I've went along with sexual advances from a woman reluctantly, and refused them. Definitely feel more power in the situation when I refused them. But that's just how it is in any situation regardless of sex . If you capitulate, you will feel unempowered and grow distant, if you stand up for yourself and your wishes you will feel empowered. Maybe the role of women is different, but as a man, these things feel universal.

I agree with you. Saying no is crucial to building an identity. I used to be the person who caved in and said yes all the time. It'a learned behavior. I started saying no a few years ago, and now it's great. I can be myself finally. I think it's the same for men and women. The power of no.
