What are Your Kinks?
This is a Mistress musing comparing and contrasting the masochist versus the submissive male and how they can get their needs met. Categories can be both beneficial or problematic depending on the situation. In the BDSM Fem dom context I think it is important to know what you like and be honest about your needs. If you fail to look at your kink needs truthfully you’ll be caught up in a cycle of expectation and disappointment. Who wants that? The reason I wrote this post is because I’ve found that masochists often parade as submissive men because they’re not self aware enough to ask for what they need. Often times they have found once they out themselves as a pain slut it is difficult for them to find their Venus in Furs.
Masochism Revealed
People often throw this term around loosely without knowing what it really means. The definition of a masochist according to the online Merriam-Webster dictionary is as follows::
1: a person who derives sexual gratification from being subjected to physical pain or humiliation : an individual given to masochism. But Ksenia is a masochist who cannot experience sexual pleasure without first experiencing extreme pain.— Christopher Rice
The pain is pleasure the pleasure is pain
The masochist cannot function sexually without some form of pain involved. That stimulus is not limited to the physical either. Some of these creatures seek out emotional pain in the forms of humiliation and degradation. As a seasoned lifestyle Fem dom I prefer an honest pain slut versus the undercover one that will try to instigate a reaction by being confrontational or down right abusive to orchestrate a reaction.
The covert masochist
The covert masochist will often try to control the Fem dom by employing manipulative methods he/she wants to experience . For example goading is one technique, “I don’t think you’re mean enough for me.” On one occasion I had friend who was seeing a “submissive” and he had often resorted to rather abusive types of behavior to get a reaction . The line between kinky play and abuse is thin with this breed because sadism and masochism are opposite sides of the same coin. Their desperation leads them to sometimes act like monsters repelling the very thing they desire most.
Fem Dom Advice for the Pain Sluts
Be honest. If you aren’t honest about what your needs are as a submissive male how do expect to get them met? I had one guy say very directly “Please hurt me.” I appreciated the directness because it cut right through the bullshit and got right to the point; a good time was had by all. Don’t resort to assholery to get your needs met. Any Fem Dom who knows her worth is not going put up with it. You might have several trysts that are mildly satisfying until she dumps you, but until you communicate openly and honestly about your desires you will always be disappointed. Don’t false advertise as “submissive” when what you really want is pain; you do all parties involved a disservice. Masochists generally only want to serve themselves; this isn’t meant as a judgement; it is just an observation. If you “Know thyself” as the Delphic maxim suggest everything else becomes simple. Literally everything.
The Submissive Male
The submissive male on the other hand is more interested in pleasing and being of service to their dominant beloved(s). They get sincere pleasure out of making that person’s life better in some way. Eroticism isn’t limited to purely sexual acts. I’ve had some of the best Fem dom encounters while My sub is doing mundane things. For example I occasionally have My one submissive cook or clean in the nude. Sometimes I enjoy having him rub My feet while watching T.V. or if he’s really good, I’ll sit in My queening chair and have him service Me orally.
Pitfalls for Submissive Men
Truly submissive men aren’t happy unless they are serving. These wonderful strong men know that their heart’s delight is making a Woman happy and feel unfulfilled unless they can share themselves meaningfully with another. The dark side of this unmet need is they are at risk for being taken advantage of by unsavory sorts. This may manifest itself in the forms of emotional manipulation/abuse to try and get some benefit. If someone has to push you into giving something and that isn’t part of your kink schema; it is probably an indication that something isn’t right. I always tell My submissive men if they are seriously considering get ting into a relationship with someone, always do a background check and listen closely to their narrative. As men it is very easy to get caught up the thrill of being able to express your submission with a beautiful Woman. Don’t allow that desire to blind you from some the red flags such as all take and no give, not taking personal responsibility for their life, and playing the victim role. These are sure signs that you’re possibly in for a future no lube corn holing, run Forest, run!!!!!
Being a submissive male isn’t easy
Toxic masculinity is still posited by our society as the ideal or sexy behavior for men. Men have their own culture and their is implicit pressure to behave a certain way while in penis herds. Submissive men have to put on a false persona and this can be a burden for them. It is like a heavy weight they have to carry around until they get to Mistress so she can ease that burden and they can be themselves. I always try to create a space during a call where I add to a person’s time and experience .Where they can choose to be totally vulnerable or simply role-play. That is the beauty of Fem dom phone sex. No strings, no worries, no pants:, no problem ;).

Not into the pain bit at all!!!for me it’s all about you dressing/lipstick kissing my cheeks/turning and keeping me as your submissive weak helpless soft and feminine cream puff girl.
Oh Paulina we know how much our cream puff loves to be a gurly gurl!!!
This is a great post. I especially appreciate your thoughts on how being a submissive man is not easy. Being in male culture does not feel normal. You have to pretend you are something you are not. You can show some of your self but even with close friends you cannot always show that you feel most comfortable waiting on the ladies or doing errands for females. You can do it but if you do it to openly it will be noticed. It feels like a relief when you can be with a lady who directs you and sees that as okay and normal.
Thank you for the thoughtful response :). Culture in general doesn’t support individuals being authentic because it is an affront to its very nature of mass hypnosis and conditioning. It is a revolutionary & delightfully rebellious act to be comfortable in your own skin & to simply be without any other justifications, rationalizations or pretenses.
