Different Loving or Perversion? Questions about D&S, B&D and S&M

Screen 6 of 37

Q. Elise, my husband and I rented "The General's Daughter" the other night and we were surprised that there was a D&S scene that showed the general's daughter sexually dominating a man on a video tape. However, we were disappointed that the movie implied that the reason she was into this lifestyle was because she had been a rape victim and that she liked to dominate men to get back at them. Did you see this movie and if so, what did you think about it?

A. Yes, I saw The General's Daughter. Anytime a movie comes along that has any kind of Female Domination scenes in them, I usually find out from my clients. Men are always quick to tell me about them. I debated about whether to see this movie or not, as I abhor any movies that are violent, especially against women.

However, since two of my favorite male actors were in this movie, John Travolta and James Woods, I decided to go see it. I should have stuck to my original feeling, and stayed home. It wasn't a very good movie. I had hope for it at first. The general's daughter was a natural Dominant. She excelled in a male's organization (the military), she was a tom-boy and athletic, she was intelligent, bright, and beautiful.

I would imagine such a woman would have scored very high on the Dominant Female analysis. The video scenes where she was dominating a hooded submissive顺从 — willing to obey seemed perfectly legitimate to me. I would imagine D&S is quite popular in the military, especially with women officers in the military.
