I agree. The remark was intended to be taken metaphorically rather than literally. I put "lifestylers" in quotes because I consider it an imprecise term. I'm painting with a broad brush here, but the point I'm trying to make is that there are significant numbers of women who are turned on by the idea of being dominated sexually but are themselves often quite dominant in other aspects of their lives.

That does not seem to be the case for many of the women who post on this forum. These are just observations and are not intended to be judgmental. However, I think we're really all saying the same thing here. There is quite a broad range of interest in the subject. Choose the level that works for you.
