The women want a man…
November 14, 2007 by Angela St. Lawrence
The women want a man whose capacity for communication exceeds his cravings:
- Write sentences, punctuate and capitalize.
- Desire to please in a way that isn’t just a lust to be enslaved.
- Whose sexuality isn’t just a checklist of fetishes.
- Can relate and respond to her without reducing her to a cliche.
All too many men seem to be caught up in:
- Wanting a woman whose desires dovetail perfectly into his. Just as a Maxim reader may come to see a certain breast size as a necessity.
- Have a pathetically rigid idea of what dominant women want.
- Reduce all interaction to the level of a black and white cartoon of carnality.
- Too caught up in ritualistic self-abasement to envisage power exchange as a form of sharing.
This leaves us seeing F/m interaction with the paradigmatic disconnect: women seeking people, men seeking compliant fantasy objects.
