Okay, let's talk master-slave........

I hope some female plisters will speak to 
"the really perverse thrill is that Daddy's only five foot two".

P has lifelong thematic uses of, let's call it, non-healthy sex?
With thematic, psychological reasons--in the fiction, yes?

Master-slave is, at least, about power and control---P themes.
About female submission too.

Is this pop-Freudian understanding of smart straight-world Penny
to be taken seriously?   

Is this another bit of P's laying out in this "metaphorically--autobiographical"--my leap--- book, a supposed surrounding real world
event that helped form his vision, particularly the GR he was writing then?

A..and, how like Frenesi is Penny's description of Manson's women?
