BDSM: Submission

Ev

Submission is letting go or surrendering control. The submissive partner in a dominance/submission relationship or scene is called the "sub."

Submissive play can include obeying orders, being bound or tied up, or being pleasured by the dom. Subs might be into the feeling of surrender, or may love relaxing as the other partner takes control.

And of course, submission play is always consensual! Both partners talk before the scene about what will happen and what their boundaries are, and there's always a safe word so the scene can be stopped at any time.
