[[Male submission]] is a common theme in BDSM, a sexual practice that involves [[bondage]], discipline, dominance, submission, sadism, and masochism. The submissive partner, in this case the male, gives up control to the dominant partner. This can involve physical, psychological, or emotional control.

* '''[[Humiliation]]''': The male partner is degraded or embarrassed, often in a sexual context.
