Well, thank you for the response. If I don't respond right away, it's because I only use this board at work and I guess I should do something for the princely salary they pay me.

Yes I am sure that makes you mad and I think that is b/c you can't believe people like that deserve that adoration

No I don't mean people like that don't deserve adoration; I mean the domination/submission syndrome doesn't deserve adoration. I have fought with this all my live ("You're supposed to be the macho man; you're supposed to be making the big bucks; you're supposed to drive the pickup truck and fight with other guys in the honky-tonks to prove your manhood; you need to be the football hero" - "This will attract the girls to you"). I don't believe you can isolate things and say, OK, I'll only be submissive a little bit in bed and then everything else won't be like that. This domination/submissive syndrome has a life of its own; so if you use it in what part of your life, I believe you will tend to want to expand it in other areas.
