Examples

“These roles extended into the bedroom, where the butch would initiate and give⟳ sexual pleasure and the femme would play⟳ “pillow princess” and receive⟳ — never the other way around [...]”

“Similarly, whereas pillow princesses and other femmes appear⟳ to fall⟳ in line with heterosexual conceptualizations of sexual roles for women, where the woman’s role is the passive and non-assertive partner, they represent⟳ radical departures in other respects. In particular, participants indicated that ultra femmes and pillow princesses fully expected that the sexual act ended with their sexual climax.”

“Also, just because a respondent identified as femme did not mean⟳ she was not involved in or interested in a reciprocal sexual relationship. Many femmes made sure to point⟳ out they were not “pillow princesses,” meaning they are not just receivers. “My current girlfriend is very masculine looking, but I am far more aggressive than her in the bedroom, I don’t know⟳ if I can say⟳ this …but, well, I am no “pillow princess” (Sara).”

“A soft fem may also be referred to as a “pillow princess”. The pillow princess expects to be catered to in bed and while she may demand⟳ oral sex, does not feel⟳ compelled to perform⟳ it on her partner.”
