Beat me to it...

I agree with the majority, yes, you can be 'whipped.'

It has nothing to do with doing things together and showing affection. Once you start doing things out of fear of retribution (sexual, what have you... instead of loving affection, not only are you 'whipped,' but are also on the road to resentment.

I've known a few 'whipped' men. I used to work with a fellow, who lived in fear, for lack of a better word, of his girlfriend witholding affection when he displeased her. On the rare occasion he was allowed to spend time with his friends, he was constantly on his cell phone (she called him..) giving status reports about what was happening and when he'd be home. He was constantly having to 'make it up with her,' his words not mine. She, on the other hand, could go out when she wanted to and with whomever she chose. If he wasn't invited, he was expected to be home to await her phone call. There was a definate imbalance to their relationship and she held all the cards and made all the rules.
