Taken In Hand accolades“[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 pain, and pleasure. Domination roles. Submissive roles. 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 male led but male intimately led. ... I do like the Taken In Hand focus on family and the focus that marriage is between one man and one woman. 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 so-called ‘doms’ 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 feel the best spanking site is Taken in Hand. I have referred hundreds of people to that 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. [...] I'm taken by this site.” “[U]ntil 2 days ago I thought I was a crazy, ... abnormal “I enjoyed [Taken In Hand] very much and I recommend that everyone here visits it.” “Taken In Hand is serious about the nature of male-female relationships, dominance, submission (not the leather-and-stud kind), in way I find exhilarating, honest, refreshing, courageous, and exciting.” “Taken In Hand: Fascinating BDSM blog that deals with difficult and hot topics!” “The Taken in Hand website has proven to be a valuable source for intelligent and well thought out articles exploring [male-led relationships]. [...] For women who have longed for a relationship such as this and have no idea where to start, this is a great site for you. 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 devoted to DD.” “[Taken In Hand] is my major kink” “[Taken In Hand is an] erudite and intelligent 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. It provides a cross section of how people are feeling out there even amongst those who are ‘seemingly’ natural allies.” “As I view it, I'm a control freak. I love to be in control. However, I fantasize about that control being stripped from me and handed over to someone else....namely, my husband. I'm just glad I found a site that makes me realize I'm not a freak for wanting to be dominated” “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 ... from a MaleDom/femsub perspective ... [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. Also, unlike many other ‘traditional marriage’ sites, it's not coming from any sort of biblical perspective. ... Some of the best writing I've seen on these topics, from a variety of authors.” “[Taken In Hand is] a brill resource.... for info articles... and real life experiences” “A very cool site” “Thank you for providing such a positive, validating place for like-minded people to talk about this in a way that affirms the dignity of both men and women” “a great site” “an exremely high quality site...

It has been a while since I have read a website that was ‘different’ than most.” “GREAT site” “Website of the Month” Other |
I say castrate weak males!I get tired of all the patient 'belles of the balls' and I get tired most of all of these weak 'men' (victims of fear and gluttony, who are fond of sporting plastic feathers and enamored of plastic whistles not to mention cheap pieces of paper). I say that it is my duty to castrate the weak males and that I can be what a good Taken In Hand woman really is, and that is a teacher. And I can serve as the royal castrator since I am the Empress. A good woman is a fire dancer and she teaches her man the ardent joys of the flesh through power and honor. While we have achieved legal liberty we must remember what we are and what we are capable of. We must remember what we were as women and we must put aside the comical caricatures of the servant gathering wheat while the ape man clubs her over the head and drags her to the cave as she shivers with delight relieved that someone will protect her or she and her children will die. Now she feels safe even though she has chronic migraines. He-man will squirt out an alpha male and we will have a race that we now call human. Hysterical. We women were never this and the historical rendering and misrepresentation of facts reminds me of when they reconstructed the dinosaur at the museum that had his toe attached to his nose for 50 years before anyone realized it was an error. The lexicon of Taken In Hand women is vast and fertile. To be a Taken In Hand woman is to be a sin eater, a snake, a predator that opens her mouth wide inspiring great terror while she meticulously devours her man as she undulates and digests his sins whole. A Taken In Hand women is a foreboding woman. A great warrior will allow himself to be fearlessly eaten in this way, and when he is inside his queen he will know the succor of his own surrender while he is boldly enfolded in a compassion that is so vast it is capable of drinking from his fountains of terror and pain, delivering him to a level of intimacy that ensures him of her unmatched bravery and fealty: she has been brave enough to trace the path of his soul into his journeys through heaven and through hell. Within her he will rest with might. She will gain the knowledge of his path of power and it will become hers and in this way, she as a woman is a multiple of daunting power. Once can turn the notch on the control dial and in the right time and place on this planet earth it is possible that a Taken In Hand woman at the movement of her complete surrender will become what no one here has metionioned; not a docile little sprite but feral, aggressive, ruthless, a brutal mentor of the wrath. A great man can command her so deeply that he can rearrange her chemistry and create an iron maiden of war. If he is a master at this art he will create a vessel that is untamable, a vessel that will be obeyed by an army, a goddess of terrible might. He will give her the breath of fire and men will tremble and quake when they witness the might of a woman who has become a vessel of war through the bonds of ecstasy and love. The woman that surrenders to an impeccable warrior becomes a ship that can navigate dark and unknown waters with her complex and symphonic ability to synchronize. She will carry him to unchartered ground and she will pioneer the new lands and it will be her flesh that is the amour or many. A Taken In Hand woman is like a blade of grass that bends during a hurricane. She is elastic and when the wind calms she alone stands with emerald blade, a scythe, and the scythe of justice, a sharp blade of humility that shears weak hubris and sculpts a majestic topiary in her commandment of paradise. Surrendering to a weak man will make him weaker. It will get you hot and it will get you off and that might be what you want. You may want to live in the virtual world the digital world of warlords and masters that can be purchased at the computer store. What if the real war knocks on the door? What if death comes knocking? Will you look in the eye of dust and ashes? Who will be brave enough to endure the mirror of frailty? . On this site I have read literature that far surpasses the feminist literature available. A great book is a book of motion and here we have a book of motion and one vision with many pens however this error of encouraging dominance with a prophylactic but subverting the path a man must take to dominance is as dangerous as allowing doctors to practice without a license. To many this gentle encouragement seems to be the only plausible and kind path but many in our time have died from 'kindness'. I believe that this is practiced because there is no longer a belief in the existence of angels and superheroes. It is a modern world of the banal and men at this point in time have no venue and no path of honor. There privilege is their enemy. The greater privilege that is not announced by the propaganda machine is the privilege of being born in a time and place of travail. From this travail once can become free. The first man that loved my flesh was an archangel. While I was born in travail and terror I have been lucky enough to know super souls. The super souls were forged and backed in a hard clay of humility and I am one of the truly privileged to have known so many of them. My sweetest love gave me sanctuary under his wings of white resplendent light. He was a middle child of a large family. Their eldest daughter, his sister was born sick. While they already endured the simplicity of poverty, keeping this girl alive manacled their fortunes to a great degree. They struggled so that she should survive and when she turned 18 she was shot down in the street like a common dog. This could have destroyed this family but instead it turned them into angels and it turned my beloved into an archangel. Brutal rape (not date rape) was an epidemic and the women suffered horrifically in our neighborhood. My beloved archangel became the neighborhood vigilantly and he became a very young man of power and he became a man who delivered peace. One common man delivered peace to the warring gangs and stayed the rapists and thugs that were the common residents. He was known and commanded respected from every rogue, even from opposing gangs and this respect was won with his flesh in battle. He never sought battles but he vowed that no woman should be harmed in his neighborhood. This vow was carved deep in his heart and nothing would thwart what he believed was his mission. I believe he was a super soul. I sometimes think of silly chickens like Camille Paglia and their childish rhetoric and I see my sweet archangel standing guard humbly and silently and I know that if the vainglorious clown walked into the neighborhood my sweet archangel would give her passage and pay the price with his flesh. And she would laugh and mock him for he was less than a pig farmer. He had never slept in a bed his entire life. She could have mocked him day and night and he would not have been perturbed nor swayed, for he knew what he was and what he was meant to do and because he knew this he knew deep joy. I told him that he should find a way to receive credit for his deeds and money as well. That day he looked at me as if I were insane! Credit? My suggestions were a profanity to him. I was far worse off than his family so when it was Christmas these good people invited me to their shanty and they gave me the same gift they gave all their children. It was a sum of money that was ridiculously large for these people. I was illuminated. I worshiped my archangel and I revered him and adored him and I will continue to do so until the end of my days. As time past my destiny caught up with us. There was no escaping the darkness ahead for me. I knew my archangel would lay down his life for me so I went on without him. I defended him with this act and I spared him. He could not have helped me and I knew I had to journey alone. In the belly of hell I met great men of war who were monsters and heroes and who trained me in the extreme arts of war. When I meet weak men (weakness = vanity, hubris and fear) it is my duty to emasculate them in honor of my sweet loves, and if they are tacky enough to impose themselves and unaware to such an extent that they step into their own noose, I am obliged to asphyxiate them with their own desires and I let them taste the terror and the beauty that I have eaten and that was both mine and that of my loves and it is the complete ecstasy and freedom that I have known which cause these pitiful souls to soil themselves. The chain appears easier then the freedom of solidarity, and might is so alien that it represents terror. To encourage males to lead when they won no metals of honor is to enable them to be prisoners of an ego that is out of order and it is this ego, my friends that has kept humanity and women as chattel.
