Now if I had a daughter and she wanted her husband to take her name and she asked my opinion, I would probably encourage her to follow through with her dominant wishes. I believe the day is coming when more women are going to demand this out of their husbands. We are headed toward a Matriarch society. We are not there yet, and therefore we can't ignore how our actions will effect and maybe even hurt our parents.

As I always stress, the female domination lifestyle is a private matter between two consenting adults. We will save ourselves a lot of stress and conflict by keeping it a private matter.

Q. Elise, since you are a Psychologist, I was wondering. What do you think about S&M? I know that you are into D&S and B&D, but how do you feel about people who actually enjoy giving or receiving pain? Isn't this abnormal and unnatural?

A. Believe it or not, most S&M is played out in the mind and not on the body. Now there are people who practice bizarre lifestyles and who are into inflicting serious pain on others. In my professional opinion, these people are sick and they need help.

However, society seems to group a lot of well-grounded people into the same category with these people. That's unfortunate because what most of the world views as S&M is really nothing more than advance D&S.
