Yes, as it was intended to. You see, oh superior male, our feeble female minds respond quite well to an "I hear you" followed with an "how about trying this".
What our feeble female minds don't respond well at all to is being called "children", or "toddlers running with scissors". Tends to shut us down completely, in fact.
You'll never get any woman to listen to you if she doesn't feel heard.
Then I suppose it was a very good thing I got indignant on behalf of LFL and yelled and screamed foul to his child/toddler comparisons (which only Mojo has referred to herself as, btw, and has NEVER called anyone else), or you all wouldn't be calling him genius right about now, would you?
I think I'll change my sig line... "Behind every genius (eyefckingroll) man, is a WOMAN."
I would just like to add the note that I think most people have submissive AND dominant fantasies but have tendencies towards one or the other that vary with state of mind, tendencies of partner sexually to manifest one way or the other sexually and non-sexually, experience, cultural training, FOO, ovulation cycle, how long since last orgasm etc. etc.
I'll give one good and kind of funny example. I generally tend towards submissive fantasies, like most women, but when GP told me in a casual conversation on sexuality that one of his old GF's told him that she liked being spanked my immediate thought was "Is she insane!" because GP vibed so over-the-top dominant that seemed to me the equivalent of play cat-and-mouse with a giant panther.
Another point that I would make based on what I said above is that the other way to possible transcend the fact that LFL and her H are both vibing submissive, if that is the problem, is what I was basically suggesting in terms of being more "strong bunny". For instance, the art of the geisha girl was largely the art of being strong bunny which was largely the art of "making" a guy feel more dominant or stereotypically masculine. So, you can kind of pick and choose between overcoming your feminine tendency towards being more turned on by submissive fantasies or overcoming you feminist tendency towards not being a freaking geisha girl. Either might work as one might readily ascertain from a quick perusal of the boy's literature section at your local liquor store. Of course, there's always the third option of inviting one of your girlfriends over for a slumber party after you go out Friday night (sigh, I don't necessarily recommend. I think Jane Fonda wrote a sad chapter in her memoir about that sort of thing)
