agree José Henrique Lamensdorf: To "be" one's own way é o jeito de ser da pessoa. To "have" one's way é fazer o que quiser. To "do" something one's way é fazer alguma coisa do jeito que quer.

I am using slang here. I don't know if it would change the tone terribly! If so, I'm sorry for the suggestion.

...i suppose she would be having her way with me,more than i would be having ... suponho que ela estaria a ter mais prazer comigo, mais do que eu com ela

Explanation:
Have one's way with someone = obter de outrem o que se quer, mas explicitamente: Fazer sexo com alguem. Boa sorte, parece ser uma historia "salgada" ;-)

  -> Não entendo a expressão como especificamente de sentido sexual. To have one's way quer dizer "conseguior o que se pretende"

...i suppose she would be having her way with me,more than i would be having ... Ela estaria sendo mais dominadora que dominada

Explanation:
Aqui se trata da satisfação das vontades pessoais. Ainda que não saiba o contexto exato da frase, pela frase parece dizer respeito a um relacionamento pessoal (íntimo ou não) aonde a mulher mencionada (she) desempenha mais o papel de dirigente da relação.

...i suppose she would be having her way with me,more than i would be having ... Seria então mais [um] caso de ela me seduzir a mim, do que eu a seduzir a ela

Explanation:
Possible interpretation. Instead of seduzir could be levar para a cama. O que melhor se integra no contexto geral.

JFreire: convém distiguir ...

Num contexto \"limpo\" ...
To have one\'s way in a matter, to have it one\'s way, etc.: PREVALECER, não discordo.

Num contexto erótico, pornográfico, etc ...
To have one\'s way with someone: to \"score\", to have sex with, quase sempre to copulate, etc.

Tente por ex. \"have my way with you\" (sic) no Google, e não terá que virar a página para se convencer.
