You know, it truly is a matter of personality. Women are different and
men are different. Some women actually are quite submissive by nature
and even thrive from it. Others are the exact opposite. Men are the
same... some are dominant by nature and some are submissive (although
no man would ever admit to being submissive... he would characterize
himself as "compromising" and use the phrase "SWMBO" a lot ;-) So some
men don't have to obey anyone and certainly wouldn't even THINK about
living without regular nookie. Errbody is different... that's what
makes the world interesting.
