DARK PRINCESS
14% of Americans
The Lowdown: You like a sensual, passionate encounter that can be rough, but not painful: light choking, spanking, or manhandling just to remind you of your vulnerability.
The Partner’s Job: When you are with a Dark Princess, your job is to bring an animalistic passion that is equal parts sensual and rough. This will ask you to begin with royal treatment, but escalate to dark intensity.

* We also recorded data from Americans who identified as pansexual, asexual, and (separately) nonbinary, but each of these identifications was so small as to be less than half of our margin of error, so we’re not including this data due to the potential for misrepresenting their views.

What DARK PRINCESSEs fantasize about:
“We take one last glance into each other's eyes before he finally reaches his hand down to my thigh and squeezes it hard — not too hard, but just right. Slowly moving higher and higher while his face gets closer and closer to mine. Almost like he’s teasing me with his eyes and my anticipation. He moves his other hand to my throat, holding his thumb in the right spot on my neck and pressing in to create a choking sensation that does not restrict my breathing. God, he’s so perfect. He reminds me that I’m vulnerable and resilient all at once.”
- Dark Princess, to us (25, Woman, Heterosexual)
“I'm led into a bedroom with purple string lights casting shadows. My husband is walking in behind me, a hand lightly caressing my back. When I get by the bed though, he shoves me onto it, face down, and tells me to crawl up towards the headboard. We have straps beneath the mattress, and my wrists are quickly bound. He bites at my shoulder. My dress gets hiked up and my underwear are pulled down. I'm on my knees with my head on the pillow. He caresses my ass before lightly spanking me. When he enters me, his hand goes around my throat and pulls me upward. He bites at my neck as I come undone.”
- Dark Princess, to us (30, Woman, Pansexual)
“He runs his fingers down my thighs and teases me with every caress as he lays me down on the bed. He kisses up and down my breasts and every breath makes me beg for more. As he reaches for the handcuffs and kisses my neck as he cuffs my hands to the bed and begins to ram his big shaft into me. He pulls my hair and tells me to ask for more. Harder I beg and he goes harder.”

Coaching from dark princesses
• Dominate your partner, but give princess treatment • Balance roughness/aggression with affection • Bring a passionate intensity •
"Watchouts would be getting too rough or degrading me wrong. Like ‘daddy’ stuff or spanking too hard or in the wrong spot. I have chronic pain and MS so my enjoyment in writing and visuals like porn vs. what I can actually enjoy these days is vastly different. And sometimes my husband gets that wrong.”
- Dark Princess, to us (30, Woman, Pansexual)
“I want to be ‘ruled’ but also treated like a princess whose pleasure is important.”
- Dark Princess, to us (46, Woman, Heterosexual)
“Kiss me like you can't live without me and you're struggling to hold yourself back from the strength of your emotions, but fuck me like we just met at the bar and we're having hate sex.”
- Dark Princess, to us (30, Woman, Pansexual)
