About

Submission is the counterpart to domination and is often found in dungeons and other BDSM scenes as submitting to domination by bondage, verbal commands or gestures. Ways of showing submission may include kneeling, licking the feet of the dominant partner, using a submissive tone of voice and referring to ones self as inferior in a variety of ways. In some relationships, the submissive partner gives up some or all personal responsibility over his own life to the dominant partner. Some find submission an act of ultimate trust, some a way of feeling taken care of, and some find submission to be sexual in nature.
