drake7:The missionary position, which I think is what you are talking about, is no more 'normal' than any other position- and quite a bit less normal than some. So if I were you I wouldn't get hung up on that position.
That's why i put "normal" in quotes, drake7, because it is considered normal by most people, but like you, I don't agree that it is more normal than others.

Thank you all for your most interesting replies. They give me much food for thought. I do want to remind some of you though that I was talking only about intercourse. It is easy for me to see how a female can be dominant in other ways. It is the act of having the vagina engulfing the penis (to use LT's wonderful description) that I saw as being entirely submissive.

I am sure that the fact that woodsman is almost twice my size has a lot to do with my submissive mind set too, but I see other ways of looking at the act now.
