Question reblogged from Tanadrin with 12 notes

Anonymous asked:

As a gay-man that reads kinky feedist erotica I will sometimes see a sort of masculine-coded humiliation transformation, where the object of affection starts acting “ slobish”, stops shaving There body hair, etc. And this happens while There gaining weight. Sort of becoming the sitcom-Dad image of masculinity, the pov character will often stay thinner and more fem/gym-meterosexual-gay stereotype coded

tanadrin:

That’s interesting. Okay, audience, do we think the “fat, hairy, sitcom-dad” image of masculinity represents an emasculated archetype (or some kind of failure to live up to “true” masculinity), or is just a variant? Because afaict some people seem to find many of those traits attractive.

Well I think the “slob[b]ish” degeneration angle is important, a gay man who cultivates a fat, hairy body is a bear.

  4. self-loving-vampire said: Personally I see slob kink as a separate category with its own tags and so on (for what it’s worth I also think forced detrans/transphobia kinks are a different but maybe adjacent thing to standard forced genderification). Slob kink is also not necessarily tied to masculinization and often involves female characters that remain feminine in all other ways.
