Also, of note, many of the female subs I know are more into equally female Dommes. I have to say, although I'm not a sub in this relationship or necessarily by nature, the few people who have filled me with an urge to make my knees connect with the floor, have been Dominant women. They exude a power and a presence that makes the guys look...almost laughably pretentious. Midori, for instance. Wow! She's really somethin', especially in person.

I can't imagine anyone who actually has a presence in the community spouting this kind of nonsense and being taken seriously at all.

I do know this. A hen will not mate with a rooster she can peck.

I like that my husband is dominant. It gives me a secure feeling, although I have equal rule in this house. This has nothing to do with sex games, by the way.

I find it interesting as one's sexual desire ultimately plays out one's deepest fantasies. Here is to an extreme level, but the psychology at play is the same.

I believe the vast majority of women ultimately desire a submissive role, even if they don't admit to it. Recent society pushes women into career mode, which I never believe was intended to begin with.

So now we see a rise of these subcultures such as the BDSM.

Ultimately from a relationship perspective, women want the "Alpha" male subconsciously, even if they try and play it off like they don't to preserve image.

So dating advice for the gents lol... Don't be a Beta.. trying to be all the girl's best friend in hopes to establish a relationship.. etc...

Not into BDSM btw.. a little too much for me.. Although I do enjoy the dominant role
I believe this for the most part, especially when it comes to dating.

So, just 52% of MEN prefer to be dominant? THAT is the most telling part of this. Gender roles are simply not as clearly defined as they once were, giving men and women more space to be what they want and pursue those that complement them. This will likely only increase over time as more people find they like to be dominant in some situations and prefer not to dominate in others....great - flexibility!

As titillating as it is for you, your gender role does not automatically and directly translate into BDSM roles - soooorrrrrrryyyyyy! So yeah, the rest of what you wrote is just bogus desires on your part, not something most people experience.

"Tough, domineering people would seem to prefer the dominant role, while those who are more tender and willing to please naturally fit into the submissive role."

Seems to make sense. A sexually dominant man is fine - even desirable, but pain and humiliation being involved is a huge turnoff. A person can be dominant without being a sadist and their partner can be submissive with being a masochist.

I admit I stopped reading the article as soon as I saw it was about bondage and sadomachism. I thought the discussion was about life in general.

"I'm letting him be dominant."

Of course, I'm somewhat blurring the lines between a meaningful relationship & a sexual encounter. I would likely never engage in a relationship with someone who was a dictator & I doubt they would have much use for me either.

I'm feminine. And submissive. Yet I'm told by every single man I've ever been in an LTR with that I provoke them the way a man would. Since I'm not a man; I can't really explain this in an articulate manner. It's just been very consistent feedback.

Just sitting here at the computer & imagining myself in a relationship with a dictator; is oddly inspiring feelings of ... contempt.

Sexually is a completely different scenario. Ironically, the other consistent feedback has been that I separate sex & love "like a man". I sort of get that but based on what I've seen? Men really aren't all that good at it.

"Powerless", sexually speaking, to me; means that I don't get what I want. If I enjoy being submissive, then I get what I want via submission. There is a vast market out there for women who enjoy being sexually dominant. You'd probably be very surprised at how popular that is & who the men are that seek that out & there is no real motivation for me to feel like I have no choice in the matter.

I just don't like it. I don't enjoy telling a guy to drop to his knees while calling him my *****(b-word)". How does that = powerless?

Sounds like semantics - he is dominant but you have equal rule? Just how IS he dominant since you're quick to say it isn't related to sex?

And why don't you take the time and use succinct English in an attempt to explain to all of us what "we, as females" , were "made to be"?

I am not a card carrying feminist, but I am pragmatic to the core. Men and women,were created equal but different, with the difference being rather noticeable.

Your job here on Earth has a linear value. You are born, you are to mature and procreate the next generation, raise them sucessfully while supporting yourself and family. Be a good member of society. We all contribute thru various means and channels. Along the way, you enjoy life and hopefully learn a lot of respect and dignity for self and others along the way.

Not all of us bear and raise children for various reasons, but we are all able to produce the "children of our minds" through various good deeds and accomplishments.

So tell us how this article is the absolute truth for ALL females? No, you cannot. So take comfort in the fact that women have many options in the current year.....and one of those is NOT wearing pink p*$$y hats and holding political marches, voicing discontent about how the male of the species is evil and controlling and have tried to hold all the little ladies back.

Because, guess what? The powers that be want to cause more fighting between the sexes, silly goose!

I agree with most if what you posted. But I do think you misunderstand why women have marched recently. To the best of my knowlege the marches have been directed against disrespect of women, not against men. The second major march a year later was more of a reponse to widespread sexual abuse. We are now seeing how widespread this practice is, and how well hidden it has been. Most women do not hate men. Most of us love men, and we are happy to be loved by men. But no woman should be disrespected.

Remember that ***** hats are a direct reference to what our president said several years ago about grabbing women by the (you know).
