So there is an interesting twist on this whole sex positive thing that I just wanted to mentioned because it’s come up a bunch recently. Think of this as a placeholder for a post…
If sex is something women have and men want how does this impact men’s self confidence? I’ve heard a few men express that it is novel to feel sexually wanted, not because they were not sexually wanted in the past but because there is not a space in which that is typically expressed. This is remarkable because all of the conversations I have had about this with all the various people these conversations have happened were in the last couple of months. Why is it so new and crazy to think that maybe men want to know that they are found attractive and desirable? I mean I want to hear that expressed by a partner…
In any case, bed time…

This topic is precisely what Male Submission Art was built to address.

I was at a gathering recently where someone said, in that tone of voice that is sadly common, “Well, I mean, they’re *men*.” Given the context, the implication was that men are insensitive and unfeeling, so therefore you do not need to worry about hurting their feelings.
Being generous, I don’t think this was actually what the person was trying to express, but the comment did really make me very uncomfortable. Men have feelings too. In fact, they’re not so different from women.
