Some male characters that are sexually submissive are completely heterosexual/straight. These characters have no attraction to people of the same sex (other men). Despite this lack of attraction and firm heterosexuality, these submissive characters have secret desires to be sexually submissive to more masculine men. The submissive man intends to keep his desire a secret as it is humiliating to him. This desire is usually centered around a woman or multiple women he does find attractive. Always there is at least one woman commanding the submissive man to submit to a more masculine man or to multiple masculine men. Almost always the woman or women watch and humiliate the submissive man further. There may be additional women present that the submissive man finds sexually attractive who do not command, instead they watch and humiliate the submissive man more. The submissive man's arousal is heightened if the masculine men have a sexual history with the women involved in this trope. The dirtier and nastier the sexual history between the masculine men and the desired woman, the more the submissive man desires to submit to the masculine man. The submissive man is almost always humiliated. The submissive man's arousal is always heightened by his humiliation. The submissive man finds bisexual acts and homosexual acts as extremely humiliating. The more sexually aroused the submissive man is, the less he is able to maintain his desires as secret. The more sexually aroused the submissive man is, the more he desires humiliation. Almost always the masculine men are firmly rooted as straight and heterosexual males. The masculine men almost always are involved in this trope to gain power and/or feel powerful. It's not about attraction: The submissive man isn't attracted to men or males. His desire is to be submissive to the dominance of a masculine man, which is a very different emotional and physical dynamic than finding masculine men sexually appealing. This distinction is crucial and is what separates it from bisexuality or homosexuality. It's a form of kink or fetish, but not a standard one: While it involves submission (a common BDSM element), the specific heterosexual trigger is a woman or multiple women the submissive man desires, who command and direct the interaction. This makes it a very particular type of power exchange, a kind of "third-party kink" or a "cuckoldry" variant that's not exactly traditional cuckoldry (which is usually about the man's woman having sex with another man). This trope is oftentimes combined with traditional cuckoldry.
