The Art and Power of Submission
What’s submission exactly?
Submission is part of the larger BDSM family - defined as bondage and discipline (B&D), dominance and submission (D&S), and sadism and masochism (S&M). Dominance and submission is intentional play with consensual power exchange that may or may not hold elements of B&D or S&M. This means each dominant/submissive relationship has distinct frameworks, protocols, rituals, boundaries and limits. These are collaboratively and consensually decided by those within the D&S relationship, making their interaction unique. In most cases, the dominant and the submissive are a match and are able to deeply satisfy one another’s needs in specific ways.
What type of person is a submissive?
Submissive’s are special people. When someone chooses to submit, they are handing over power to another. This automatically involves several important elements of play - trust, consent, care, safe word, and surrender. Because safety is present and responsibility is handed over, the submissive is able to completely let go of decision-making, worries about life events, concern for others, and a wide range of other psychological binds. The submissive tends to be someone who seeks freedom through allowing another to take charge of defined areas of their life for a set period of time.
What does the submissive experience?
This role is inherently freeing and brings the submissive completely into their own elemental presence. And because the submissive can stop play at any time through the use of a safe word, they are in complete charge of the interaction, which enables deeper surrender into their freedom. Nearly always the submissive partner experiences deep relaxation, considerable satisfaction, greater connection to self, improved clarity, and a range of other very liberating states.
