Women In Charge
From the "Well, duh!" files comes this report from Iowa State University that finds women typically have more decision making power in the household than men.
A quote from the article:
Trained volunteers coded the videotapes using a scale that rated couples’ interactions based on words and behaviors associated with blame (blames, accuses and criticizes the partner); demand (nags, pressures for change, requests); withdrawal and avoidance (avoids discussion the problem by hesitating, changing topics, diverting attention or looking away); and discussion.Wives were more demanding—asking for changes in the relationship or in their partner—and were more likely to get their way than the husbands. This held regardless of who had chosen the issue.
This was certainly the case with MJ and I long before we entered into our current relationship. She always controlled the money and set the agenda of the house. That I would rebel and resist that control was only because I was denying my true nature.
Things are getting better now, mainly because MJ now gets to call the shots on everything without an argument. (Well, mostly. As I mentioned in my last post, I’m still a work in progress.)

Just found your blog, very nice.
A couple of questions:
You found out what MJ’s title is, does she have one for you?
You seem to be in tease and deny, have you thought about a chastity device?
Some references out there: bondage.com, alt.com but I’m sure you know about them.
Congrats!

She typically just calls me “boy”, which suits me fine.
We have discussed a chastity device and with my PA piercing it would work really well. However, she feels that it takes more willpower on my part to refrain from touching. A chastity device would make things too easy since it would remove my will. She does love to torture me!
We’ve ventured into ALT.com a little bit, mainly because a number of the folks in the local scene hang out in the chat rooms there. We may get more involved as time goes on.
Thanks for the comments!
Some Dommes prefer to have the absolute control and actual ownership that a chastity device affords. Amity is one.
bondage.com has a very good and active forums section, which can be accessed for free.
