My guess is that many are people with great strength, great intellect and in some cases, great power. I wonder when society will catch up with it's understanding.SirQsmlbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17862547894051224264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4206921878675382500.post-87777838210317379492012-10-12T19:08:59.531-04:002012-10-12T19:08:59.531-04:00aisha,

I simply was going off of the article...<br />My Sir (who is NEITHER less than nor feminine) and I spent more then 15 years as switches, so I COMPLETELY AGREE. I do follow and comment periodically on Ms. Constance Explains and lover her blog - as I follow, love and comment on yours as well. <br />SirQsmlbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17862547894051224264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4206921878675382500.post-38315939414804162392012-10-12T19:05:17.911-04:002012-10-12T19:05:17.911-04:00I agree - though true data may be hard to come by ...I agree - though true data may be hard to come by because of this ridiculous politically correct stigma. Oh well...I'm sticking with the bodice-rippers, panty-rippers, hmmmmm.SirQsmlbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17862547894051224264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4206921878675382500.post-1622310847410227402012-10-12T14:52:12.923-04:002012-10-12T14:52:12.923-04:00Hi, SirQsmlb!

Welcome to the blogospere!<br />Imagine that i've sent balloons and champagne!!<br /><br />Interesting post - lots to think about. For sure, i agree that being submissive doesn't make us less in any way. Plus, keep in mind that dominance and submission in BDSM are not gender based. If you forget that, even for a minute, go read Ms. Constance Explains, right? Slave Drew is very masculine, and very much her slave. So that's a whole other layer of complexity.<br /><br />:-) <br /><br />hugs,<br /><br />aishaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4206921878675382500.post-5699566893748953072012-10-12T06:16:28.440-04:002012-10-12T06:16:28.440-04:00Agree wholeheartedly, mlb, and I believe my wife, ...Agree wholeheartedly, mlb, and I believe my wife, Joy, would agree even more strongly than I do. And I question whether the premise of the article you reference is real, or whether it's simply political correctness. My own opinion (based on an admittedly small sample) is that given two different romance novels, one a "bodice-ripper" and the other a "new-and-improved, modern" romance novel, most women would prefer the bodice-ripper. It would be interesting if someone actually did a study to compare that. There's a doctoral thesis topic for any budding Psychology PHD out there!Jakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10570138984171327673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4206921878675382500.post-16551296703076336692012-10-11T16:53:06.609-04:002012-10-11T16:53:06.609-04:00Interesting post.

I think whats happened is that in todays society women have more expectations put upon them, we have fought (and rightly so) for equality with men, we can hold down the full time job as well as raise a family, we have control over our lives, we are strong, independent women.<br /><br />So now to be seen as wanting anything less is just not acceptable, the irony being that as you said it generally does take a strong, self confident women to submit and being submissive does not equate to being weak, i have a full time job, have 2 children and am in a tpe relationship...weak? i think not.<br /><br />The bottom line is simply that i dont think society today can comprehend the idea of a woman actually choosing to submit, there is a lack of understanding of what being submissive means, all too often its equated with being 'less than' when i argue it makes me 'more'.<br /><br />torihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06358391889176400481noreply@blogger.com
