What Really is Male Submission?

Listen and Pay Attention

Sweet Happy BDSM Female Top

I have no patience with definitions of what constitutes authentic submission. In a power exchange relationship whether F/m or any Gender/gender proper submission is what proves successful for both partners.

Behavior that approximates an ideal. Ideal conditions are boundaries that are rarely reached.

For me I’d say submission is deferring to the top’s wishes as best as I can. That is consistent with my emotional and physical well-being. People submit because they believe it will satisfy an internal necessity.

The key element that most men lack in offering this deference is probably in actually perceiving and understand the top’s wishes. I have plenty of good will and honest desire. But with the virtues that I can honestly attribute myself I’m forever hurt by how often I could have been more conscious of what was desired and would have made experiences better.

Like all relationships BDSM prospers given communication, attentiveness and empathy.

Male / male BDSM Art by Waldo

I’ve long known of French BDSM artist Waldo’s F/m and M/f illustrations. It was yesterday that I discovered that he’s also produced gay male BDSM images.

BDSM Is Sexual Orientation

Sadomasochism Comprises Sexual Orientations

Submissive Man Dominant Woman Sexual Orientation

I got this unexpected email:

I’ve been fascinated with this concept since finishing Elise
Sutton’s Female Domination. . .. have to
wonder, how do you get a submissive to get on it if he isn’t
“willing” or he has the inner strength to submit to such.
Seems I would really have to have a good reason.

Beyond getting a non-submissive boyfriend to play bedroom games she’d fail. He’d eventually get tired of it and leave. There’s always the chance of latent submissiveness but there’s no winning in striving for the unlikely.

People need to understand that BDSM – D/s, S&M, Bondage, Humiliation – these erotic needs, desires, inclinations are issue of sexual orientation. Just as much as gender orientation.

The sadist or masochist can’t stop being who they are anymore than a gay man can be converted by Marcus Bachmann into a heterosexual.

Being dominant or submissive is an issue of inner nature. Qualities settled in us when we were innocent children. Fighting against your sexuality only leads to unhappiness.

And people are kinky in their own individual way. And there desires and pleasures often modify in the presence of a top or bottom they really enjoy being with.

If you are a sadist, dominant or masochist, submissive person and your lover or spouse doesn’t share your needs then you need to either leave the relationship or arrange for your partner to your exploring BDSM with others.

I Think I’m a Submissive, Bisexual Sissyboy – Help!

Male Sissy Tight Corset Paul Kamm
Sissyboy in Corset by Paul Kamm

In May of 2009 a very sweet sounding guy, confused a bit about gender, bisexuality and his submissiveness wrote me via BDSM Romance asking for advice. I promised a quick reponse.

Yesterday I finally answered him. Elsewhere:

Ruined Orgasm I

Many years ago during a period when I was looking for an outlet for my masochism a man who wrote me had a sadistic desire that was new to me.

The guy wanted to tie me up and masturbate me to and past orgasm. The continued massaging of my penis would eventually become painful. Having been a sometimes too enthusiastic wanker I knew my penis could become sore. What an exciting idea. (Sadly he decided that he wanted to explore his own masochism and we never met.)

Ruined Orgasm II

A device, finger, dildo, Aneros prostate massager is used to stimulate a man’s prostate gland. This forces him to ejaculate without having any sort of orgasm.

Technically there is no orgasm involved but involunatarily mimicking the results of an orgasms is dehumanizing and humiliating.

This has always struck me as a very moving experience. To have your physiological response manipulated inddependent of your actions or intenions.

Ruined Orgasm iII

A few years later focussing exclusively on F/m BDSM I read an entry on male genital manipulate:

No lubrication is used, and the glove is not allowed to slide over the organ. At the first twitch, pulsation, or other indication of approaching orgasm, she quickly removes her hand. She does not resume the almost mechanical “Milking” for a full minute. Sixty seconds is a long time when excitement is high. It is, however, necessary to wait out the full time prior to resumption. This same routine is carried out again and again, ceasing each time that there is the slightest muscle twitch observed or suspected. During the sixty seconds that the “Milking” is not taking place, the Mistress should tell the slave how well he is doing, how much pleasure she will get from his having a dribble orgasm, how displeased she will be if he has strong contractions, how he must relax and not do anything to spoil her pleasure, etc. This, in conditioning terms, is the reinforcement stage. The grand finale is a little squirt from the cock slit, followed by his slime slowly oozing out. While this is occurring Mistress should again give positive reinforcement. …

My synapses contorted themselves into new shapes when I read that. I wish I’d copied the entire, quite long, entry. The blog is long gone but it always seemed to actually be written by a woman in a F/m power exchange relationship.

How profoundly humbling to have one of a man’s greatest delights so diminished, made feeble.

Ruined Orgasms IV

From another F/m blog:

I then very quickly and vigorously, almost viciously, from behind, jerk his organ with my rubber gloved hand. He is so tense that it rarely takes even a minute before he is ready to spurt. I am watching this very closely and as soon as I note a slight start of a spasm I stop, take my hands away, step back and watch amused as he spurts, in a most frustrating fashion into his condom.

I assure you there is no orgasm when this method is employed, try it yourself and see! The look of frustration, total and utter frustration, is a picture to behold. Even now after several years of this treatment, he cannot quite comprehend just how frustrating the experience is. It leaves him yearning and desiring satisfaction, dreaming of what he used to experience. He remains totally unrelieved of his sexual tensions and urges, indeed they are multiplied ten-fold as a consequence of the frustration of being so near, yet so far from an orgasm. All that has been released is his semen, not his sexual tension.

This blog entry was much longer. I was rapt with helpless fascination. But clearly the account was fiction presented as truth. Perhaps only to give the story a greater sadomasochistic thrill.

Ruined Orgasm Summary

The first is pure S&M. The masochist’s penis is forced to endure pain. This is so much the opposite of what is expected from the genitals that it is almost shocking.

The second is also pure physical manipulation of a man’s sexual organs. His power over himself is literally taken away. It seems like a species of consensual sexual assault.

In the third a man is masturbated in a carefully structured manner. The goal is to elicit an orgasm without pleasure. The man’s body is pushed to climix perhaps by duration.

With the fourth we find a man caculatingly brought to orgasm only to have the stimulation removed with cunning timing to render the orgasm pleasureless.

The first and second kinds of male sexual manipulation are actually practiced.

The third and four have captured the mind’s of masochistic men as the most humiliating. Especially number four. It is the kind of ruined orgasm men search the web for.

The Runied Orgasm Myth

A BDSM urban legend I think. Of course I speak only with the authority of my own body.

I’ve certainly had orgasms that I felt could’ve been better.

I’ve had orgasms after taking my hand from my penis just a moment too soon.

Sometimes I’ve had orgasms that didn’t result in ejaculation. My body still shuddered. Pleasure surged through me.

Even my mildest, most flawed and least competently achieved orgasms gave me pleasure.

Your can be over-masturbated to pain. Your prostate can be massaged to ejaculation without orgasm.

But even the most minimal orgasm is fun.

Predicament Bondage: Testicle Leash

Young Richard had just discovered his same sex loving component and it reallyh shook up his world. He moved to the big city (Atlanta) where there were many exciting things not to be found back home in Savannah.

Like adult bookshops. I never became a habitué. But it was a good place to begin the study of homosex.

Back then there were these really trashy, sleazy sex tabloids. I bought one. It was filled of things not dreamed of in my philosophy. Like butt plugs. Who knew such things existed. Why did they exist? (Something I’ve yet to understand.)

There were things that grab my imagination and would color my BDSM fantasies forever.

There was a crude drawing of a man in bondage. His neck collar as connected to a testicle collar. Movement would pull at his balls or squeeze his neck.

I’d just discovered predicament bondage. Maybe the drawing is why my testicles are so deeply connected with submissive emotions (otherwise they are just there unless I – ouch! – bump into something).

The bondage is mild. But being on my knees is very important to me. It isn’t an position without value. With his face averted I an project my feelings into his seemingly patient submission.

Young Man Tied to a Tree

Looks like someone tied their male slave to a tree and wandered off.

For ten years I was an only child. And even after the birth of my sister my mother regarded my happiness and ultimate outcome as the center of her life. That had good and bad consequences that I won’t talk about here.

The idea of being tied up and then (temporarily) deserted reaches deep down into my brain. How frightening to be deserted. Alone. How hungry you would be for the one who left you there. How grateful when she or he returned.

It is the intensification of gratitude that draws me most strongly in concieving of certain scenarios. I crave to feel thankful. As thankful as I was to the momma who would never ever stopped feeling that whatever I did wrong I was still the most important thing in the universe.
