In current times submission, sadomasochism and fetishism are concepts largely widespread in public opinion and present in every media with respect to what happened some years ago. Fashion and arts are very inspired by these "practices". People speak currently about these things shameless though sure not all practice them. Also the burlesque is nowadays something that is not ashamed for girls and women doing it.
Newsweek, the famous American weekly, give another "proof" of this phenomenon awarding a cover to Women submission fantasies: the cover is related to the article written by Katie Roiphe available in the site The Daily Beast. The article underlines how currently sexual domination of men over women is in vogue. Precisely referred to working or career women.
This thing may seem counterintuitive because career women are tipically self - confident, resolute, fully graduated and economically indipendent (of men). Indeed, using SM categories, career women seem be related more to Mistresses than Slaves. But Mrs Roiphe's "thesis" offers a different vision of that mentioning several elements supporting it.
Mrs Roiphe begins citing the bestseller "Fifty Shades of Grey" wondering how many women brought this book where the protagonist introduces the young eroine, Anastasia, to sadomasochistic practices as spanking. The article cites also the book "Richer Sex" and HBO's new serie "Girls" as examples of the women fantasies of submission. Not only.

Mrs Roiphe cited also an analysis of 20 studies published in Psychology Today estimating that between 31 percent and 57 percent of women have fantasies where they are forced to have sex. These elements bring the authoress to make some questions about these women's desires conflicting with present conditions of emancipation of women.
The question "But why, for women especially, would free will be a burden?" is exemplary. But Mrs Roiphe assumes that sexual domination for women can be represent a "release, a vacation, an escape from the dreariness and hard work of equality" quoting many people's statement supporting this idea. Sure this article will provoke more discussion!
I find more interesting Mrs Roiphe's considerations because her words confirm some my personal experiences with career women and with girls and "other" women in general. For example years ago a girl had confessed me "For a girl to be submissive in sexual contest is natural: the woman likes to be an object of course not of everyone".
Today, years after, I agree absolutely with that statement. Indeed other times I experienced sexual games of submission with other women and girls who like to be submissive. Sure every women prefers times and different ways but each of them like when the man decide the rules and lead the game. Someone can misunderstand my words so these need an explanation.
I dont speak about violence against women or not safe practices but about safe "games" between a man and a woman both conscious of what they are doing. It's appropriate to remember also there are women like to be dominant and women dont like this games: but in my experience the majority of women like to be submissive.
My preferences for this games are not a sexual discrimination against women but only a special way to make sex more spicy than normal. Spanking and safe bondage of wrists or ankles with a blindfold are the best "items" preferred by my female sexual partners.
