What Is A Submissive BDSM

 A submissive, commonly referred to as a “sub,” is one who relinquishes control to a dominant partner. The sub’s method of showing devotion to their dominant can be as mild as using honorifics such as “Master” or “Mistress” or as extreme as masochism.

 A BDSM submissive may engage in impact play such as spanking, bondage, or humiliation. Some submissives defer to a dominant partner exclusively during sex, while others live their day-to-day life with a submissive identity.
