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

In This Article:

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.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
