[quote=Anonymous]good blog post on the episode here- http://www.vulture.com/2012/03/mad-men-recap-a-little-kiss.html
"By the close of the episode, Megan has broken down in tears and left work early; when Don finds out and follows her home, she removes her robe and begins cleaning the post-party mess in black underwear, giving her husband a tantalizing rear view of the body he can't have because she's decided he doesn't deserve it. They have sex anyway after Don pulls her up off the carpet and then lowers her back onto it. The dialogue and choreography of this tryst certify the sadomasochistic undercurrents that have coursed through all Don's relationships with women. He is attracted to, and apparently is attractive to, women who feel unloved and/or misunderstood, and who have father issues and consequently get off on Don (sometimes) when he's playacting the part of the big bad daddy. Don loves the thrill of the sexual chase, of finding a way to obtain pleasures that are being pointedly denied to him. He's also a self-loathing man who, for biographical reasons he probably barely understands himself, gets off on being hurt (figuratively and in one case literally). All those things are happening in the look-but-don't-touch scene with Don and Megan, only Megan's slaps are visual. She's assaulting his eyes with a body that she refuses to give him, until he takes it."
