Yeah, I really took Elizabeth's curiosity as healthy rather than indicating any problem with him or her. Up until now I don't think she's wanted anybody to maker her his, but Philip behaving that way in bed she finds intriguing and she would probably try it because she trusts him enough to role play (and honestly, why not tap into that given how good they both are at it, as long as there are groundrules?
I wonder too, though, if this is another area where Elizabeth seems to be the one with the issue when Philip actually has the same issue, only doesn't make it as clear. The two of them have both had, it seems, one relationship that was just normal and for themselves, and it was when they were younger. Elizabeth had hers longer, but it was still very controlled. Philip, too, has spent most of his adult life having sex that was all about the other person, either because they were a source or because he didn't feel like Elizabeth wanted him enough to put up with too many wrong moves. So both of them at this point might be a little flummoxed at someone asking how they like it for themselves. They've I think started that sort of thing back in the pilot, but now they're considering branching out into other areas of their personalities since that's worked well so far.
