Anonymous(25-29)+1 yOh boy, let me explain, I definitely have this problem more so than other guys. First of all, it's primal and it makes guys feel needed. I'm pretty protective. Part of my sense of identity is being physically strong and emotionally stable, I wouldn't have it any other way. And in bed, it's just a kink, no good explanation. The way I see it is guys have the advantage of testosterone and are naturally bigger. So it's sort of like I need to feel like I'm not failing in an area where I have an advantage. Ultimately though, I don't want a "submissive" woman, I just wants a woman who appreciates that I'm stronger and that maybe it's a good idea if I don't let her walk alone out in the dark. Like all I need for her, is to entertain a few small things like that so I don't need to worry so much about her. Otherwise I prefer an equal relationship with equal power. For example, I'd like her to argue with me if she thinks I'm wrong about something. I'm very into ethics, politics, and societal issues and I'd want her to agree with me because she genuinely agrees with me, not because I'm the man. That would suck, and I would not be able to be with a girl like that.

Yep, there's a reason songs talk about guys wrapping their arms around their woman all the time and not the other way around. It's just primal and I have the whole dom complex real bad and I have to try to suppress it a bit, my best friend though is not at all like that with his girlfriend.

Previous research suggests that social norms promote deference to men, and this extends to intimate relationships. This message is constantly repeated by the media in magazines, television and movies that "commonly display male sexual dominance over women and female sexual submission to men," the paper states.
In a follow-up study, researchers asked the women a series of questions to gauge the impact of submissive behavior on arousal.
"The more women reported engaging in submissive behaviors, the less arousal they reported experiencing from a range of sexual activities. The problem with submissive behavior seems to be that women don't experience these behaviors as authentic expressions of their selves. Submission to their partner's desires appears to undermine their ability to assert themselves within the sexual context," Kiefer said. "I would say it's really important to recognize the fact that women associate their personal submission with sex, and this association seems to be detrimental to their sexual health."
some girls like dominant men, but submission should be earned.

1 yIt's social conditioning, this is a fact backed up by science. All their lives men are raised and told via the media and relgions that they should be in control and dominant. Then us women are told the opposite, to be submissive and that we are weaker mentally, emotionally and physically. It's all crap made by a patriarchal society enforced by patriarchal laws and relgions to have control over a womans body because in reality women hold the key to how humans genetically are. Convincing a woman that she is weaker and needs some dude 6 inches taller than her effects the gene pool and women's health in a negative way. Women are at risk for osteoporosis, losing muscle mass and not gaining as much muscle mass as men due to how society has treated them. Historically they have had access to less food and work that would close the gender gap more or completely. In the media, news, porn and movies, women are often dipicted as not being able to take care of themselves and as sexaully more submissive than men. This has resulted in massive depression issues for women that effect their libido. Studies saying men want sex more than women are also flawed, women are often shown in degrading positions doing acts that don't give them much sexual gratification or lets them assert their needs. This definitely contributes to sex studies that use porn and then women don't test as high as men. To say it's biological is simply not true, when a guy watches these acts of dominance in a sexual way towards an attractive woman then he is being socially conditioned to get sexually aroused via degradation and violence towards women. This has an effect on women who watch porn as well, they imagine themselves as the attractive desirable woman because they want to be wanted. This then screws with thr woman's mind and they tend to engage in more submissive behavior. Scientific studies have revealed that this sort of behavior isn't always beneficial for the woman and many women find it unsatisfactory.
Gender roles destroy lives and they have destroyed mine, I went through hell in the military simply because I was female. Those assholes couldn't stand an assertive woman who was as good as them. This is all learned behavior and isn't primal, early society was more egalitarian until patriarchal religions were established to control a womans body to control the offspring.
Moral of the story: not all women want to be submissive, women are still discriminated against for being dominant. Also: dominant means you're in charge of your orgasm and your partner... It's NOT all about the man ans what he wants; that's just abusive.
