What is the importance of a collar in a D/s relationship?

The collar is a physical representation of the bond between a Dominant and a submissive, and it serves as a reminder of the roles and responsibilities each partner has in the relationship.

The collar is more than just a symbol of ownership, it is also a powerful tool for communication in a D/s relationship. Through the wearing of a collar, a submissive can non-verbally communicate their willingness to follow the Dominant's lead. This communication can be important in scenes or play sessions where verbal communication may be difficult or disruptive to the mood.

Additionally, the collar can also be used to indicate a need for attention or assistance. For example, if a submissive is feeling overwhelmed or anxious, they may tug on their collar to signal to their Dominant that they need some reassurance or support. This form of communication can be especially important in high-stress or emotionally charged situations.

The collar can also serve as a reminder of the rules and boundaries that have been established in the relationship. This can be particularly useful if a submissive has a tendency to push boundaries or forgets the agreed-upon rules. The collar can act as a visual cue to remind the submissive of their commitments and responsibilities within the relationship.

It can also be a source of comfort and security for both partners. For the submissive, it provides a sense of safety and protection, knowing that they are under the care and guidance of their Dominant. For the Dominant, it provides a sense of pride and ownership, knowing that they have the trust and devotion of their submissive.

Beyond its symbolic significance, the collar also serves a practical purpose in a D/s relationship. It can be used to communicate non-verbally, signaling the submissive's willingness to follow the Dominant's lead, or to indicate a need for attention or assistance. Additionally, the collar can be used to establish boundaries and reinforce rules, ensuring that the relationship remains safe and healthy for both partners.

The collar can take many different forms, from a simple leather band to an elaborate piece of jewelry. Some collars may be worn only during scenes or play sessions, while others may be worn all the time. The choice of collar and the way it is worn will depend on the preferences of the Dominant and the submissive, as well as the dynamics of their relationship.

It is important to note that the use of a collar in a D/s relationship is consensual and should always be negotiated between the Dominant and the submissive. The submissive should have a clear understanding of what wearing the collar signifies, and should feel comfortable with the idea before agreeing to it.

In conclusion, the collar plays a crucial role in BDSM relationships, serving as a powerful symbol of commitment, trust, and ownership. It is a tangible expression of the connection between Dominant and submissive, and it helps to establish boundaries and reinforce rules. Additionally, the collar can act as a tool for communication, providing non-verbal cues and signals that strengthen the bond between partners. Ultimately, the collar is a key element of the BDSM lifestyle, and its importance cannot be overstated in building safe, healthy, and fulfilling relationships between Dominant and submissive partners.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
