I am dominant by my nature, so it is clearly not true for me.

If we look at men who want "dominatrix", I am sure that it is not true for many men and women. Society want us to be like this, thought. The more patriarchal and conservative (or religious) society is - the more such ideas are promoted and often enforced.

I wonder if it's less likely to manifest sexually in more conservative cultures because men oppress women openly there. They don't have to confine it to the bedroom.

I did read a study that said Democrats (who are allegedly lovers of equality) are more likely to be aroused by BDSM, while Republicans were more turned on by cheating. But our overall society is still very patriarchal, even if people try to hide it under the surface.

lol dominatrix has nothing to do with female dominance, it's just another fetish for men. Female dominance is more like what you'd see in lesbian relationships, i.e. not male-gazey shit that exists solely for male stimulation like everything else.
