Oh, bullshit. That's just misdirected introductory level psychobabble aimed at demeaning the OP for no good reason.

There's a more obvious and likely reason the OP felt compelled to mention his masculinity: simply to distinguish himself from the significant number of subs who identify as "sissies" and the like, or have a strong interest in being feminized.

I would  have just taken it at what I consider face value ... and that to me would be that he had no interest in being feminized in any way .... I wouldnt even have considered that it had anything to do with his sexuality.  I dont often look for deeper meaning in profiles and journals .. I leave that for one on one chats ........

Ok, either I've lost my ability to understand written English, or you've totally missed the fact that the OP is female...I haven't mentioned my masculinity yet, but if you'd like to hear my take on it...meet me at Paddles so I can set the record straight.

Probably to set himself apart from the hordes of desperate, unwanted sissies that roam scenes everywhere. And to chase off women who want to make him into one.

I saw a profile today that got me wondering...so I posted these questions to my journal. Then I thought, "why not post this to the boards and see what happens?" Here `tis.

There are many times when I see a submissive man's profile where he says he is submissive, but masculine. The questions are, why would any submissive man feel he needs to make such a statement? Is being submissive such an "unmanly" state that a submissive man has been made to feel he has to attach this disclaimer to his self-description, even on a kink site? Why is that? And yes, I'm aware of the obvious male-dominant societal bias response...but I'm more interested in going a bit deeper...Like, what attitudes might a man encounter in a kinky, just about anything goes environment, such as this is, that still fosters this need to declare one's masculinity?

Perhaps this has been posted about before. But, there's a new male sub member joining everyday...and, I haven't seen this recently. So, I'm interested in all opinions, but mainly those of submissive men of all sexual kink/fetish/lifestyle orientations.

Thanks,

MNN

There are all sorts of generalizations regarding submission.

I've seen profiles from female submissives who specifically state: "I'm submissive but I'm not easy." [sexually promiscuous].

Or, "I submit, but I'm not a doormat to everyone."

Etc.

It's just a way of dealing with people, with limited information, who may make unfair judgments about other people.
