The silence in which you lose power
Sometimes words aren't necessary. A glance, just a little longer than usual... and a man no longer understands who is in control. Silence is my favorite tool. It reveals what men usually hide: insecurity, passion, the desire to prove themselves. In that pause between words, a game is born. He looks for a reaction, and I revel in his confusion.
Men can't stand silence. They need to respond, justify themselves, restore balance. But when you know how to be calmly silent, you master the moment. Power isn't in shouting, but in the pause after which he doesn't know what you'll think... or what you'll do. And yes, there's eroticism in that, because desire is always born in ambiguity.
