The Sub World
A sub can be defined as a male or female character who demonstrates submissive personality traits in a BDSM scene or relationship ( known as puppy play) such as agreeableness, empathy, openness, and a desire to cede control. A sub decides to be the bottom to allow the dominant to guide the encounter in a consensual manner. As depicted in books and movies, a sub is not helpless. A sub may be submissive in everyday life, and dom-sub encounters or they may want to show off their submissive traits during consenting sex. What does a sub’s role entail? A sub’s role is to submit to the dominant partner. Some sub enjoys serving their dominant because it gives them pride and pleasure to assist someone else. Others are simply interested in being a sub in the bedroom for sexual thrills. What are the different categories of subs? Because there are so many intricacies and variations, defining what constitute a sub is a challenging task. Each sub is an individual who submits in their way. To address what a sub is, it’s helpful to use broad terms to categorize them. The sub’s categories are not mutually exclusive and are not definitive. They can become a sex slave at one time, at others times, service-oriented! It’s up to you to determine the path and method of submission that works best for you. What does it mean to be a service-oriented sub? A service-oriented sub finds pleasure in helping others. Although this isn’t a rule, these subs tend to have inherently submissive personality types in all aspects of their lives. For example, he enjoys doing basic, boring work and being corrected when he makes a mistake. In the end, this type of submission aids her in developing as a person and overcoming toxic self-harm behaviors that previously served as an outlet for her inner pain. What is a slave sub? This is the apex of a service-oriented sub. A slave appreciates being in a Master/slave relationship, including providing service 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Submission slaves are taught commands and positions and (such as sit, stand, etc.) they are held to a high standard. Any violation of the rules would result in a penalty. In addition, slaves would be subjected to submissive slave training to learn their master’s routines. You can begin exploring in a safe, sane, and consenting manner once you have a general concept of the submissive you want to be. Start playing with a dom who shares your submissive style.
