I'm very interested in talking to other people on here that are submissive.

I'm a mature lady certainly no model but after 34 years of a poor marriage I got involved with fab.

I am a late starter but often wonder why I allow my self to be dominated by people of both sexes.

Iv no agenda here just interested

Your defiantly not fat not all guys think that a slim thin body is sexy to them.

A lovely nice pair of big hanging tits and a nice round arse really gets me going.

Don’t underestimate how sexy you are to lots of people

There are so many facets to a dominant and submissive situation.

Consciously enjoy being used? Feeling pain, being out of control.

Compound that with the subconscious, often not understood aspects of being aroused by things that don't make sense.

Nothing wrong at all with being submissive, wanting to be dominated or used.

I absolutely adore subs who "get off" on being used

My ex partner was very submissive and I struggled to dominate her and properly satisfy her.

In the end she had to find lovers to scratch the itch I just couldnt reach.

I soon became a cuckold and sissy boy, she would meet her lovers and i would clean her up when she got home.

When the relationship ended I found I wanted to experience what she did so I found myself dressing fully in the kind of outfits she would wear.

As soon as im fully dressed im submissive to both sexes, if im in boy mode im still submissive to women most of the time.

How do you feel when your being submissive to someone?

Do you think about it at other times, read stories or look into types of submission that you’ve heard about?

This is a really interesting question.

I think the reasons why a person may be submissive are entirely individual.

I have to be in control in every other aspect of my life so it's nice to relinquish that at times.

I was also heavily involved in the church for many years, submission is part of the territory but sexuality is incredibly repressed so perhaps part of my sub sexual nature is rebellion against the restrictions placed on me by religion?

There are also a couple of experiences I had when I was younger and exploring that could have contributed.

Or, it could just be how I am.

Whatever the reason, if you enjoy it and it's safe and consensual, go for it.

There is no one size fits all reasons why someone is submissive, dominant or switch.

I understand to a point why I am like I am. But there's lots I don't. But then I don't always understand much of what makes me me.

I think when you first start out on your kink journey you tend to overanalyze the why's. So long as you are safe and happy does it really matter?

somewhere only we know.

Over the years I've met women that submit themselves, they've usually had high stress jobs and mostly single. I suppose they just want to let it go and let someone else do it.

As a male sub, I could find a couple of reasons why I like to be submissive.

I am indecisive. I overthink every situation and in the end I am too afraid to make a decision at all. It helps if my partner makes all decisions for me. When I am with a dominant person outside who decides where to go, what to do and where to eat, it takes a huge load of my mind and I feel totally relieved when I am with such a person.

On the sexual side, I went to a school with mostly female teachers who were very strict. I fantasised some of the teachers when I hit puberty. Given the strict nature of their behaviour, it probably became a sexual stimuli for me right from my childhood. Getting punished for making mistakes, compliments when I did the right thing only reinforced it. When I look back, I can well remember one of my frequent masturbation fantasy was to be stripped naked and paraded around the female staff room for each teacher to play with my cock.

So yes. I have been submissive right from my childhood. But was I genetically programmed to like strict women or did any specific incident in my childhood made me that way? I will never know.

Interesting. I think for most people our sexual identity comes from those puberty years, what happens around you there can have a profound effect.

But pinning it down to one thing or another is quite tricky.

I certainly feel more comfortable in the submissive role, but I often think that's because I'm lazy (it's a lot more effort to be dominant!).

So I probably do a 70/30 split, but do enjoy being dominant (to a degree).

I have tried to identify my sexual origins, and can certainly trace a liking of the "stern" woman, but can't see where it started.

Submissive play has taught me a lot about personal boundaries and consequences- or my lack of them. It also revealed how in the wrong hands of so called Dom’s they can take the piss/ abuse that trust I hand over badly.

I took a long hard look at that and concluded that to be truly sexually satisfied it was no longer enough for me to be submissive for the sake of it but I had to be clearer in my head about what I really wanted too/ where my self esteem sat in this and whether I was feeding and nurturing all the parts of me that needed attending to- or whether the price of my submissiveness was more akin to self harm.

I hope that makes even a bit of sense

I’ve been submissive all my life sexually. I’ve a completely confident persona in life and work circumstances but I just have an innate feeling that I need to be controlled. Started to feel it quite young. Wish it wasn’t there sometimes as it wouldn’t cause as much anxiety on the home front.

Submission for me is a rare but wonderful chance to escape from the stresses, strains and responsibility of the real world, for a short while at least. It is such an amazing feeling to have the weight lifted (if only temporarily) from my shoulders. To exist for a period of time within the parallel universe of BDSM where my only stress is a stress position perhaps in predicament bondage. My only worry; Their pleasure. Am I pleasing Them enough? Am I still capable of more?

I crave the chance to give up control. It keeps me on an even keel. I love thrill. I love risk. I adore the `knot in my stomach feeling` that apprehension and anticipation create.

I enjoy the warm feeling I get inside by pleasing someone and their praise feels good too. Suprisingly I actually enjoy being caged when not in use! I love wearing bruises and marks with pride but only where they can't be seen, but 'we' both know that they're there. I like to an extent, pain (but I'm not a mosochist), uncertainty, doubt, threat…. They wouldn't really do that to me…. would they…..?

I enjoy very much the messages, the texts, the chats, then the anticipation and apprehension of the first meet. First meets are amazing! I like rules and I like them to be reinforced. I don't on the whole like choice. I love to be challenged though. It'd be nice to actually find something I don't want to do…. (Ha Ha…. be very careful what you wish for……).

I have to remember to breathe…… Sometimes it takes my breath completely away, this roller coaster ride that I've found myself on. But finally, I've got hold of the brake and it's time to slow down a little. I've had an amazing start, and have played with some very special people. They have each taught me something unique about my kink and more importantly about myself. It's been an amazing twelve years of kink. Couldn't have been better other than it would have been rather nice to share it with just one person: Maybe…… It will be very interesting to see what new experiences are out there. Onwards and upwards.

Please, please don't use kink to "help" with past trauma - it is very dangerous for once wellbeing and can lead to re-traumatising. Best actual help would be to find a mental health professional who specialises in trauma.

I can relate so much to this post. The warm feeling of pleasing a dominant. It doesn’t even have to be sexual. I remember having tasks set and completing them and phoning my Domme with excitement to tell her I’d completed them. It’s like a teacher giving a gold star or praise in class. I don’t even like or seek praise..just that glint you see or change of tone in their voice when You know You have made them happy..I’ve tried switching but felt completely alien to me…

I am having difficulty getting a handle on OP's enquiry.

I distinguisn being a submissive which is a role in a power exchange relationship and being submissive (easily led) which is a personality trait or characteristic.

Unfortunately BDSM and it's terms have become porn categories, so in my understanding being easily led in regard to sex or the bedroom is not being a submissive despite what you see in porn, although it may be submissive behaviour. I would suggest just having sex is not being a submissive, it requires an agreed and negotiated power exchange for it to be a submissive relationship. This requires self reflection,an understanding of self and a consideration of the concept of submission.

The converse applies to being a dominant and being dominant.

There are so many reasons for submissive leanings - just as there are different people. It is a complex question how much it could be related to cultural expectations for women, for example. Hard to say but as a swtich I definitely felt the desire to be submissive more keenly until I did something about it and joined the kink community. In the first few months I found it irritating people asking me if I am dominant because for some reason that was the presumption they made. It is amazing however how that changed once I discovered my penchant for service and it was a slippery slope from there especially as I had a chance to connect and have mutual support to and from other dominant women - I discovered that the biggest hurdle has been lack of skills and competence to dominate others which is completely learned. Of course, some people have very clear inclinations to one or the other and know from young age what they are interested in - and some discover much later in life.

So on one hand, maybe submission felt more "natural" because as a woman I am both expected and permitted to be submissive culturally, not so much being dominant.

I still feel the same desire to be submissive, perhaps even stronger when I have a real chance to expolore it - one of the reasons I had been comfortable to dominate others was due to lesser safety concerns.

When I submit, it is not about being relaxed from daily pressure etc, it is more to do with being helpless and giving up control so power exchange is probably the biggest attraction for me.

As to past experiences etc, I don't know. I have experienced domestic violence in my young years and my own conclusion is that I would have been exploring submmission much earlier if not for that. Or at least that is what I think.

Myriads of reasons really for people, what I would say is probably to make judgements based on how it makes you feel in terms adding something positive to your life. There is only one way to find and it is by trying but of course it is worth seeking insight from others and community learning to help yourself in your self-discovery.

The advice that I followed and that served me well when I started was by Jay Wiseman: time is your friend, don't rush into anything and don't allow yourself to be rushed. Second one is avoid being involved in an exclusive kinky relationship for the first 6 months or a year when you start and explore community events, go to munches etc. This served me extremely well.

One more thing I learned for myself and this was a decision I made not to play with anyone who does not show me the basics of genuine respect and genuine friendly, non-judgemental attitude. This has worked very well together with learning how to vet people and also my already existing experience with manipulators which is very helpful to spot them a mile away and also general luck in being able to avoid predators.

Do I feel frustrated a lot of the time? I sure do and no two ways about it - but the experiences I've had had predominantly been lovely and incredibly fulfilling.

Just my rambling two cents.

Interesting thread.

I've been described as an Alpha male type when in male mode, but when I put on Sara's clothes all that falls away.

I NEED to be sub for whoever wants to use me.

I've no idea why, but it's such a rush.

I would question how you actually could "get a handle" on a question by someone who has just started discovering themselves. A lot of the times it is hard to even know what to ask for example.

Despite various definitions and discussions about what is submissive, what is dominant, what is top, what is bottom etc etc in reality the question is not about what is the Van Twue Vey (red flag incidentally, when anyone approaches a new submissive and tries to tell them but there is only way to experience BDSM) but what x, y, z means to you and what it means to me specifically. Just like many other things, polyamory is a good example. First question to establish is what does it mean to me, how do I want to feel and vice versa. Of course, safety discussions and risk assessment, all of that goes without saying.

Does the mainstream imaging and culture get BDSM wrong? Do they, and how! Fifty Shades of Lies and Abuse comes to mind for one. Porn is a terrible indicator for anything, it can't even get vanilla sex right, let alone anything else!

Kink can be non-sexual and can be exclusively sexual, it is absolutely dependent how the person feels about it.

I'm like that with my partner and Sir. We can be in bed as equals, then one little thing can happen and my whole body and mind change. I find myself asking for Sir or addressing him as Sir. It's that moment, that we switch to Sir and princess and play goes much deeper and I give up all control.

It's not about being lazy, a Dom can instruct his sub to ride him until he says stop. Or try having enforced orgasms so you can't walk cause your legs have turned to jelly. Just some examples of definitely not being lazy

It's not about being lazy, a Dom can instruct his sub to ride him until he says stop. Or try having enforced orgasms so you can't walk cause your legs have turned to jelly. Just some examples of definitely not being lazy

Out of the two of us I (male) tend to be the more submissive of the two. When we play with just the 2 of us we can easily switch depending on our moods. She enjoys being a sub to my Master alter ego and I was regularly pegged by her dominant side.

However, I do feel that the most notable traits become clearer when we've had people join us. When we've had single males over she was fairly sub to both of us but I also found I took a back seat a lot of the time. Aside from letting things go with the flow, the sheer fact that i would indulge in 3somes where the only 2 people fucking were the other guy and my wife, with me getting involved mostly orally on both, meant that i was forming a staunchly sub attitude.

When we've had couples over I've surprisingly demonstrated a more dominant stance, but largely because the other male was either too nervous or wasn't up to par. This is obviously not with every case, but certainly a good few.

I don't know if that's any sort of insight OP, but I find it quite interesting to see how I change when in the bedroom.

I’m submissive, and part of it is that, if he’s in control, that then allows me to fulfil dirty filthy fantasises that I might not let myself enjoy otherwise.

When I’m wrapped up in his arms, unable to move, and I just listen to his voice and give in to the sensation, it’s almost like a meditation, nothing else exists in that moment, it’s bliss.

Hopefully because you enjoy it and not because you’re being coerced.

I’m quite submissive but if some guy wanted to write slut on my forehead he’d better be prepared for me to break his arm after he did it. I don’t like the derogatory submissive stuff where they refer to you as a little slut or other shitty name.

But I love pampering like chucking the guy in the bath and washing his hair and washing his willy and balls.

I also love sleep stuff where the guys sleeping peacefully and I roll him into the recovery position so I can stick my tongue up his arse or roll him on to his back so I can sit on his face, suffocate him with my cunt and look down to watch him struggling to breath.

I’m very caring and loving, it’s just my nature.

I'm in a job where I have to be firm and in control so being a sub is a great release for me plus it has (alongside therapy) helped me heal from a traumatic sexual assault when I was a teenager.

People often don't realise that a sub actually holds a lot of the power. You need to make sure any dom has experience and is a decent person. I had to use my safe word yesterday and immediately my dom stopped, removed the 'props', untied me and held me telling me I was safe

The reasons to submit are as wide as as varied as the number of people who choose to submit; some because of high stress in their day to day lives, some because of adolescent influences, some are from lifestyle choices, some for any number of weird and wonderful reasons. The why is not so much the issue but the how.

How do you submit? And as long as that comes with consent (and a way to remove consent at anytime, for any reason), a clear, open and honest discussion, a pre-agreed framework of boundaries and limits - then how you submit is up to you as well.

I would say that a sub/Dom relationship is not a substitute for professional mental health advice, but given the freedom, the honesty and the absolute safety that an ethical D/a relationship gives - it can open up thought process and realisations that normal talking therapies can’t. D/s is not a form of therapy in itself but it can really bring about a lot of healing, understand and acceptance of past trauma … purely because it is based on acceptance, honesty and putting the submissive’s well being above everything else.

Also being a submissive is not lazy. If someone chooses to submit because they can’t be bothered to do anything else - that is not submission, that is being lazy. Submission is about a power exchange not about power abdication because you can’t be bothered.

Just my thoughts.

I enjoy both sides of my personality when dressed. A guy who’s very macho and hunky, will allow me to express a more submissive feminine persona. In which I can be verbally degraded as well as some bondage and spanking to follow if I trust them implicitly. But that’s the key, not everyone can reach that level of trust I need to allow myself to totally give in to that side of me.

I actually find it easier to be the dominant as I don’t need to give myself to the other person too much. Dominance is an act, submissiveness is a need.

D/s is about trust, honesty and safety - just as you would find with a mental health practitioner. D/s can help some people move past trauma that talking therapies can’t - in a similar way to aversion therapy. It was not suggested that everyone goes out and tries it, but it was given as an example of what can happen as a consequence.

At least that is how I read it, as a consequence of D/s rather than an aim of D/s. It goes without saying that any mental health therapies are done with professional help, however if an unintended positive comes out of it, then surely that is a good thing?

It’s pretty well known to be honest. I don’t think I’ll be corrupting and damaging people across the world, in sharing what is a fairly widely held opinion.

I hear your scepticism, but I know a fair few people who have used it to aid their healing in various areas.

Re-enacting trauma under controlled conditions, with control and support, and dictating the ending of the scene can help heal trauma.

If you fancy treading about it, I would suggest reading Van der Volk, “The body keeps the score”

It’s an excellent read, and based heavily on scientific research.

Trauma at a cellular level what does that actually mean? Seeing as the body renews itself in 7 to 10 years how does the body keep the trauma at a cellular level?

I would think the fact you mention a poor marriage that it's a factor that contributes to you being submissive. I think it's common theme with submissivness for upbringing or previous relationships that had a dominant tone. I include myself in that. I think the more dominant the influence the more extreme is where you feel most comfortable in a sub space sense

For me personally in day to day life I couldn't be more confident. I'm happy..bubbly and have no hesitation in making decisions. In fact I feel more comfortable making all the decisions. In a sexual sense I prefer making none. I like for Sam to have total control. The more extreme the sex and the more degrading it is the more comfortable I am. I get total determination when I'm given instructions. When I get given tasks I follow them to the letter and I'm so proud when I complete them. If for whatever reason they don't I feel so disappointed. More with myself as I like perfection in carrying out my tasks. That maybe the fact in my marriage I couldn't do anything right

I also noticed you called a few males on the thread Sir. I also think it's very important that right is earned and not said to anyone

I also find it interesting that you like to be dominated by both male and female

I have a feeling that you had no control in your life on a large scale. It would be interesting to know if that's right or not

I have only been a submissive for a year and a half and only with Sam. I couldn't even fathom being submissive to anyone else as part of my submission/relationship is total devotion. The start of being a submissive and growth is a very beautiful thing and should be cherished

I'm open for you to chat so message me anytime

"Yes I know that some things in my past and not good things have also contributed

Same OP used kink to move past it. Kink can be used to help with past trauma in some people. Though it may come across as strange it isn't that uncommon.

Please, please don't use kink to "help" with past trauma - it is very dangerous for once wellbeing and can lead to re-traumatising. Best actual help would be to find a mental health professional who specialises in trauma.

I would have to disagree very strongly. If you are very are full on who you choose, a good Dom can certainly help with trauma.

There are several of us who have down this very successfully.

Personally, having had insight from a brilliant mental health professional, I remain extremely sceptical about using BDSM to heal trauma but of course it is your choice. The only thing I would say that maybe it should not be advised publicly to others because it is so dangerous and can cause such serious harm?

D/s is about trust, honesty and safety - just as you would find with a mental health practitioner. D/s can help some people move past trauma that talking therapies can’t - in a similar way to aversion therapy. It was not suggested that everyone goes out and tries it, but it was given as an example of what can happen as a consequence.

At least that is how I read it, as a consequence of D/s rather than an aim of D/s. It goes without saying that any mental health therapies are done with professional help, however if an unintended positive comes out of it, then surely that is a good thing?

As an unintended positive outcome regarding certain mental health issues absolutely, just not clinical trauma as trauma happens on a cellular level and re-enacting it re-traumatises the body again.

But in so many other ways healthy D/s dynamics and self-discovery can contribute to both increased wellbeing and even deep self-fulfillment - I completely agree with that. "

Cellular, can’t see that.

However, there are (in my eyes) two main streams in therapy, cognitive and non cognitive methods.

From my experience, a poor behavioural experience can be cognitively multiplied into something that wasn’t what truly happened, CBT it works in certain types of cases, look at the work of Satir.

CBT can often make this worse, impacting heavily on the experience.

Now non cognitive therapy takes people past the cognitive construct, look at the work of Milton Erickson, and exposes “real” subconscious experience.

Subspace, shuts down cognitive thought, therefore exploring and exposing subconscious events.

Hence, words, events can take you back there, it’s a behavioural stimulus, the more you connect to you subconscious, the more you will be open to this.

Freud would say, it’s sexually moving beyond the guilt of superego (cognitive) into the i.d. (Subconscious) and exposing reality.

Hence the release.

I would have to agree with jersey, just because someone is dominant, it doesn’t make them your Sir, they have to earn that right, and just because you are sub, doesn’t mean you have to do what anyone tells you.

Be very careful about who you submit to, ensure they will listen to your safe words, if anyone who tells you that you don’t need safe words because they are so experienced, run!

Discuss at length, in advance, your limits and boundaries, ensure you feel both seem and heard, and if something bothers you, listen to that niggle.

"I'm in a job where I have to be firm and in control so being a sub is a great release for me plus it has (alongside therapy) helped me heal from a traumatic sexual assault when I was a teenager.

People often don't realise that a sub actually holds a lot of the power. You need to make sure any dom has experience and is a decent person. I had to use my safe word yesterday and immediately my dom stopped, removed the 'props', untied me and held me telling me I was safe"

Perfect response from him. So glad you have that.

Re-enacting trauma under controlled conditions, with control and support, and dictating the ending of the scene can help heal trauma.

If you fancy treading about it, I would suggest reading Van der Volk, “The body keeps the score”

It’s an excellent read, and based heavily on scientific research."

Unless it is done by a trauma therapist, I cannot imagine how it could ever heal rather than be a dangerous risk. Trauma and our response to it affects our brain and body by fracturing our memories and by our bodies remembering it deeply. There are many more people who have much better understanding of this and much better qualified. All I am pointing out, based on attending over a year of mental health workshops by someone whose insight and expertise I highly respect is that re-enacting trauma is very dangerous. It might be fine for a while until it is not fine and a person gets seriously hurt.

Trauma at a cellular level what does that actually mean? Seeing as the body renews itself in 7 to 10 years how does the body keep the trauma at a cellular level? "

Maybe I used a wrong expression, I meant that body remembers.

I maintain that trying to "heal" or "re-enact" trauma using BDSM is very dangerous.

In general, I prefer being with people who are dominant in nature.

I have a strong mind and I need another strong mind to push against, someone who won't collapse if I go too hard.

The reason for me is that I feel incredibly happy when I'm submissive. I think that there are many facets to it.

I probably have a daddy complex which plays into it, though that isn't to say that I'm into age play.

What is very prominent to me is my self doubts and my need for structure. I have to be strong and in control day to day. But I don't achieve the perfection that I strive for and the doubts are nagging me all the time. I also often feel wrong, out of place, at odds with people. And I don't really have a purpose.

With a good dom I feel safe, confident, strong and they give me purpose. They make me feel wanted and valued.

It is just the best feeing in the world.

There and to the left a bit

How've I only just seen this thread? I'm normally drawn to them like a moth to a flame

And what an interesting and thought provoking read it has been, so thanks to all that contributed so far.

Personally my submissive side is a very innate thing that has been there as long as I can remember, I just didn't recognise it for what it was until I was in my thirties because I didn't have the knowledge to understand it and know what it was, whether it is a natural thing, or something shaped by early experiences I don't know, but I can certainly identify specific senses and feelings, that I now know were submissive in nature, going way back.

I think some of it comes down to never having been particularly self-confident, so ceding control to others who are has given me a freedom of sorts from what is lacking in myself.

That said I am no pushover either and will stand my ground and be quite assertive when it's called for.

I think there's also an element of wanting to please that comes into play, I'll invariably put others before myself for example.

Whatever it is, I embrace it and am completely comfortable with it - yet at the same time I guard my submission and won't just give it to anybody calling themselves dominant - in fact in the twenty odd years I've recognised my submissive side, I have only come across a handful of people that truly make me *feel* submissive and have very limited actual experience of adopting that role - not because I couldn't find it, but because I have chosen not to give it unless I am absolutely sure of myself about wanting to.

Very well written and described Gemini. Shame you're not wanting to meet at the moment. I think you and my Sir would get on really well. Especially if English Rose leaves the room and princess joins in.
