What is a sissie?
What is sissy?
Within the Transgender and BDSM community, where one male partner adopts the persona of a female's traditional role, in the sexual activity of the two. This is in a more pronounced manner, than just being the submissive partner.
Definition
Generally used to describe a male, who has more effeminate mannerisms. However in a sexual context its a type of role play where the bottom or submissive person adopts a female persona.
It's also a derogatory term, used to describe a male who exhibits supposedly less than masculine attributes.
About
In traditional man on man relationships, one is classed as a bottom or a top, but in a Sissie context, the submissive goes beyond just being a bottom.
This involves adopting mannerisms, associated with women, in a traditional sense. It includes dressing as a woman, as well as adopting other feminine persona traits. This includes mannerisms, gestures, including talking, how one sits, etc.
Being 'Sissified' is a voluntary decision by the submissive male, though in some dominant scenarios, it could be considered 'forced' as a requirement by the more dominant male.
Practice (Associated Acts): Extreme scenarios include the changing of names, to those more feminine sounding. Usually it includes transforming the male name, to a feminine version, usually which has an [a] and [i] sounding added to the end.
Stephen would become Stephanie, Joseph turns into Josephine and so on. There are some exceptions, such as Samuel would become or change to Samantha.
Noteworthy: While this can lead to further changes, including physically altering one's body, it can also simply exist in a manner of role playing, within a BDSM context. This would include the dressing up in outfits, such as a Maid, or Nurse, or other traditional feminine roles, to act out a scene, during sexual activity.
