I was browsing the blog ‘Tits and Sass‘ over the weekend when I came across this article. If you’ve not encountered it before, the blog itself is run by sex workers and provides all sorts of commentary and links relevant to their industry. The article in question is by Paris Lee, a former dancer and cam girl, and describes her decision first to get and then to get rid of breast implants. It’s not at all femdom related and, although I found it interesting to read her perspective, I had no plans to blog about it. Until I read her short sign-off section…
Paris lives in Ohio and loves ferrets, dogs, and submissive men…
When I saw that it struck me just how unusual it was. Outside of dedicated D/s and BDSM blogs, I don’t think I’ve ever see that before. The article in question may have been related to sex work, but it had nothing to do with kink or submission. Paris just decided that loving submissive men was a fact about herself worth sticking in that brief biographical sign-off paragraph. I’m glad she did (and does), but it’s kind of depressing to realize just how surprising it was to see that sentence. I probably shouldn’t hold my breath to spot it in a match profile anytime soon.
I’ll leave you with a shot that might encourage more women to adopt a similar sentiment. He looks just so damn cute and perky. I hope she has a treat available if he behaves himself.

Hello!
My name is Sandra Lindqvist and I am working for a Swedish TV-production company called Jarowskij, which is part of the Zodiak media group. I really liked your homepage and I hope it’s okay for you that I’ll be in touch this way.
We are currently working on a documentary series called “Fråga Olle-dokumentären” (“Ask Olle about sex – documentary”) about sex, love and relationships for Swedish Channel 5. This is the sixth season and so far it has been a great success.
Just like previous seasons the program will be presented by sexologist Olle Waller. He is a favourite amongst Swedish viewers for his insightful approach and compassion for the subjects he covers. He is a well-known spokesperson regarding these topics, and spends a lot of time lecturing in schools and organisations around Sweden and Europe. In all, we are going to produce 8 episodes with different topics.
One topic we would like to cover in our documentary is ”Human Furniture” – Forniphilia. We think that this is something that will interest our viewers and therefore we want to highlight that in our documentary. I saw on your website that you have done some research about this and I was wondering if you know any Mistresses or just some people that are practicing this? We are going to UK next Wednesday for a couple of days and we really want to meet and do a segment with someone about this when we are there ☺
Thank you so much for your help! I really appreciate that!
Best Regards
Sandra Lindqvist

I’m afraid I can’t point you at anyone specifically in the UK. But I just put up a post featuring your comment, so hopefully that might result in some useful leads for you.

I have to agree paltego that the signoff is unusual, but in a very pleasant sense. A very pleasant surprise. Granted, the fact that she’s somewhat of a sex worker probably makes it easier for her to just put it out there, but just imagine how awesome it would be (or would have been) if women in other careers were just as open? How sad that it isn’t.

Yes, spotting it resulted in kind of a mixed reaction for me. Pleasant surprise to see it, but then sad when I realized what it meant to feel so surprised!

Every few years i’m tempted to Google “positive portrayals of submissive men.”
This was one of the better hits i got, this time around.
Ha. It’s a bit of a bitter sweet post on the topic, but glad it was one of the better ones! I think there are a decent number of other posts on my blog that do have “positive portrayals of submissive men”, even if they’re not showing up in search results.
