Wheldrake -> RE: jobs for male subs (2/13/2008 10:51:38 AM)
|
I'm in the early stages of an academic career. I'm enthusiastic about my field and fairly hard-working, and I can be firm when necessary, but I wouldn't describe myself as high-powered. I'm never entirely comfortable with authority, even over students, and when working as part of a team my instinct is generally to step back and let others take charge. I think I do a lot of my best work on other people's projects, rather than my own. Left to my own devices, I tend to dither a bit, but I can generally get things done. In a sense, then, the submissive side of my personality comes through even at work. I don't think I'd be too unhappy in a parallel universe where I could spend my office time naked and shackled to my desk, receiving instructions and working out how to implement them, as long as the tasks were intellectually challenging and reasonably close to my own interests. I wonder if the perception that a lot of male submissives are in high-powered jobs arises because confident, assertive, successful men are more likely to work up the nerve to approach a potential mistress? "Alpha males" would then be over-represented among the men who made contact.
