<nods> Icey. Many PPL do react differently when the submissive is female. Though I do not.
This is pretty cut and dried to me, within the conditions/Bounderies I have listed. And I do Agree about the "emotional minefield's", not just regarding sex, but nearly anything that deeply emotionally affects a person. None of these were listed in the original Post though. And I know that doesn't mean they don't exist.
This male Submissive may even be a Cuck Natured being? Which may explain a lot, and will bring a whole different twist on this situation as well. But I don't actually know either of these PPL. So best I can do with what was posted is all.
