I find the thread very interesting, and I am glad it came up recently. I will add my own thoughts.

Psychological vs physical: I think you can have physical without psychological, however if you do, your most likely forcing the person your dominating, and therefore not really dominating, just making them do your will from mere force. Who is the more intelligent species? Well between my wife and me, it's definitely her. Her IQ is well above mine, her education level is well above mine. Her ability to manipulate is well above mine. That said, she prefers I control things, she prefers that I tell her what to do, how to do it. She prefers that I control the scene. Although I must say, when she becomes willfully disobedient it is very difficult for me to correct her. Partly because she is so willful, and partly because she is so incredibly smart.

If our roles were not so well defined between the two of us, I am quite sure the roles we hold now could be easily reversed. I am so deeply infatuated and held by her inner and outer beauty that I sometimes feel captive in her presence. Yet at the same time I have this incredible need to have her kneel before me, to spank her, to whip her, to tie her up, and have very physical intimacy.

Ahhh love.
