>>3882I don't quite understand. You say you feel guilty over your sexuality and then describe a high sex drive combined with submissive fantasies, but what do you feel you have done wrong in feeling the way you do and having the needs you do?
>as a submissive woman you have to wonder how often you play into these power fantasies in real lifeOnly as much as anyone is driven by their psychosexuality in real life, which is to say all the time to one degree or another. Riding that particular tiger is something everyone has to do, man or woman, submissive or dominant.
>I wish I could have a less personal, less rambling, more academic starting off point about how "ah yes female pleasure culturally only seems to matter so far as it serves patriarchy".Why would you want to open like that? Your matter is personal, and reaching for the dehumanising, obfusticating language of academia would only serve to distance you from it. Is that the point?
