I think (ok I'm guessing) what Sue meant in her question was that do
some men think it is cool to be really in physical control of a woman
the way that King obviously was in the film, ie, to literally have a
woman in the palm of their hand (in the non sexual sense of course).
It's a bit of a no no for the modern male to admit that these days I
suppose but there are those who might who might think it without
saying I'll bet.
We all have fantasies and one like that is perfectly understandable
and harmless to me.
