Reaction: If of age, you have the right to have "sex" in private with whatever vegetable, mineral, or mechanical gadget you own or have honestly rented for that purpose. So long as you don't expect society to pick up the tab for any consequences of your exercising that right.

This article is way overthinking things. From a societal point of view, as evidenced by ads, movies, etc., there probably are overtones of dominance and submission in sexual relationships. But from my personal point of view, sex is a pleasurable, fun, and emotionally satisfying thing to do with an equal and willing partner (or by myself). I pity those who can't get past their sociological theorizing enough just to have a good time.
