But economic growth and interpersonal freedoms are not enough for those of us who seek a more complete version of love.
When we make love, we want a different privilege. We want to stop focusing on our own physical appearance and to immerse ourselves in the bodies of our male lovers. We want to lead the erotic adventure without being called out for femdom.
