As a Western civilization buff I found it interesting quite some time ago, when I learned about the concept of feminization in Roman history. When Rome began to spread too thin, all its men were at war, and for a period most all children were raised with their fathers away, leaving their mothers as their only influence. In essence, it led to a generation of males that didn't support the army that was the core of the Roman Empire. Such men were usually submissive in character.
I found this fascinating because I was an Army brat, and my dad was never around, so I've basically been raised by my mom. I'm 6' 1", 230 lbs, and I emotionally and sexually match this stereotype, yet I'm heterosexual. After some research I found these traits to all be linked by a single piece of slang -girly boy-.
But there was one thing that hadn't matched up: my build. I look like a line backer. I have to buy dress shirts at big&tall stores because nothing else fits my arm and shoulder span. I'm a huge bearded burly hairy dude, and yet sexually I'm sensitive and submissive. I prefer anal to penis stimulation, but I'm not gay. I don't have the body for it, but I'd probably try cross-dressing of I could get away with it. Hell, I wear Tripp NYC kilts and long skirts.
I've always felt REALLY out of place, but on the section of the internet where I'm both anonymous and WON'T be judged for it, do any other guys on here feel similarly or have a similar story to share?
