In italian language, the term is used to describe a very submissive boyfriend, that withdraws his rights and preferences just to appear a good guy for a girl he likes. It's like "submissive" but more related to everyday life than sex.
Pensa che la sua fidanzata abbia torto, ma non glielo vuole dire per non farla dispiacere, è proprio un sottone.
