Genitorturers - I Touch Myself (SotD#12)

When I listen to the Divinyls version of “I Touch Myself” I hear the story of a woman a woman completely smitten by a man; willing to do anything to please him and, in a way, she is using him to justify her sexuality in a slightly desperate/submissive way.
But with the Genitortureres’ slightly altered lyrics and machine-like industrial sound I hear a story of female dominance. A woman USING a man as a cure for her lust, and forcing him to put her sexual needs first; demanding that he do nothing less than fall down on his knees to worship her. When Gen puurs that she touches herself she merely throwing the bloke a bone as if to say “Good boy.” Yes, Mistress Gen! I completely agree with your concept.
