My wife and I are in a very nontraditional relationship. Basically, she is into female domination in and outside of the bedroom. She is always on top, chokes me etc and is very aggressive.

So in order to maintain my SMV, I gotta lift and lift heavy. I do, Ive got my fitness on lock, but she has my balls on lock.

So the other day, I did something and she ended up spanking me with a wooden paddle. It left bruises that some of the guys saw in the locker room. They all know my wife, so one of them put it together that I got spanked last night.

Since then, he is always making jokes about how I am my wife's bitch and she makes the rules. Now, I don't care about that, but it seems the other guys at the gym have started shying away from me. They barely engage me in conversation anymore and give me weird looks.

I just shrug it off, but its beginning to bother me. What should I do to show that even though I'm not the boss at home, I'm still a man worth respecting?
