rosexuality was only
             escapable but not changeable, otherwise there would have been a third option to resolve the problems and reform
             heterosexuality. So despite feminism's claim that change is always possibly as means to improve women's position there has
             been a tendency to offer what seems a fixed and once and for all meaning of heterosexuality, for example Dworkin argued that
             penetration was the expression of men's enduring hatred of women (Smart).
             Though this provides a very straight forward understanding of the oppression women do encounter in heterosexual relations, by
             offering a fixed meaning where men are actively sexual and women are passive by its definitions it also makes these acts against
             women natural and inevitable (Waldby). Sharon Marcus exemplifies this point when she writes "To take male violence or
             female vulnerability as the first and last instances of any explanation of rape is to make the identity of rapist and raped pre-exist
             The point to consider is that Freud's account of sexuality may have normalized heterosexuality and the positions it offers for its
             subjects but it did not necessarily make it natural or inevitable. If anything it can provide us with a framework for understanding
             how change can occur for men and women's positions due to its polymorphic notions of sexuality, that is shaped by culture and
             psychological processes. Having established that heterosexuality is capable of change we need to find the aspects that make it
             problematic and address ways to solve them.
             The most problematic aspect of heterosexuality for women is the issue of penetration, for this is what established
             heterosexuality as problematic to begin with because it was seen as submission to man's phallic power. This is evident in early
             feminist work such as, Simone de Beavoir, who in The Second Sex documented several women's first experiences of
             penetration which were described as painful, from which...
