Edit for background.

I'm phd, good money, divorced with a kid from marriage. He's 2 classes shy of his ba, service industry, decent money. He's emasculated and it makes me want to fuck around. I love him, but I want a trp man, who knows his value.
I've suggested he go to the gym. I said grunt and sweat under heavy iron, so he probably thinks I'm joking, but that's so he doesn't get defensive. How can I nudge him to want to up his own testosterone and be alpha? Dominate me kindly but firmly.
