The submissive has the power.
“Rusty Rahm was perched on a stool, his legs tethered to the piece of furniture and his arms bound behind him. A man stuffed a wad of gauze into Rahm’s mouth and taped it shut, then shoved Vaseline up his nostrils.”
Sounds pretty damned submissive to me. Nothing manly about this. And 10 to 1, the proprietor has gotta be a homo.
