But that buzz might not be a conscious one, and hidden behind the ostensible purpose of the activities.<br /> <br />The modern vanilla woman probably works the same way. She may not be aware of or comfortable with the buzz of power, so there's not much point offering that to her. Better to offer the vanilla benefits and see what happens. Hence my book.<br /><br />Thanks for raising this. I think I may expand on this in a blog post.Giles Englishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06078027627281038866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1926558375998557812.post-16047272381030282812011-08-11T12:46:49.587+01:002011-08-11T12:46:49.587+01:00So it's the "buzz of power" that mak...So it's the "buzz of power" that makes the difference? I see your point, and it's an interesting one. Thank you for the clarification. <br /><br />If we had the advantage of a time machine, it would be interesting to observe our Roman slave mistress, and see just how much of a buzz of power was actually involved. It might be a bit less mundane than you're imagining. There's something about wielding a whip that generates quite a buzz of power (at least for me) in both a metaphorical and actual sense. I'm not certain that it could be avoided when a woman dominates a man, no matter where the "theater of operation" happens to be.Lady Greyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10795130564028111447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1926558375998557812.post-33653808235433229342011-08-11T08:33:06.151+01:002011-08-11T08:33:06.151+01:00Thanks for posting!

As long as e.g. a backrub is just a backrub, then she's vanilla.Giles Englishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06078027627281038866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1926558375998557812.post-22356807872870520102011-08-11T00:41:09.402+01:002011-08-11T00:41:09.402+01:00Giles, how can you describe a Roman Mistress slave...Giles, how can you describe a Roman Mistress slaveowner as being "vanilla"? You say "Despite being vanilla, the Roman mistress chooses to keep a male slave because her total power over him ensures that she can get what she wants and no more. The benefits far outweigh the inconvenience of managing a slave." <br /><br />If she has total power over a slave she owns, and can order the slave to fulfill her every need, just how is she still describable as "vanilla"?<br /><br />It seems to me that she's much more of a "natural dominant" in her world than a "vanilla" anything. She's dominant because of her place in the society of her day, and I just can't see how she'd ever be considered vanilla by anyone, including herself, even if such a term were in existence back then. So, why are you calling her "vanilla"?Lady Greyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10795130564028111447noreply@blogger.com
