Charleston, SC -- (SBWIRE) -- 07/15/2015 -- "Magic Mike is summer's sexiest, most fun-loving movie, but it's also the most insightful look at modern relationships the movies have given us in years," notes Dr. Leonard McGill, a former Contributing Editor to GQ and the founder of "http://www.Energysexuality.com". "In Magic Mike, women not only wear the pants, they rip them off the men."
"Throughout Magic Mike, women are seen throwing money around while beefcake males struggle to earn a living and find love. The girls have the bucks while the boys have the bodies," notes McGill.
"Think about it, you have Mike, played by Channing Tatum, who is every woman's dream bedmate. He's sensitive, hard-working and the stuff of underwear ads. He was in love with the girl of his dreams, but when he proposes on his knees 'with bacon and champagne and pancakes,' she turns him down and leaves. He's baffled. He says, 'I had the house, he dog…,' and shakes his head in disbelief.
"Later we're given a tour of a pleasure palace for black women named 'Domina'. First, that name comes from a Latin word meaning master, and it's also a popular name used by a lot of Dominatrix's," notes McGill. "The women there are real women. Lots of them carry an extra 10 or 20 pounds, and look like they may spend some time shopping at Wal Mart so they can budget for their tight dresses, high heels and eye shadow. These women, who are caressed and hugged and pounced on by men with abs that have more ripples than an egg carton, are in charge. They're getting 'pelvic bombed' by the male dancers, and they look absolutely delighted. But through the giggles and the gasps they send a message: 'It's time for me to enjoy a real man.'
"At one point in the movie a sensitive, well-groomed rapper/stripper says something like, 'These women deal with men all day that don't even ask them what they want. All we have to do is ask…and it's beautiful…it's like we're healers'. The movie is showing us that women are tired of men who aren't as strong as they are," notes McGill, "but at the same time they're demanding they be served by strong men. At one point the character played by Jada Pinkett-Smith says, in essence, 'Every once in awhile you'd like to be able to tell that man what you want…and then have him give it to you (Uhhh!)…and then ask you, 'How'd you like that?'"
McGill says the movies' climatic scene, where Mike and the boys get to strut their stuff, tells a lot about what women want these days. "Big Rick, dressed in a tux, walks through the throng of hot women clutching money in their hands. He picks one as his bride. There's a brief marriage ceremony, after which they toss back shots of Petron. Then Rick carries his new bride to their wedding bed, which is a sex sling, where he ravishes her with abandon as she squeals with glee," notes the author of "Disco Dressing," and "More Dash Than Cash". "I think the women in the movie are saying, 'There's more to life than holding this world together and weak guys who are less manly than their fathers. Every girl deserves some leather and lace."
What does Magic Mike mean for women and men? McGill says, "If you're a woman, feel your power. The world has changed, and you're in the driver's seat. If you're a man, short of spending half your day at the local gym and learning to dance or sing, you'd better ask what your woman what she wants and then give it to her. Oh, and learn to make her laugh. Women work hard for the money. As Magic Mike shows in such an entertaining way, men had better start working harder at pleasing them."
