The hypthetical husband who smacks his wife across his knee every now and again – with her consent, maybe even at her suggestion – as an enjoyable preliminary to lovemaking, is only pretending, pro tem, to be an authoritarian. He is acting a part, just as she is – in their everyday lives they may well behave entirely differently – and the success of the production will depend to a very great extent on their suspension of disbelief, itself enabled or crippled by the quality of otherwise of the available thespian skills. A temporarily submissive female may require a very great effort of will to convince herself, even on the most fleeting and insubstantial level, that a very short man with a squeaky voice who keeps mispronouncing the Words of Power is actually a confident and capable superman, whose word is law, whose intentions are not to be flouted, and whose iron-muscled thighs constitute an altar on which all sins will be washed clean.

Other personalities I found less appealing, having no interest in wicked uncles, schoolmasters, slavemasters, etc.

Chapter 13 “The Rite” discusses the ritualised nature of flagellation, and I recognised how true this was. Mr anthony describes the seven distinict stages of the proto-ritual:
