A Conversation

"So, here's my problem... she spanks me during sex."
Me: Do you not like it?
"Um, no, not really."
Me: Why?
"Well, it kinda hurts. ... And it makes me feel like a child being punished, which is a terrible feeling to have during sex. And, well, I feel little out of control, to be honest."
Me: And that's a bad thing?
"Well, yeah. I almost [employs air quotes] lose it. ... How do I tell her to stop?"
Me: Tell her what you just told me. Tell her you don't like it.
"But I think she likes it."
Me: So? If she likes you at all, she'll stop doing something that makes you so uncomfortable.
"..."
Me: ...
"But I like spanking her."
Me: Does she like you spanking her?
"I don't know. I never really thought about it. She moans when I spank her, but I moan when she spanks me because it hurts."
Me: Did you ever ask her if you could spank her?
"I just assumed it was cool."
Me: Why?
"Well, you know, girls like that sort of thing."
Me: You mean those feelings of pain and being demeaned and made to feel like a child and being out of control...girls like that better than guys?
"I didn't say that."
Me: You said it makes you feel that way. Why would it be different for a girl?
"Because girls are used to it."
Me: ... Keep digging your own grave here.
