Ares says cocks out for war!
COCK’S RULE
Color: Red, cause of Mars
Symbol: Two crossed spears, weapon of Ares. Like two crossed phalluses, get it?
Nickname: Cocks, or cockerels
Ares – the house of the red god – has a strict philosophy of tops-only. All mutual penetration within the pack is forbidden: the jocks cannot put their dick inside each other. Breaking that rule even once leads to permanent exile. All other forms of sex and intimacy between jocks is encouraged or even mandated. They kiss, frot, jack, rim and grope each other freely like any other pack, or perhaps more freely. Ares are hardcore androphiles – their love for men and the male-form is, they would say, unparalleled. Which is the root of their philosophy: they see penetration as the death of masculinity. The only way to be a man, to respect a man, and to love a man, is to be a top. They’ve taken bottom-shaming and turned it into an ideology to live their lives by.
Ares don’t divide people based on sexuality. Rather, they are divided into cocks and holes; like tops or bottoms. All women are holes, and thus are due no respect. But a man can be a cock or a hole. Those that choose to be holes are thought of as women, and are treated as such. Misogyny is rampant within Ares, and actively encouraged. Outside-hole is a staple of den life, since there is no such thing as ‘inside-hole’. The jocks are constantly revving each other’s engines with no where to stick it: of course they need regular hole brought in. This is unusual for the other packs, which are capable of satisfying each other’s sexual needs without external help. And all this outside-hole is universally degraded, shamed and discarded. Ares have only disdain for people who let themselves be penetrated.
All hole brought in is considered den-property and must be shared freely with all the brothers. And all the brothers are expected to take part. But remember, Ares don’t distinguish based on sexuality, but on sexual role. Which means that the men who identified as gay prior to joining the pack are expected to fuck the female hole, and – in theory – the men who identified as straight are expected to fuck the male hole. The latter is much more of a niche praxis. Androphilia and homoeroticism are essential pillars of Ares’ philosophy, so legit heterosexual men rarely want to join this, or any pack. Though it’s not totally unheard of. Once they’re in the pack, they’re no longer straight. They’re a cock, and so the alpha will demand he fully integrate with the group. That means kissing, frotting and playing with his fellow cocks. In the rarest of rare cases where a jock is both straight and the alpha, he might drop this rule. But who knows? By that point, he might’ve truly internalized the value of homosexual intimacy.
The hierarchy in Ares is intense. The alpha has total control and all jocks are expected to defer to him on everything. While the alpha tends to arise naturally, it’s usually the jock who brings in the most hole in the long run who comes to be seen as the alpha. If the alpha can’t maintain a good supply of hole for his boys, problems will arise.
Ares have little respect for the other packs because they all allow bottoms – holes – to be jocks. They think Cerise and Rosiée are complete jokes and aim their most vile jokes, slurs and heckles at them. They tolerate Liberius, Tauron and Fenris because they recognize their masculine validity in spite of their bottoming. They have no time for the prissy boys of Orion, or the strange scally lads of Summer. And their rift with Meatheads keeps them from being friends, though they share so much in common (at least with the tankers side). The other packs almost universally dislike or distrust Ares. Their toxic, ‘tops-only’, ultra-masc disposition makes it easy to hate them. But who gives a fuck? Packs are about intra-fraternity – the rest of the world can go fuck themselves. Especially the other packs.
But here’s a little secret. It’s hard. This whole ‘no penetration’ thing, it’s a struggle. The anal sex part not so much cause most of the cocks really don’t wanna bottom, but not being able to give each other mutual blowies can weigh heavy. These boys are intensely attracted to each other: their androphilia might be the greatest of all the packs. But they cannot indulge that attraction to its fullest and still be called an Ares jock. For many of them, that’s sad. But they sacrifice. The desire to be Ares is just that strong.
Common triggers: Misogyny, femphobia, queerphobia, bottom shaming, toxic masculinity (all intense)
