If you are a submissive and these strike you negatively you should rethink your self-classification as a submissive. THESE ARE VERY BASIC TO THE LIFESTYLE.

It is fine to just like rough sex. Remember just because your top picks up a paddle or cane does not make them a Dominant. Just because your bottom receives punishment, pain or follows some instruction does not make them a submissive. There is an art to submission and an art to Dominance. It does not matter if your Dominant is a lifelong friend, best friend, guy, gal, boyfriend, girlfriend, husband, wife or child’s parent if you gave them your submission they are first and foremost your Dominant and should be treated as such. If you are the submissive in the relationship be that. If you want your dynamic to be strong strive to play the role well. These are basics. If you think you are actually a submissive but can’t see yourself doing these things for your Dominant. Then move on. You’re in the wrong relationship or lifestyle. If you feel like this is bullshit then I hope you don’t have submissive listed in your bio. If you do then you’re doing it wrong. If you are striving to submit to another without these basic signs of respect being present then you’re doing it wrong. The Dominant leads and the submissive follows.
