What are the Different Types of Submission in BDSM?
A lot of people only know about forced submission, which is probably the most stereotypical type of submission.
But there are a lot more types, such as:
Service Submission
Service submission isn’t always sexual. It usually refers to submissives who help their Dominant in some way. Domestic service is the most popular type, which includes cooking, cleaning, laundry, etc. A service submissive, may also do your taxes, mow your lawn, clean your pool, repair your car, and so on.
Sexual Submission
This describes a large number of submissives. Taking requests and being useful might be viewed as sexual submission. However, with some resistance and having your Dominant strive for your submission, it might be more primal. And, as is typically the case, it may be anywhere in the middle.
Forced Submission
Some submissives don’t want to be asked—they want to be forced. They want it taken, and they will instigate force if necessary. They’re submissive in the “Make me” sense.
Smart-Assed Masochist (SAM)
Not all masochists are SAMs. But you can identify a SAM by their clear attempts at upsetting their Dominant. Some SAMs are motivated by punishment, whereas others are motivated by pain.
Littles
In the little category, you’ll find a huge range of types: baby girls, baby boys, age players, middles, etc. Their Dominant is a Caregiver, even if they don’t take a Mommy or Daddy title. A little wants or needs to be nurtured, taken care of, and, sometimes, be completely free of responsibility for a period of time.
Slaves
A slave is someone who surrenders many aspects of their life to their Master. Their Master decides on things like when to eat, what to eat, when to use the restroom, and when to talk. Other slaves may have less outward actions, but a slave heart. Slaves, more than other forms of submissives, are more willing to surrender their personal power to their Dominant.
Furries
Furries may be primal and enjoy primal play (based more on who’s stronger and Alpha, and it’s more animalistic play) or they may, like littles, take on characteristics of specific animals. No, this isn’t about bestiality, just as little isn’t about pedophilia.
But animals can’t speak and can only do what their Dominant lets them do. Or not, as the case may be.
Animals have minds of their own, and so do furries. Not all are docile and quick to obey. Kittens and puppies are most common in furries but definitely not the only options.
Internet Submission
Internet submission is the type of submission where a person obeys the Dominant who could be at the other side of the country, or even in another continent. Internet Submission is not to knock on people who haven’t experienced submission in the “real” world. For some, this is all they want, and for others, they haven’t had the opportunity to do more than this.
