Awesome post, and I totally agree! I've often wondered what makes SPN such a hotbed of slashy subtext, and I think you hit the nail on the head. Ditto to your thoughts about why Dean asked Cas to disrobe - I thought the same thing. Though, just to play devil's advocate, unbuttoning the shirt might have also seemed more casual - but the 1st button only, probably not 2.
Cas certainly has subby tendencies and those come into play here. I think Dean does, too, which makes the idea of sex between them...interesting, to say the least ;)
