Bob, what are you talking about? I have no idea what you’re trying to say here.

It would be really nice to have a female advocate sex blogger who posted about something other than the most recent media event from Lady Gaga to Mad Men. Still seems a woman’s voice has to be pretty timid to be mainstreamed.

This scene blew me away and was easily one of the most nuanced and intelligent scenes in a show that has been nuanced and intelligent from the get-go. I agree that Megan showed herself to be Don’s sexual equal in this scene, but it was more than that.

Without ever “saying it,” they splayed out the games we play with sex – from masochistic to self-soothing. They did show how we can “top from the bottom,” how submission can be powerful and generous, and how the seemingly powerful can sometimes be powerless. When it started, I was riveted, and desperately hoping to see a tell-tale sign that she wanted this. The way her leg immediately went up to imply “gotcha” to him when he pushed her too the floor……. Yup. Got me.

Was it 100% healthy? Who are we to say. But it was some of the most authentic sex I ever remember seeing on a screen of any size. At least that involved a script. Fucking loved it. And if I can ever be convinced to clean anything, I’m doing it in that bra and pantie set.

Matt Weiner was interviewed at length on Fresh Air, and actually used the word “sadomasochistic” when talking about this scene. ;-) Here’s the link:
