To the anonymous poster from June: You feel as if men are hell bent on dominating women with the perceived power of their genitals. I'm not sure what "hell bent" means, but I could guess it means strongly motivated. However, for the sake of keeping the discussion on the knowable, I will remove it and re-phrase: You feel as if men want to dominate women with the perceived power of their genitals. Whose perceived power are you referring to? I cannot tell if you mean the male or the females perception, or "both". I will remove it and rephrase: You feel as if men want to dominate women with the power of their genitals. I assume you mean sexual pleasure giving power of their genitals, since they, "meaning the males genitals", have no other means to impart influence over women. It is possible you mean social power, but that would be outside the scope of this discussion. Outside of rape I see no power that one person could exercise over another with their genitals directly. Rape is also outside the scope of this discussion, since rape is known to not be about sex or sexual addiction, but direct power of another human being. Rapists almost always present with a psychopathology. They are usually sexual sadists. However, I digress, It appears that you are implying that sexual fantasy and pornography go hand in hand and that it is the driving desire to dominate women with the power of their genitals that is causal to both the fantasy and use of pornography to enjoy this fantasy. If this interpretation of what you have said is true, then it is also true that all men in general wish to dominate the opposite sex, sexually, without regard to the actual sexual attraction felt, personal sexual orientation, feelings of affection, or natural inherent desire to have sex. It further supposes that feelings of sexual dominance is something that is abnormal in men. Also, it ignores the fact that there are dominant women and women who are clinical sexual addicts and addicted to pornography. The degrees to which these thing occur in women are currently outside the reasoning process. The purpose of this note is to urge others to hold themselves to a much higher standard of thought when speaking about things they are passionate about.
