[net.women] Sex and Submission

tracy@hcrvx1.UUCP (Tracy Tims) (01/20/85)

I was just thinking back over some of the more noteworthy (fun) sexual
experiences of my life.  Looking back on what we were doing (in general
game terms) it turns out that there is very enjoyable play that involves
playing variously aggressive and submissive roles.  I did it, she did
it, it was fun.  (There was also equal status play as well.)

Since my morality is only based on the heavies like violence and hate, and
not at all on nudity or graphic sex, I have to conclude that it is possible
for erotic films, pictures and books to sometimes depict men and women in
roles of submission and dominance.  It all depends on whether it's a game
or not.

I can't simply condemn the idea of submission in sex.  I've said it before:
healthy people can keep straight the different aspects of a person (sexual,
intellectual, emotional) and never assume that when they encounter one
aspect they are encountering the whole person.  Sick people can twist anything.
