GenZ Malesub Thoughts Wanted! :D

Hi guys I know you lurk and want to post something. If you want to be visible, you have to be active.

How do you feel the progressive trends of our modern era have affected your submission? Do you ever feel like there's conflicting pressure with nu-masculinity, manosphere-esque mentalities floating about, to choose one or the other? If you're comfortable sharing, are you ever concerned about how you might be perceived?

So as not to be exclusionary, to anyone of other groups, are you comfortable with the directions that young men are being encouraged? That's obviously a little bit of a loaded question, so I'll refine it a little - obviously, everyone on here SHOULD be supportive of submission as a romantic preference, and assume nothing more. But, is there anything that worries you about specifically the way submissive men are being considered/treated?

To give something to respond to, I've felt like there's been a surprising lack of progress made on the understanding of the femdom/malesub relationship relative to maledom/femsub, in that the latter has kind of formed associations with "traditional lifestyles" like homesteading or theism, but fd/ms still sits squarely in a fetish space. Arguably it seems to be getting worse, but maybe that's because it's still something that people prefer to keep on the downlow. Thoughts?

WOW! You peaked my curiosity. I'm wondering how the younger generation really feels about all this.

Full disclosure: I have been a sub in a Femdom marriage for many years. Quite frankly, as an "older" person (we're in our 70's), you used terms I have no idea what they mean. My generation kept things much simplier.

PLEASE don't misunderstand, we know a lot of people in every generation and are not criticizing in any way. The Femdom lifestyle is a wonderful one when done with the right partner.

Interesting question: " If you're comfortable sharing, are you ever concerned about how you might be perceived?"
We don't hide our lifestyle, but we don't flaunt it either. We have no concerns about how we may be perceived - it's our choice. But, please understand, we are also respectful of others when in public.

Over the last ten years, there has been such a huge backlash against anything perceived as being diverse, or non-traditional sexually, that it seems like certain forces are trying to corral our modern, sexually liberated society back to the 1950s-era sexual repression. I worry not just about perception but about a possible loss of sexual freedom, as these forces seem to be winning... I have been told, even by certain members of this forum, that I am "Going Against God's Plan" or that I am "Going to Hell" because I would place myself in a subservient position to a woman.

I do live in an area where a lot of people are sexually conservative. So yes, I do worry about how it might be perceived if it came out that I was into being submissive to a woman. It does pose difficulties in the dating scene, where most women I meet tend to prefer traditional masculine types; I really have to keep that submissive side of me hidden in order to not scare off a potential partner.
