Understanding Submission and BDSM
In the world of BDSM, submission is when an individual willingly relinquishes control over their actions, desires, and potentially their well-being to a dominant partner. The submissive person, or "sub," and their dominant partner, or "dom," engage in a consensual power exchange that forms the core of their relationship or interaction.
Why do people enjoy submission?
- Trust and bonding: Submission requires a significant amount of trust in your partner, often leading to a deeper emotional connection.
- Emotional release: Giving up control enables submissives to escape the stresses of daily life and enjoy a safe space in which they can be themselves fully.
- Pleasure: Submission can offer physical and emotional gratification, particularly if the submissive individual enjoys the feeling of being desired and cared for by their dom.
How to Be a Sub: Key Steps to Embrace Your Submissive Side
1. Education and understanding
Before embarking on the journey toward becoming a submissive, it’s essential to educate yourself about BDSM, its various practices, kinks, and safety measures. Check out resources like Filthy Adult, attend workshops or local munches, and read books covering the topic. There's always more to learn, so never shy away from increasing your knowledge and understanding of the BDSM realm.
2. Communicate openly with your partner
Introducing the idea of submission to your partner and discussing your desires and limits will be crucial in creating a safe and enjoyable experience. Be honest about your fantasies, boundaries, and potential triggers. Remember that the power exchange is based on consent, communication, and respect.
3. Establish safewords
A safeword is a pre-agreed word or phrase that can be used to communicate a desire to pause or stop the scene immediately. It's essential to establish your safewords with your dom and make sure they know what they mean. In many BDSM encounters, people opt for the traffic light system: "green" for all clear, "yellow" to slow down, and "red" to stop.
4. Experiment with different roles and dynamics
Submissiveness comes in many forms, and it's essential to find the dynamics that work best for you and your partner. You may be interested in serving as a slave, a little, or a pet, each with different rules and power exchange structures. Give yourself permission to explore these roles and find the ones that resonate with you the most.
5. Establish ongoing consent
Consent should be an ongoing conversation between you and your dom. Check in with each other before, during, and after scenes to ensure you're both on the same page and feel comfortable with the experience.
How To Be A Sub BDSM Example:
Imagine a couple, Alex and Jamie, beginning to explore their interest in BDSM. Alex has always been curious about the idea of submission, while Jamie has expressed an interest in being a dominant. They start by reading resources like those available on Filthy Adult, attending a local BDSM workshop, and having in-depth conversations about their desires, preferences, and limits.
The couple agrees on "red," "yellow," and "green" as their safewords, setting the foundation for a safe and consensual power exchange. As they experiment in their new roles, Alex tries different types of submission—acting as a beloved pet one day and as a service-oriented slave on another day. Together, they continue the learning process, improving their communication and understanding of each other's needs and desires.
