Something I've found that commonly crops up in my conversations on Literotica is the reconciliation of masculinity and submission, as many social constructs and gender roles make submission antithetical to the male gender identity. While I'm sure many in this community shirk the concept of stereotypical gender roles and accept the inherant dimensionality of gender identity, fetishes like sissification and feminisation often rely on these heuristic associations.
What I am wondering is what both submissives and dominants think about the notion of a masculine conceptualisation of submission. In my mind I envisage a focus on maintaining an athletic physique, a 'toughness' demonstrated by withstanding things like CBT, pain-play and anal play, as well as a manifestation of 'protection/provision' through service to the dominant.
Is this something that many dominants find desirable in a sub. To male-subs in particular is this something you identify with or would like to adopt.
All perspectives welcome! Thank you for taking the time to read through my ramblings.
