Rick,

I'm grateful for the extended quotation, but I'm not sure how you think it changes the context of my questions. The operative word continues to be "forced." What I want to know is whether, according to the followers of Norman, there are some women it is permissible to FORCE to submit, because it will result in their fulfillment.

It's clear to me how Norman feels on this issue--at least, how he feels within the context of his fictional world. What is still unclear to me, even after several direct questions on the subject, is whether those who here in the real world consider themselves "Goreans" believe that some women benefit by being forced to submit against their wills.
