2. You aren't really telling me that the influence your wife holds over you in a loving, committed relationship is superior to the actual positions of power men hold in the public and private sectors all over the world, are you?
3. Sex doesn't drive all. Money and power do. The more you have of either, the less power sex has over you because, in the most cynical terms, it is a commodity, like anything else.

I guess it depends on what you define as power. I deal with "powerful" men all the time. They have some dough and some ego. But I think the biggest power derives merely from how you carry yourself, and what you are innately. Carl Icahn can fuck a lot more women than me. The difference I'd like to think exists is that I could fuck a lot more women who actually wanted to fuck me. Sex isn't a commodity like the rest. To actually get good sex, and by good sex I mean the kind where the woman digs your shit, and she wants you, as opposed to wanting what you have, is a function of You, not your power, prestige, etc... I meet high powered women and waitresses I want to fuck all the time. It's not about what they have or their drive to achieve. What winds up my libido is some thing I can't put my finger on - a combination of looks and intelligence that sort of just radiates out of some people. I think that's power, and women who can elicit those reactions from men wield incredible power.
I think the influence my wife, or any woman, holds over a man by sheer sexual need and desire, is more powerful in a cosmic sense than any power you or I could wield in a boardroom. It's just a different kind of power. Bringing people to do your bidding by sheer force isn't so much power as mere resource allocation. They have to do what you say because you can crush them. Bringing people on even footing to do what you want by manipulation is true power. Men try that. I'm not bad at it. But women... shit, they have that skill from birth.
I think sex drives all because at the end of the day we can't escape that we are primates, and no matter what you get, no matter what you achieve and no matter how many women you bed, you still have to look in the mirror and consider why she's fucking you. There's nothing worse in life than to "make it" in all regards, but understand every moment of your life, that you have zero "Kavorka." I'd rather attract women than any other skill on this planet, so they'll always own me (even those I;ve fucked over). But that's just me. Like I said, everybody has a different definition of power.
ETA: Upon further reading of this, I realize it's also entirely possible I've just been hopelessly pussy whipped in a sense by every attractive woman I've met since I was old enough to fuck.
