A half-dressed man stares across a room at a woman dressed in her underwear and heels, as she inexplicably writhes against a pillar.

Okay, one last April Fools’ Day anti-MaleSubmissionArt.com picture and then we’re done, I promise—really, because this series hurt me a lot more than it hurt some of you.

Another thing I despise about much of the way submissive men are portrayed is that they are de-sexualized while the cisgendered dominant woman is hypersexualized, as this picture clearly showcases. Even here, though, most of the photograph is far more focused on her than it is on him. This merely emphasizes the virgin-whore duplicity in the way such imagery depicts women, and simultaneously reinforces the insignificance of the submissive man along with both partners’ (falsely) unattainable sexuality. In other words, dominant women are at once the ultimate sex symbol and untouchable—they are put into the no-sex class—and submissive men are made instantly undesirable, incapable, and unsexy, since being sexy is a role filled by the woman.

When is our culture going to realize that sex appeal is not a zero sum game? If you sexualize women, men shouldn’t have to become less sexy, nor is sexualizing men a threat to a man’s masculinity or a woman’s femininity. Sadly, pornographers seem completely blind to these facts, and I imagine this is because their agenda is to make a buck. Even more sad, however, is that they don’t realize that their easily sustainable market of horny human beings can only grow—not shrink—if they participated in a world-wide movement to bring truly equal sexual opportunity to everybody. But, and here’s where they all fall short, it’s just not possible to do that when what you’re really after is the paycheck—which is why this site is now and will forever be non-commercial.

I sincerely hope that pornographers and other individuals will one day realize the benefits of creating an honest-to-goodness level playing field, along with new standards that actually make it possible to provide for the wants and needs of all people. The only way to make sex a positive thing, including for those people who do want to make money off of it, is to start this way: free, open, transparent, and fair in each and every way.

Please help me get us there. All right, enough proselytizing. Tomorrow we’ll return to our regularly scheduled programming of hot, hot men being all submissive and hot and stuff.
