The more intimate a relationship is the more vulnerable are the participants in the relationship. To find meaning and satisfaction in intimate relationships the participants must learn how to be safely vulnerable in intimacy, to give the gift of the freedom to be safely vulnerable, and to graciously accept the gift of the freedom to be safely vulnerable. Males who try to dominate intimate relationships, to be in control, to determine the course of the development of the relationship, and to say what should, and what should not happen, are unable to become meaningful participants in truly intimate relationships. Thus sexual domination in efforts to achieve personal meaning and satisfaction within sexual relationships are bound to lead to dissatisfaction, frustration and anger which may be expressed through violence of some form or another.
