual relationships, but also with their children, in their professions, and out in the community. Taken In Hand requires a far higher level of courage, sacrifice, responsibility, and personal integrity than many [men] will even think to aspire to.” “Taken In Hand is about having the man in charge because you like it like that, it's not about blind obedience or never having your own way about anything.” “I have referred hundreds of people to [the Taken In Hand] site and have the link on my Yahoo profile.” “First of all, all you guys should check out this website, www.takeninhand.com, very interesting stuff here, check out the Commanding Presence [and] Alpha Males articles, [...] very valuable insights.

For men that want to better understand the whole concept from a women’s point of view, this site is a must read.” “It's a great site.” “If you think my perspective on dating isn't politically correct you should go read Taken In Hand. [It has] posts with titles like, When rape is a gift. You go, girl. Defy those hairy-armpitted feminists and enjoy yourself. :)” “great site.” “There are lots of websites for people in the BDSM, D/s, DD (domestic discipline) and spanking communities. There are websites for people who belong to religions that advocate male-head-of-household marriage. There are even websites for Christians who are interested in BDSM. But there are very few websites for people who are interested in male-led intimate relationships but who are not interested in all that the above communities associate with this kind of relationship (jargon, clothes, etc.) “[Taken In Hand] is really the most beautiful website...” “[Taken In Hand is an] erudite and intelligent site” “[S]ince the day I [discovered Taken In Hand] I have rediscovered my feminity.” “[Taken In Hand is] a necessary read... Very complex, lots of power shifts, combining respect with [control], and pleasure. [...] The whole shebang. I'm glad I found it.” “Taken In Hand... is the name of a website that I discovered less than two years ago and which made a big difference to my life. It made me understand what it was I wanted and helped me to come to terms with my own feelings and gave me the impetus to talk seriously to my husband about our relationship for the first time ever really. The site is about male-led relationships which do not necessarily have to involve spanking. The owner of the site is more interested in other aspects of male control. There are a lot of interesting articles on the site.” “[Taken In Hand is a]n excellent site with many thought-provoking articles and responses.” “[Taken In Hand is] one of the most exciting sites on the internet!” “[T]he whole damn site really is one of the most well articulated (pro/con) loaded blogs I've seen.

I'm just glad I found a site that makes me realize I'm not a freak for wanting [a Taken In Hand relationship]” “I was delighted to receive word of Taken In Hand. ... a very thoughtful and well-written group blog. ... I'm looking forward to reading through this blog the way I look forward to reading a new novel by a favorite author. It looks that good.” “Wow. This site is so amazing.” ““[Taken In Hand is] a wonderful website [...] [I]t's about the interpersonal dynamics of loving relationships where the man is the boss. [I]t's assumed that both partners are in it because that's what they want and have chosen.

Erotic pregnancy and afterwards...When I became pregnant five years ago, my relationship with my husband changed significantly into a Taken In Hand one (though we didn't know about Taken In Hand at that time). He's always been an alpha male, and I'd always been an alpha female, and my pregnancy turned me in to an alpha submissive. Jack was tremendously turned on by having impregnated me, and as my waist thickened and began to disappear, I became increasingly submissive, much to his delight. After the discomfort of the first two months, he insisted that I be sexually available to him whenever he wanted. I found this very erotic. At his behest, we tried many new positions as my belly grew. Jack picked out all of my maternity clothes, and dictated what I would wear and when. He also oversaw my diet, making sure I was eating properly and gaining enough weight to suit him. In my fifth month, Jack presented me with a gold collar necklace with a lock that only he could remove. I would occasionally wonder what had happened to the pushy woman I had once been, but honestly, I was happier than I'd ever been, and my marriage was stronger and more passionate that ever. Something good was happening, and we were/are both thrilled with the change. I was incredibly turned on by Jack's attentions, and loved his admiration of my growing belly and breasts. He was actually delighted to watch as I waddled around the house, wearing just enough to emphasize my new bulk. As far as breastfeeding goes, Jack fully expected to share with our son, and of course I complied. When our son was a year old, Jack suggested that I begin to wean him (our son) from my breast, but Jack himself had no thought of weaning himself, so 4 years later, I'm still his little milk-cow. I'm now a stay at home mom, and I make time in my busy day to use a breast pump once or twice during the day, but my breasts are full and ready for Jack's attentions when he comes home from work. We've managed to keep this aspect of our relationship quiet, but I'm sure my friends from college think my new submissive self is pretty strange. I just smile and wish them the same happiness I've found. Jack's talking about making me pregnant again, and promises that we'll have in-home childcare this time so he and I can spend more 'quality' time together. I can hardly wait.
