How To Be Submissive BDSM

The world of BDSM is vast and full of excitement for those seeking to experiment and indulge in their kinks. One crucial aspect of BDSM that intrigues many is the concept of submission. Learning the art of submission can lead to a fulfilling and satisfying experience for both you and your partner. In this article, we will explore the fundamentals of being a submissive in BDSM, offering expert advice and practical tips for those embarking on their submissive journey.

Understanding submission in BDSM

In the context of BDSM, submission (often referred to as "subbing") is the act of relinquishing control and authority to a partner, known as the Dominant. The submissive partner willingly gives their consent, trust, and vulnerability to the Dominant to guide them through a potentially intense and pleasurable experience focusing on power dynamics and control.

Consent is the bedrock of all BDSM activities, especially when being submissive. Establishing clear and open communication with your partner is essential in defining boundaries, expectations, and levels of comfort. Discuss your desires, fantasies, and limits openly and honestly before engaging in submissive play. Safe words are crucial for ensuring a consensual and enjoyable experience for both parties involved.

Tips for successful communication:

  • Be honest about your experience level and willingness to learn.
  • Discuss limits, kinks, and interests with your partner.
  • Establish a safeword to communicate when activities should stop or pause.
  • Keep ongoing communication – Check in with each other frequently before, during, and after play.

Familiarizing yourself with common submissive roles

Deciding the type of submissive role you wish to take part in can help guide your experience and communication with your Dominant. Some common submissive roles include:

Slave:

A slave typically serves their Dominant 24/7 and submits to almost all aspects of their life. This role suits those who crave a complete power exchange and are prepared to integrate submission into their daily existence.

Pet/Pony:

Pet or pony play involves the submissive taking on the characteristics of an animal, with the Dominant "owning" and caring for them. This type of play may suit those who find pleasure in receiving attention and care while acting as a pet.

Brat:

A brat is a submissive who enjoys pushing boundaries and being "naughty" to provoke their Dominant. This role may be suitable for individuals who enjoy playful power struggles within their submission.

How To Be Submissive BDSM Example:

An example scenario of submissive play might involve a Dominant instructing their submissive (with prior consent) to wear a specific outfit while performing various tasks they've agreed upon. The Dominant may create rules or punishments meant for the submissive to follow – all within negotiated boundaries. Some individuals enjoy taking things further, with the Dominant controlling different aspects of the submissive's life, such as when they eat or sleep.

As you embark on your journey to discover the enticing world of submission in BDSM, remember that open communication, consent, and trust are the pillars of a successful and enjoyable experience. Don't be afraid to explore within your boundaries and find the ideal submissive role that allows you to express your desires while staying safe.
