Some people just are, and not necessarily in a sexual way. I've seen the comments above, and Rei nailed it. Part of it, I think, is playing a role. But...watch his face. Look at the Fever vids, go back to the early ones. Those are very playful, very much 'fanservice/stagegay'. Fast forward to St Louis. The kiss we got as a "suck on that, Westboro!" That was going to be a lick, but Adam changed it, and you can see Tommy's reaction to it. It's very, "WHOA!" And he was into it, and more importantly, he gave in to it.
The kiss we got in Bethlehem was a departure. Yeah, it was on the heels of fake-n-bake-gate, and Tommy was somewhat subdued looking that night. It was also the first appearance of "The Sweater Of Love." That kiss was softer. And then...holy shit, St Jean. Now that was something altogether different. That was Tommy with his arm around Adam's wait, rather tightly, the kiss that never ended, and...Tommy's face. I believe his knees would have been shaking, had the camera panned down.
Of course that takes us to Providence. And WTF was that?? That was Adam establishing Dom status, and Tommy submitting in front of everyone. And of course, no one really noticed. they were too busy dissecting "But he also...he likes this." THAT was gonna be...something. And then Adam's brain engaged, thanks a lot, Adam-NOT.
After this, though, when we have a Fever moment, Tommy's face goes from waiting for his cue to...waiting. His eyes go to Adam for his 'cue' all the time, months after everything should be by rote. Of course, he and Adam have more physical contact. But if you want a really good comparison...watch Monte. What he does with Adam is very masculine, very...hetero. Tommy is softer, prettier, and way more...submissive. The way he leans on Adam...and how funny that Adam calls him a pretty kitty. He is constantly in Adam's orbit, seeking Adam's eyes, his body contact...but not aggressively.
The St. Louis one had me watching for, like, 95029350 times. Tommy is very good at ~rolling with it. That's why I don't get people who are convinced that he's somehow secretly ~unwilling or being taken advantage of. *eye-roll* Also he's a grown-ass man, way to be insulting to both him and Adam. I mean, the very first time he ~rolled with it was THE FIRST TIME WE SAW HIM, performance-wise, at the AMAs.
Which is fascinating on its own. Obviously right now he and Adam have grown close and are good friends who are comfortable with each other. Last November, they'd known each other, what, a month? AND YET TOMMY JUST MELTED INTO THAT FIRST KISS. That totally screams natural sub to me, like you've said.

Tommy is a natural sub. Period.
