So, maybe this title takes a few liberties. But I recently made a surprising discovery: The forced-bi fetish has some intriguing roots in in ancient Greco-Roman mythology. Buckle up; this is going to get a bit strange.
Before I summarize one curious mythological tale, consider the fact that the forced-bi fetish (and other activities in the vicinity, such as crossdressing), if it is anything, is a fetish that involves an element of transformation.
Transformation
First and foremost, the skilled Mistress will transform a guy’s sexual desires. This primarily involves getting him to have enough desire for her that he is willing basically to do anything. In line with the forced-bi fetish, she may then prompt him to lust over men (or, at least, one part of a man) – or transsexuals – instead of women. (This is on one interpretation of the Mistress’s role. For another, in which the Mistress simply brings out latent homosexual urges, see HERE.)
This first transformation, when it succeeds, may lead to others. So, second, the resourceful Mistress may soon have the male performing sexual acts – like fellatio – on other men. This result may be secured as long as the male has a willingness to carry out his Mistress’s commands. But, many Mistresses enjoy their seemingly magical ability to literally “rewire” a guy’s sexual make-up in order to turn him into a cuck-sucking slave.
Thirdly, the man be transformed in other, closely related senses, whereby he begins to dress as a woman or – and for some Mistresses, this is the brass ring – take cock up his asshole.
Think about these multiple layers of transformations and then take a look at the following symbol from the medieval “proto-science” of alchemy – or the search for the fabled “philosopher’s stone” (on which, see more further on).
The Rebis
The freakish figure is known as the Rebis. Apparently, this is Latin for “double thing.” Isn’t that a provocative name?
You’ll notice that it has both male and female features. If taken literally, you could think of it as a stylized representation of a transsexual. If we take it metaphorically, however, it’s tempting to think that it could be a symbol for the kind of “double” – or bisexual – desire that basically forms the basis of the relevant fetish.
The Androgyne
The androgyne is related, symbolically, to something called an “androgyne.” The word comes from andro-, meaning “man,” and gyne-, meaning “woman.” Accordingly, as one quote that I found put it: “The androgyne rules over …the conjunction of opposites.” It is sometimes taken to be a representation of the “philosopher’s stone.” (Or what Harry Potter called the “Sorcerer’s Stone.”)
I take this to mean that the androgyne is a symbol for bringing opposites – like male and female – together. And this double thing has been known about since the time of the Greek philosopher Plato. In his dialog titled the Symposium, which tells the story of an ancient drinking party, Plato has the poet Aristophanes talk about – wait for it… a primeval Androgyne. According to the story, human beings were originally all male-female doubles, joined together. (There’s a similar story in the Jewish Kabbalah.) But now we are separated which is why, Aristophanes says, we seek out our “soul mates.” A so-called “soul mate” is the person you would have been joined to if we were still androgynes. What? You didn’t know that already?
The Hermaphrodite
In turn, the androgyne is also connected to the concept of the hermaphrodite. The word “hermaphrodite” is literally a composite of the names for the Greco-Roman deities Hermes (male) and Aphrodite (female). So, the hermaphrodite is also a conjunction of opposites.
Besides these curious creatures, there are other symbols for this union of opposites, as well.
The Letter ‘Y’

For instance, and believe it or not, the letter “Y” is one such image. It is suggestive of two things (like two streams) coming together to form one thing (like a single river).
The “Y”-shape is also reminiscent of a wand – yep, as in…a magical wand.
And here, finally, is the story that I found.
The Story of Tiresias
By Krauss, Johann Ulrich, 1645-1719 – Yale Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library [1], Public Domain, Link
In Greek myth, there was a man named Tiresias. He’s walking along one day and finds two snakes on the side of the road having sex. (Don’t ask me how.) For some reason, Tiresias takes his cane and puts it between the two snakes, to separate them. The snakes slither up the walking stick and, voilà! Tiresias himself turns into a woman.
Apparently, Tiresias is able to switch back and forth between male and female by using this serpent-entwined staff. Nowadays, we call this staff the “caduceus,” also known as the wand of Hermes.
The Caduceus Wand
By Rama – Own work, Public Domain, Link
But, as a symbol, the caduceus represents two things that I think are really interesting to anyone who enjoys the forced-bi fetish.
For one thing, the caduceus stands for the idea that a guy can – in some sense – “switch” from male to female. Again, you can think of this literally, like a sex-change operation; or you can consider it a metaphor for something like what a Mistress does in a forced-bi scene.
For another thing, the caduceus is a symbol that involves “snakes” and “staffs.” Um. Both of those are phallic images. You might think that the whole story is just a thinly veiled representation of a homosexual encounter where two cocks (or guys, that is the “snakes”) are variously brought together or separated by a third party (maybe like a Mistress, represented by the staff).
The Root Chakra
Since we’ve already gone this far down the rabbit’s hole (take it as a pun if you want), it’s also intriguing to think about the idea of chakras. The “root” chakra is, well… it’s connected with the anus. And also the genitalia. Curiouser and curiouser. Right?
So, think of this. Just as a staff or wand is a symbol for a phallus, a phallus is also a sort of wand.
If a Mistress entices or seduces a male to put his cock into another guy’s asshole, this can be thought of in this way: She got one guy (the “top”) to use his “wand” to activate the root chakra of the second guy (the “bottom).
V.I.T.R.I.O.L
The occultist Aleister Crowley wrote about something that he called the “Universal Solvent.” It’s supposedly this magical, transformative substance. Its other name is V.I.T.R.I.O.L. In English, “vitriol” refers to really harsh and cruel words or criticisms. But, it also used to literally mean “acid.”
However, the word is an acronym. Crowley says that it stands for the Latin sentence Visita Interiora Terrae Rectificando Invenies Occultum Lapidem. He translates this as “Visit the interior parts of the earth: by rectification thou shalt find the hidden stone.”
How do you “visit the interior parts”? You might go down into a cave, or a hole, perhaps. And by “rectification” you can supposedly “find the hidden stone” in there. Get it? Go into the hole and by “rect-ification” you get the philosopher’s stone. What was that again? Oh, that’s right, it’s the androgyne, or this freaky male-female composite.
Caveat Lector!
And this is all arguably found in ancient mythology! It’s not for nothing that the old “mystery religions” were accused of being sinkholes of depravity. So, put the wands down the holes and “rectum-fy” at your own risk – or the risk of the subs! Because…
It’s worth mentioning that many mistresses comment on how addicting (or should I say “a-dick-ting”) forced-bi sex is. A lot of guys who can be coerced, impelled, or otherwise persuaded to try it actually become cock-and-cum junkies thereafter.
Can they ever “switch back,” like Tiresias in the story? I don’t know. And most Mistresses, frankly, don’t really care.
They just seem to get off on the power trip. They enjoy wielding the wands, so to speak. Who wants to be transformed next?
