Going Hollywood: Questions about Female Domination and Pop Culture

Screen 2 of 13

However, Hollywood had to take their normal approach to D&S and female domination. They like to incorporate it in some movies because they know that it will draw male viewers, but than they wimp out by approaching it as if it is a mental disorder or sickness. I hate this because movies like this only makes things that much more difficult for submissive顺从 — willing to obey men to introduce this lifestyle to their wives. Women will go to see this movie because of John Travolta, and this image of a mentally disturbed young woman who practiced D&S because she was raped, will stay with them. Then if their husbands try to have a serious discussion about their submissive顺从 — willing to obey desires, there is a good chance some women will throw this movie in their face and accuse their husbands of being "sick". It just makes my job harder. I am hoping that one day, Hollywood will produce a main stream movie about female domination and show the positive side of it. I will not hold my breath, however.

Q. In the movie "Auto Focus" which is now available on video and DVD, they have a scene of FemDom女性支配 — female domination that beautifully describes subspace. I'll paraphrase the scene: after meeting a Dominatrix女支配者 — a dominant woman Bob Crane explains to a friend, "It's like nothing I've ever experienced. You know that feeling you get when you're on a roller coaster? Right as you go over the top? You know as you're headed down your heart jumps to your throat. Imagine that feeling and getting off at the same time. Your heart just goes Thump, thump thump."
