A survey of male submissive kinks: #10 The woman's physical might
The category that deals with sexual fantasies of tall and muscular women, lift and carry, wrestling, scissorhold, giantess and tiny, etc., and how they intertwine with other kinks.
This is part of a series of essays that collectively survey male submissive kinks. Find the Table of contents here.
Human males are taller and physically stronger than human females on the average. Starting from puberty, the effect of androgens on the male body causes the masculinization and the development of the stark physical differences in size and strength that are otherwise absent in prepubescent children between boys and girls.
Men have the potential to grow taller, develop more muscle mass, acquire denser bones, and mature into wider frames in the shoulders and chest. They gain more strength and more endurance than females, on the average. The result is a very evident sexual differentiation in physical might between the sexes in adulthood.
There are two evolutionary pressures that could have acted on the ancestors of humans to favor stronger males. First, females would have selected for stronger males because they provided a higher chance of survival and were capable of protecting the female, particularly when she was pregnant with a baby. This protection would have also been important in raising the baby after it was born. Physically strong men could fend off predators and deter other men from stealing their resources or attempting to poach their mates.
Second, in the dominance hierarchies of our ancestors, the odds were stacked against physically weak men who were unable to compete with stronger males in the acquisition of resources and the courtship of mates. It is safe to assume that stronger males fared better and that these evolutionary pressures therefore acted to produce the stark physical differences we have today between men and women.
This evolved sexual psychology has led women to be attracted to men who are physically lean, strong, tall, muscular, and physically imposing. In contrast, women on the average tend not to be attracted to short, scrawny, and physically weak men. The traits and attributes of physical strength therefore facilitate a man’s reproductive strategy.
Some men, however, have sexual fantasies of being physically inferior in one way or another with respect to women. Some of these fantasies, for example, are about losing wrestling matches to a stronger woman and being physically subdued by her in various positions. Other fantasies venture into strange fantastical realms of women of giant body size and men of tiny proportions. The kinks involved in all these fantasies share the common theme of the woman’s superior physical might in comparison with the man’s.
Physical domination
Some men fantasize about women who are taller and physically stronger than them. These sexual fantasies often revolve around the woman’s physical domination of the man, which can take various forms. The women that are the object of these fantasies are sometimes perceived in the archetype of Amazons, the mythical female warriors of Greek mythology.
Some men are aroused by the idea of being lifted and carried by a strong woman. The arousal is in the helplessness felt by the man when the woman has him in her arms or on her shoulder or on her back and when she carries him around effortlessly, performing various lifting movements with his body, throwing him around and manhandling him in general. The woman can also pose to show off her muscles, which can further arouse the man.
Any physical contest between a man and a woman can become the subject of a sexual fantasy featuring themes of physical domination. For example, the man can compete with the woman in an arm-wrestling match. In these fantasies, such a contest is typically arrived at after the man doubts the woman’s physical strength and they decide to put it to the test.
The physically strong woman beats the man in the arm-wrestling match and the man suffers the loss as a humiliation. This is to be contrasted with the man’s initial arrogance and the dismissive attitude he had before the contest regarding the woman’s physical ability. The woman can go on to impose punishments on the man afterward for his audacity.
Some fantasies revolve around actual wrestling matches between the submissive man and the physically dominant woman, a more physically challenging form of contest between the sexes. In these fantasies, the man can initially put up a fight but the woman always ends up overpowering and subduing him.
Some of the submission positions that feature in sexual wrestling fantasies draw on the various strangleholds and joint locks that are known in grappling sports, such as chokes with the woman’s arms and legs. In these positions, the man is in fact physically submitted by the woman.
In other positions, like various face sitting scenarios where the woman sits on the man’s face, the submission is only perceived in the man’s erotic imagination. Nevertheless, the effect is the same. The source of the arousal in all these fantasies is the helpless state—perceived or actual—in which the man is put by the woman in these various submissions.
A prominent position in wrestling fantasies is the so-called scissorhold, where the woman traps the man’s head between her strong thighs, squeezing his neck and restricting his airways. This can be done in a variety of ways depending on the positioning of the two parties involved.
The close proximity of the man’s face to the woman’s genitalia and anus in scissorholds further arouses the man who is put in this position as he imagines himself completely in the mercy of the woman strangling him with her thighs.
Sexual fantasies of physical domination of men by women often intertwine with themes of the man’s puerility where he is infantilized and sees the woman as a mommy figure. On the internet, a muscular woman who is perceived in the mommy role is typically known as a “muscle mommy”.
Physical domination fantasies can also feature acts of soiling the man, as these are acts of domination that lend themselves well to the physical superiority of the woman who is able to leverage her strength to physically restrain the man. These acts include, for example, being forced to sniff the woman’s armpits and feet and being trapped and held in various positions such as when the man’s face is trapped under the woman’s ass.
Corporal punishment also features in some fantasies of physical domination, as the strong woman can abuse the man in a variety of ways, including slapping him, punching him, kicking him, and beating him up in general. A particular corporal punishment that involves the woman’s physical strength is trampling on the man’s body. The stronger the woman and the heavier she is, the more painful the trampling act is for the man who suffers it.
Giant women and tiny men
There exists a submissive kink in men which stands out for the striking unrealistic character of the content of its fantasies. This is the kink of giant women and tiny men, also known as the size kink (for the enormous size difference between the man and the woman) and as macrophilia in the literature.
Due to the entirely fantastical nature of this world, the sexual fantasies that this kink gives rise to are seemingly endless and are only bound by the limits of the creativity of the man who experiences them. Attempting to relate every single fantasy is a futile exercise. Here, I simply illustrate the more prominent elements.
Versions
The fantasies that revolve around this kink come in two versions. Some men are drawn to scenarios that feature men of normal size and women who are enormous in comparison—proper giantesses. Other men are drawn to scenarios featuring women of normal size and men who are tiny—tiny men, known as tinys for short.
In both cases, the important element is the enormous size difference, where the man is so physically small that he can fit in the woman’s palm. In this text, I simply refer to “tiny men” and “giant women” but the aforementioned nuance should be kept in mind.
The fantasies also come in two versions to explain the size difference between the sexes. Some scenarios revolve around the supposed existence of giant women who roam around the world they cohabit with people of regular size but who are tiny in comparison.
In other scenarios, the man and the woman are regular humans initially but one of them suffers the unfortunate effect of a magical device or a failed scientific experiment. If it is the woman, she is grown to a gigantic size; if it is the man, he is shrunk to become a tiny.
The shrinking process can be instantaneous or progressive. In the latter case, the man who fantasizes about his transformation derives sexual pleasure from seeing his body being shrunk over a certain period of time. Men who fantasize about enormous size differences can be very particular about the measurements involved, having a specific ideal size for themselves as tiny men and for the women as giantesses.
The fantasies again come in two different versions depending on the attitude that the giant woman takes vis-à-vis the tiny men. She can be sweet and nurturing to them, almost like a mother figure, handling them delicately and caring for them, the fragile and vulnerable creatures that they are in this fantastical world of enormous size differences.
Alternatively, the woman can be dominating and cruel to the tiny men, toying with them and terrorizing them for her amusement. The tiny men become helpless as they try to evade an unfortunate fate brought about by the domineering giantess.
Romance
Some fantasies involving giant women and tiny men are conventional in the sense that they feature the courtship, romance, and sex that is considered to be normal in human relationships. The only unconventional element, of course, is the enormous size difference between the man and the woman.
In these mild fantasies, the tiny man can go out with the woman on dates, express his attraction toward her, and confess his romantic feelings for her. These feelings are reciprocated by the giant woman who, against all odds, takes an interest in the man despite his tiny size.
In some fantasies, the man and the woman are in a relationship, both of regular size initially. The man is then shrunk to a tiny size but the previous relationship continues in the dynamic of the new size reality.
These fantasies always include an element of nurture and care on behalf of the giant woman for the tiny man who is vulnerable and fragile. The enormous size discrepancy leads to different sex acts than the usual. Sex typically revolves around the tiny man pleasuring the giant woman as best he can with his tiny body. The size difference allows for fantastical ways the tiny man can pleasure the woman, notably by entering her vagina and stimulating her from the inside.
Unaware
Due to the enormous size difference between tiny men and giant women, it is not easy for the latter to always notice the former in the world they both inhabit. In the language of the men who have these fantasies, the giant women are said to be “unaware” of the tiny men.
The tiny men navigate the world, observing the giant women, sometimes even spying on them inappropriately such as when they are changing or masturbating. The tiny men can do their best to conceal their presence in these scenarios but sometimes the giant woman notices them.
When the tiny man is caught in an inappropriate situation, he can draw the ire of the giant woman and inspire in her the desire to punish him for his transgression. The tiny man can try to run away, attempting to evade the giant woman’s efforts at capturing him, but he inevitably fails as she catches on to him.
When he is captured, a great feeling of helplessness overcomes the tiny man as he is tightly held in the giant woman’s palm. The thrill in the anticipation of the punishment to be inflicted can be very powerful as the tiny man’s fate is left completely to the whims of the giant woman.
Crushing
A common element in fantasies of giant women and tiny men revolves around the crushing of the latter by the former. In some fantasies where the giant woman is unaware of the tiny man, she ends up harming him by accident in one way or another. For example, the giant woman can accidentally sit on him or step on him, crushing him in the process.
Tiny men in this fantastical world have to live in a constant state of anxiety as they run away from the oblivious giantess, trying all they can to avoid being in the wrong place at the wrong time and suffering an accident that can end their existence in the most extreme scenarios.
If the giant woman is cruel, she can laugh at the tiny man after she crushes him, telling him she does not care in the least what happens to him as he is just an insignificant tiny who does not mean anything to her.
In other fantasies, the act of crushing is performed by the giant woman on purpose, either for her own amusement or as punishment for the tiny for failing to obey her or for other some supposed transgression. For example, the tiny man can spy on the giantess in the intimacy of her own bedroom. She catches him in the act and inflicts the punishment on him once he is captured.
Fantasies of being crushed vary in the violence of the outcome. The crushing can lead to great harm to the tiny man in some scenarios, leaving him with broken tiny bones or even dead. Alternatively, the crushing can be imagined to cause no real harm to the tiny man. He simply experiences a soft feeling of being squished but is otherwise left completely intact and alive.
In crushing fantasies, the feet of the woman can take center stage if they are the body part that inflicts this fate on the tiny man. The sight of the giant female foot as the woman raises it above the tiny man can cause a great deal of arousal as he anticipates the coming down of the foot on his fragile tiny body.
The smell of the foot can also be a prominent part of the fantasy as the tiny man is forced in some scenarios to inhale it all, when he is trapped under the woman’s foot for instance. Due to the size difference, the smell that emanates from the foot of the giantess is experienced many times more intensely by the tiny man as it would be by someone of the same size as her.
In other fantasies, the tiny man can also be imagined to be trapped between the giant woman’s toes or even trapped in her shoe, tightly squeezed in with her foot.
Aside from feet, the giantess can crush the tiny man with numerous other body parts, including under her armpit, between her thighs, under or between her buttocks, and between her breasts. Any imaginable way to crush the tiny with the body of the giantess can become the subject of a fantasy.
Vore
Another common element in fantasies of giant women and tiny men is the act of being consumed by the woman or absorbed into her body. This is known as “vore”, abbreviated from vorarephilia. The tiny man can enter the body of the giant woman through any of her orifices. This process of absorption into the body of the giantess can happen out of the man’s own volition or against his will.
The tiny man can enter through the mouth of the giantess. She can swallow him whole, in which case he can imagine himself traveling inside the giant woman’s body, an environment that can be even more hostile to endure and to survive in. The tiny man can imagine making his way through the woman’s organs, exploring her insides like a labyrinth. He can also imagine his expulsion from her body by being spat out or excreted from her anus.
Alternatively, the giantess can chew the tiny man before eating him, crushing him into pieces with her enormous teeth. Such fantasies can involve gory details of the destruction of the tiny man’s body before the woman consumes him.
The tiny man can also enter the woman’s body through her vagina, a fantasy that can be powerful in the imagination of the man who has it due to the extremely intimate nature of entering the woman’s private parts and coming into direct contact with her insides. This contact happens with the tiny man’s whole body, given the size difference.
The thought of the tiny man’s submersion in the vaginal secretions can intensify the feeling of extraordinary intimacy. The process of being absorbed into the woman’s vagina is sometimes known as “unbirth”, given the reverse direction as compared with the process of giving birth. The tiny man can imagine himself exploring the vagina as he would a cave. He can even make his way up to the uterus of the giantess and reside there.
In some fantasies, the giantess use the tiny man as an object, especially for sexual purposes. She can grab him and use him to masturbate like a sex toy, rubbing her clitoris with his tiny body or using him for insertion into her vagina like a dildo. The woman can also shove the tiny man into her anus, effectively using him as a buttplug.
Other fantasies involve even more unrealistic scenarios, such as being absorbed into the woman’s mammary ducts through her nipples. Some fantasies of vore intertwine with aspects of soiling the man, such as when the tiny man is covered in the woman’s saliva, in her vaginal secretions, or inserted into the anus or used as toilet paper.
Other kinks
In this fantastical world of tiny men and giant women, some fantasies revolve around the servitude of the former to the latter. A giantess can be imagined to have an entire army of tiny men who serve her in some capacity in great numbers. The tiny men can be assigned roles and tasks to accomplish, such as doing the housework.
Some fantasies play on the tensions that can possibly arise between the tiny servants and the giant woman who rules over them. The two parties can be imagined to have meetings to resolve their issues and arrive at a compromise, meetings where, needless to say, the giantess has the upper hand. The tiny men can even be imagined to form something of a union to communicate more effectively with their giantess overlord.
Some fantasies involve a strong aspect of cuckolding the tiny man with another man the size of the giantess. Any conventional cuckolding fantasy can be transposed into this extraordinary world to apply to the tiny man. The size difference, however, opens up new avenues for fantasies as the tiny man can be used by the giantess in a variety of ways for the purposes of cuckolding.
A few examples of these scenarios will serve to illustrate. The man can be shrunk to a tiny size as punishment before the woman cuckolds him. He can hang around in close proximity to the woman’s genitalia while she has sex with her bull, possibly even trapped inside the condom he uses. The tiny man can be shoved in the bull’s urethra and sucked out of it by the giantess’s mouth or he can be shoved in the woman’s vagina as she gets penetrated by the bull.
Pornography
It is not easy for pornographic actresses to make videos catering to the kink of giant women and tiny men. The simplest device is to work on angles, positioning the camera to give the illusion from the perspective of the viewer that the woman is bigger than she is.
The fantasy of shrinking can be simulated by progressively lowering the camera, mimicking the process of becoming a tiny man. The fantasies of crushing can be simulated simply by stepping on the camera or covering it with the appropriate body part. The thump that is produced when the microphone is hit simulates the sound of the crushing of the tiny man’s body.
Pornographic actresses also resort to miniature toy figures of tiny men that they hold and play with in a variety of ways to simulate what they would do with the viewer. Miniature scale models of cities can serve the same purpose.
Some actresses resort to special visual effects to simulate the enormous size difference. Green screens permit the overlay of the woman on skyscrapers and other landscapes. These effects are for the most part done on a budget and the end result can be comical.
For this reason, men who have the giantess kink often resort to other types of pornography in which they can more readily suspend their disbelief. Such pornography that can more easily and faithfully reproduce the fantastical world of giantesses includes comics and animations and, nowadays, content generated by artificial intelligence.
This concludes a survey of the kinks involved in the category of the woman’s superior physical might. If you think something is missing from this overview, leave a comment and share your thoughts.
