maleformatriarchy:

This kind of also makes you wonder if a lot of the violence against Women and general bad male behavior is rooted in the cognitive dissonance between this fact and toxic patriarchal gender norms.  That is, due to said norms, when many males experience natural submissive desires, they are made to feel “unmanly” and “weak,” and then they might project the resulting insecurities and self-loathing onto the Women they can blame for causing their psychological distress.

Yet another reason why we would all be better off under matriarchy.

Very interesting, and I would love to know this was true. Unfortunately I couldn’t find the study on the internet, nor could I find any articles about it. That makes me skeptical, since this is dramatically different from most of the BDSM studies I’ve seen. Does anyone have a link?

It’s hard to find because you would probably not recognize it by its title, 
“Social dominance and forceful submission fantasies: feminine pathology or power?”

and its abstract mentions none of this, as the study is still primarily focused on explaining submissive fantasies in women.  The, in my opinion, more interesting data on male fantasies seems to have gathered with the original intention of just serving a control purpose.

Unfortunately, unless you subscribe to the Journal of Sex Research or have
some sort of institutional access like I did in college, you can’t get the full
text version.

However, here are some direct quotes from the study to back some of this
stuff up:

“Participants were presented via a web interface a single elaborate vignette
reflecting a submission scene derived from Dara Joy’s (1998), Mine to Take
… After reading the vignette, the participants rated (a) the percentage (from
0%-100% on a seven-point scale) of their fantasies (i.e., a relative frequency)
that follow the theme in the vignette (i.e., sexual domination by a member of
the opposite gender.” (p. 575)  “Only
6.64% of the entire sample denied ever having the fantasy (and thus were
dropped from our analysis of meaning).  A
full 66.2% of men and 57.52% of women reported that 50% to 100% of their
fantasies were on the theme represented in the vignette.” (p. 577)

That means, despite all the socialization for Women to be submissive and
males to be dominant, on average a greater proportion of male fantasies are
about submission than are female fantasies. 
One can only imagine how wide the gulf would be in the absence of patriarchal
indoctrination.

Furthermore, the study also collected data on how appealing submission fantasies are to Women and males in addition
to frequency data.  When asked to rate
the appeal of a submission scenario on a seven point scale (with 1 being not at
all appealing and 7 being extremely appealing), the average score on submission
fantasies for males was 5.15 but for Women it was only 4.16.  Again, think of what the difference might be
if Women were not brainwashed into “wanting” to be submissive and males were
not made to “want” to be dominant. 
Indeed, the data also shows that males find fantasies in which they
submit to a Woman far more appealing than one in which they dominate Her, as
the average appeal score of domination fantasies in males was only 3.48!

So to sum up: Despite the force of centuries of patriarchal brainwashing, males
entertain submission fantasies more often than Women, find them more appealing
than Women, and find the idea of submitting to a Woman significantly more
appealing than dominating Her!
