Well Lynn I did say you are intelligent. And you have a healthy perspective inspite of your situation.

The original question in this thread did address the variations of different sexual preferences and how the roles of dominance plays in the variations of those different sexualities.

LOL Well Lynn, you and I have pretty much stated that we have both known our own sexual preference without much question. Therefore all you and I could really do is discuss (within our own preference) the factor of dominance and passive behaviors in a relationship.

As Michael has better defined his opinion of the difference of Dominance in Tyranny
I have agreed with him on his description of the kind of Dominance he was describing.
One has to realize that it can have a different meaning to others that may read into the Dominance in a way that it has not worked out for them.

As Michael has further explained the type of situation better, yes, I can see how that can work well and actually be healthy in a relationship. However I didn't want someone else to understand the Dominant behavior as being the same as Tyranical and walk away being confused. And that is what lead me to requesting an example to think about and see who, not necessarily actors but anyone that might be recognized in a public way.

It must be recognized that we do have a younger group of reader that could be easily confused by the statements that were already made.

Lynn if you think about your own statement of not seeing the red flags and possibly what that may lead to down the road, well, that scenario happens all the time. I can certainly raise my hand on that one with the kind of alcoholism I experienced and all the struggles that entailed. And yes I feel the same way you do about the fact that I have a wonderful child that would never have existed had I seen those red flags.

So far there have only been heterosexual views here. At least we have a clearer definition of what a HEALTHY Dominance and passive relationship entails.
