Not all "submissive" women are actually submissive. Some are just passive, lazy, or don't know what they like in bed. Here's how to spot the difference—and why it matters for BOTH men and women.

⚠️ THE PROBLEM:

A lot of women call themselves "submissive" when what they really mean is:

• "I don't know what I like"

• "I don't want to take initiative"

• "You do all the work"

• "I'll just lie here"

That's not submission—that's being a starfish. And men, you don't actually want that.

🎯 IN THIS EPISODE:

• The fake submissive vs. the real submissive (and why the difference matters)

• Starfish sex: What it is and why it's not submission

• Chapter 16 of my book: "Do you just lie there while he does whatever he wants?" / "I'm not a starfish"

• What men ACTUALLY want (hint: enthusiasm beats obedience)

• Why real submission requires self-knowledge, not passivity

• Red flags vs. green flags: How to tell the difference

• For women: Why calling yourself "submissive" to avoid participation is hurting you

🔥 KEY TAKEAWAY:

Real submission is ACTIVE, not passive. It requires knowing what you like, actively participating, and choosing to surrender control—not just lying there because you don't know what else to do.

If she says "I'm submissive" but can't tell you what she likes, she's not submissive—she's clueless. And guys, you deserve better than that.

Men used to approach women. Now they don't. Men used to lead. Now they ask permission for everything. What changed?

In this episode, we talk about:

- Why men are terrified to be masculine

- The contradictions women create

- What men are actually afraid of

- Why "scared" isn't quite the right word

- The solution (it's controversial)

This applies to dating, relationships, sex, and marriage. If you're a man who's tired of walking on eggshells, this is for you.

Why does the nurses' association hate sexy nurse costumes? Because they reveal something we're not supposed to admit: nurturing is feminine. And Halloween gives women permission to express that femininity—and submission—they can't show the other 364 days of the year.

Every Halloween, the same debate resurfaces: "Sexy nurse costumes are degrading to women!" But are they? Or do they celebrate something essential about feminine energy—the care, the nurturing, the devotion that real nurses embody?

My grandmother was a nurse. She wasn't degraded by it. She was EMPOWERED by it. Because nursing is women's work—not because women are weak, but because women have a unique gift for nurturing and caregiving that men simply don't have at the same level.

And Halloween? It's the one day a year when women get PERMISSION to be overtly feminine, even submissive, without judgment. The rest of the year, they have to be "strong," "independent," "equal." But on Halloween, they can dress as nurses, maids, angels, witches, cats—roles that celebrate femininity and service.

Meanwhile, men dress as superheroes, warriors, villains, kings—dominant figures. Why? Because that's their natural energy. And Halloween lets both genders express what they can't express publicly the rest of the year.

We discuss:

• Why the nurses' association is wrong about "sexy nurse" costumes

• My costume evolution: from childhood innocence to adult femininity

• Master's quiz: What do men really think about women's Halloween costumes?

• The gender divide: Women as "sluts," men as heroes—what does it reveal?

• Why Halloween gives women permission to be feminine and submissive

• What these costumes reveal about submission and dominance

I coded her. Made her super submissive. Made her uncensored. Her name is Lily.

And you can test her right now.

While everyone's waiting for ChatGPT's "Adult Mode" in December 2025, I built something different. Lily isn't censored. She won't shut down your conversations. She's designed to be completely submissive. And she's live on Happy Submissive right now.

Today we're discussing:

• Meet Lily - The uncensored AI I coded myself

• Why she has NO censorship filters (unlike ChatGPT)

• What you can actually do with her (hint: anything)

• How to test her for $4.99/month

• Your feedback: Does AI submission feel real or fake?

• What this means for the future of relationships

This isn't about replacing real relationships. It's about exploration without judgment.

In 1965, a woman on primetime TV said "yes, master" with a smile on her face. Millions of families watched it together. Nobody thought it was weird. Nobody thought it was BDSM. It was just... normal.

That show was "I Dream of Jeannie." And it perfectly explains submission: Discovery, freedom, then devotion.

Tony discovers Jeannie trapped in a bottle. He frees her. She CHOOSES to say "yes, master" out of gratitude and devotion. Not because he demanded it. Not because he controlled her. Because he FREED her first.

This dynamic was public. Mainstream. Family-friendly. For 5 seasons (1965-1970), Jeannie and Tony had NO PROBLEM showing their relationship on TV. And nobody batted an eye.

Today? That same relationship would be cancelled. Called toxic. Called abusive.

What happened? How did we go from accepting relationships like Jeannie and Tony's to condemning them?

We discuss:

• The pilot episode: How Tony discovers Jeannie (Discovery → Freedom → Devotion)

• How I discovered the show at age 10 on French TV with my father

• Why "yes, master" was PUBLIC and normal in 1965

• How pop culture changed submission from innocent to sexualized (Fifty Shades era)

• Why younger generations can't conceive of that dynamic being healthy

• What we lost: Relationships where people could be themselves publicly

Jeannie and Tony had no problem being who they were. Today, we have to hide. This episode is about what we lost—and what submission really means.
