So few people are 100% okay with their sexuality.

It is not surprising you hear things along those lines over and over again.

Its a thing that people with a lot of responsibility like to take a break from it by being dominated. It makes sense that people who feel the need to seek that kind of power have a self image they would fight to maintain about their status.

I think there is some truth to the idea that "if it is forbidden it is more fun". Maybe some clients of prodommes wouldn't be clients is they fully accepted their desires.

I also wonder if women who get a thrill out of power exchange, get less of a thrill with men who are 100% okay with being submissive towards them. That it would be more interesting to "conquer" a man and "take" his power rather than having it willingly given.
