The World Is Terrified Of A Truly Free Woman

What We've Learned About Genuine Desire—and Why Most People Can’t Handle It 

Why This Conversation Changes Everything

Every man says he wants a wild woman. Every woman says she wants to feel free.

But when the fantasy meets reality, almost no one is prepared for what that actually means.

Because real freedom. especially the freedom of feminine desire, isn’t soft, curated, or convenient. It’s dangerous. It doesn’t care about your rules, your timelines, or your reputation. It will burn down everything false. It will devour every identity you’ve built for approval.

And that terrifies us.

That fear isn’t just personal. It’s cultural. It’s systemic. The entire human race has built itself around containing the truth of feminine freedom. Every rule about what’s “acceptable,” every moral code, every religious construct at its core, it’s about taming what we don’t know how to hold.

Because a free woman is uncontrollable.

And uncontrollable feels like chaos until you understand what that chaos really is: life itself.

Why Real Desire Feels So Dangerous

Dawn and I have been together for 16 years. We’ve been in deep, intentional work for the last five. And it’s only in the past year that she’s begun to reconnect to her deepest desires...the ones buried under decades of programming.

What we’ve learned in that process is this:

A woman’s desire isn’t small. It isn’t reasonable. It isn’t “cute.”

It’s infinite.

It wants more. More beauty, more depth, more sensation, more life. It is a hunger that will not be domesticated.

And that is why most women shut it down.

Because letting that hunger breathe feels like death. And in a way, it is. It destroys everything false: the “good girl” persona, the predictable wife role, the layers of performance that earned her safety and approval.

That’s why most women ration their own soul. They convince themselves they’re “content.” They only let themselves want what they know they can have—because unfulfilled desire feels like failure.

But the truth is, if you only allow yourself to want what feels guaranteed, you will never know freedom. You’ll only ever know control. 

And control is a slow death.

The Hidden Ways Men Sabotage Freedom

Every man says he wants a freak in the bed. Until he falls in love with a woman whose freedom won’t stay inside the box he built.

Here’s the truth most men don’t want to admit:

We don’t want her freedom, we want her performance.

We want her wild… but only in ways that validate us.

We want her open… as long as it doesn’t stretch our ego.

We want her infinite… as long as we can still feel like we own her desire.

When her wanting pushes past what we can control, we clamp down. We punish her by lashing out or collapsing and withdrawing from her. We shame her, and tell her she needs to have more self control. 

Why? Because most of us as men have never severed our dependency on a woman for emotional regulation. We’re still looking for what we didn’t feel we got as boys: safety, softness, a lap to climb into and feel okay. And then we mix sexual desire into that dependency.

So when she threatens the illusion of safety we’ve built by wanting something bigger, by speaking a truth we can’t handle...we react. We withdraw. We collapse. Or we control.

But all of this comes at a cost. You can’t eroticize a woman you’ve domesticated. You can’t ravish a woman you’ve made responsible for your feelings. 

The moment you make her shrink to soothe your fear, you kill the very fire you claim to want.

A Story We Don’t Forget

Several years ago, I was carrying nearly 90 extra pounds. I didn’t like how I looked. And neither did Dawn.

But she didn’t say anything for years because she thought she wasn’t “supposed” to. She thought loving me meant hiding her real desire for me to look better than I did. And I reinforced that by punishing her by absolutely falling apart every time she hinted at what was true: that she didn’t find me attractive like that.

Until the resentment boiled over and she finally spoke. And when she did, I collapsed. I made her desire about me, about my worth.

I told myself I wanted her honesty. The truth is, I wanted her honesty only when it made me feel good.

That’s what most men do.

We say we want the truth, but we can’t hold it without turning it into a verdict on our value. And when we punish a woman for wanting more, she learns that her hunger isn’t safe. That her bigness will cost her love. So she shuts down.

And then we wonder why the passion is gone.

The answer isn’t complicated. When you teach a woman it’s not safe to want, you kill her desire for life. 

Freedom Will Cost You Everything (And It’s Worth It)

Freedom isn’t free.

If you choose the path of freedom, something in you has to die.

For women, the cost is every identity that kept you small:

• The good girl image.

• The comfort of being pleasing and predictable.

• The security of everyone approving of you.

For men, the cost is your ego:

• The illusion of control.

• The comfort of being her center of gravity.

• The belief that her desire belongs to you.

That’s why most people talk about freedom but never live it. 

Because the alternative feels safer: decorate the cage, call it contentment, call it morality or "biological relating" call it “being realistic.” Post the kissy selfies on Instagram while you die inside.

But the cost of that path? Slow suffocation. You can either die to your false self in a clean fire or die slowly in the comfort of your own cage. 

The Two Paths 

There are only two:

1. The Cage. Safety, predictability, approval at the cost of your soul.

2. The Fire. Truth, desire, expansion at the cost of your ego.

One looks good to everyone else. The other feels like oxygen in your lungs.

Most people will choose the cage. This is exactly what draws most people to Dom/sub dynamics. They think it's a way that they can finally get a grasp on reality and make it fit their preferences and expectations. 

But if that's all it ever is, and it isn't bringing you to more freedom, it will always collapse on itself. 

A few will choose the fire. To pursue freedom and abundance and life at any cost. 

And once you taste the fire, you’ll never go back. Because nothing else will ever be enough.

The Invitation

We only get one shot at this life.

Most people waste it trying to look good in a life they secretly resent. Trying to stay safe inside a cage they built themselves. Trying to convince themselves that control is love.

But control will never give you intimacy. It will never give you the passion you want. It will never give you aliveness. 

So here’s the question you can’t avoid:

Will you pay the price of freedom or will you decorate the cage and call it love? 

Because in the end, we’re all going to die. And the only question that will matter is:

Did I hold anything back?
