well, Peg Bundy used to say about her ambitions: "I want to be
nothing. I want to do nothing."
which is all that is left when a man so thoroughly takes over...
a-and, in the movie Crumb, one of his ladyfriends said sex with him was just the
opposite: it was all about HER, him making her feel awesome and him reveling
in her beauty - never the other way
I suppose healthy would be some of both and a nice melding in the middle...
me, I'm more of a Crumb-type lover meself...not boasting, all that
reveling can wear a girl out I suspect...
In (William Gibson's) _Pattern Recognition_ I think Bigend's
described as a "Lombard" -
lots of money but a real dickhead -
it's all about HIM, his power, his money, his ability to jump queues
and get tables without a reservation, his strength and stamina in bed...
(ok, that was a bit of discussion - I'm rather low on ideas and stuff
right now...
although starting to feel a little more lively...)
