I might never finish this thing but this passage kind of fucks hard

[ouroboroboros]

Saint Sebastian, Guido Reni. 1615.

Forcemasc content seems utterly void of the titular force. It usually takes the form of teasing, sometimes even encouraging posts. There is often interesting play with themes of bodily autonomy and mutilation but it completely lacks the grotesquerie and violence of Forcefem content. I think that's a shame. I have more criticism and thoughts but rather than needlessly hate I made something approaching more of what I'd like to see.

found this article from 2018 in the notes of that dumb post on forcemasc:

Let’s call it The Great Chaste Lie of the Plucky Heroine. “Oh, my, I’m not getting anything out of this fantasy of being buried deep within the bosom of shared manhood! I derive neither aesthetic nor sexual pleasure from the particular form of binding this fantasy requires, nor in adopting a masculine affect, nor from the thrill of being ‘discovered’ and punished, nor from the idea in being tutored and quizzed in the manly arts by a gruff, lantern-jawed paragon of masculinity! No, this is only to avoid detection/find an outlet for my period-inappropriate determination/prove that I’m not like other girls. Purely opportunistic, nothing erotically charged about our big-brother-little-brother, Mister-I’ll-make-a-man-out-of-you vibe, no sirree.”

Highly recommend reading it, it includes quotes from vintage trans-homoerotic romance books and they are Very Very Good.

This also reminds me of the part in Lou Sullivan's FTM guide where talks about how the medical field ignores the idea that there are people assigned female who get sexually aroused from FTM crossdressing, despite the fact that it very much exists. The assumption that forcemasc only exists because of jealousy ignores the fact that transmasculine desire is never ever ever given any kind of recognition or platform in any way despite its existence. Like yeah, it would seem like forcemasc kink came out of nowhere if you haven't had personally experience with being (or knowing) horny trans men with criminally underserved fetishes.

i need to drag somebody around on a leash rn. or vice versa. But mainly I want to clip a collar around someone's neck while they stare at me helplessly and feel the cool metal of a chain under my finger tips and wrap it around my fist and just yank until they have no choice but to lurch forward right where I want them <3

if you've never engaged with a creative art on a regular basis you need to understand that it requires concerted effort to get into "the groove" to make something and every second that it takes to get into that groove causes physical pain, but the only thing worse than doing it is not doing it.
