-=DOMINANT'S CREED=- |
"Above all else a Dom/me cherishes Their submissive, in the knowledge that the gift the submissive gives T/them is the greatest gift of all"
"A Dom/me is in control of T/themselves first and foremost, so that T/they may control others. "
"As the consummate lover, T/they will then kiss the tears away, without stepping out of character."
"A Dom/me is quick to understand the differences between fantasy and reality."
"To win a submissive's mind, body, spirit, soul, and love, a Dom/me knows T/they must first win their trust."
"A Dom/me must always show them that T/their guidance and tutoring is knowledgeable and deserving of their attention, that this is a person they can learn from, and that they can trust T/their direction."
"A Dom/me proves to their submissive that T/they are someone they can lean on, and depend on."
"A Dom/me will accept no flaw. Nothing less than perfection from T/their student."
"A Dom/me is always open to communication and discussion; always ready to hear T/their submissive's wants and needs."
"A Dom/me never has to demand ritual behavior from T/their submissive. T/their submissive responds to T/them out of the want of pleasing T/them. Compliance comes from the wanting to please, not the fear of punishment."
"A Dom/me is secure enough to laugh at T/themselves and the absurdities of life. Open minded enough to learn new things. Strong enough to grow."
"A Dom/me understands that E/each partner gains most from pleasuring the O/other." |
-=The submissive's Creed=- |
"I will communicate with complete honesty my needs, desires, limits, and experience. I realize that failing to do so will not only prevent my Top and I from from having the best experience possible, but can also lead to physical and emotional harm."
"I will keep an open mind about trying things that I am not comfortable with and expanding my limits. I will continue to grow as a submissive and as a human being."
"I will not allow myself to be harmed or abused. I know that submissive does not equal doormat."
"I will be responsive to my Top. I will not try to hide what my mind and body are feeling so that I may assist them in their responsibilities as my authority. I know that Dominants are not telepaths, and will not expect my Top to know thoughts or feelings which I do not share."
"I will give my gift of submission only to those that can responsibly accept and desire to receive. I will not place anyone in the position of Topping me non-consensually, nor will I give my respect to someone that has not earned it."
"I know that my actions reflect upon my Top, and will do my best to help others see them in a positive way. I will not intentionally embarrass or displease my Dominant." |
-=Ten Rules For Dominants=- |
1. Be PatientYou may be God's/Goddess' gift to the world, but no one needs to hear it or wants to hear it. You will have ample opportunities to show how good you are - and plenty of opportunities to make a fool of yourself. No matter what you claim, the "real you" will show through in a scene. Don't set yourself up for a failure by developing expectations that you know you can never reach.
3. Be OpenYou are responsible for finding out basic, essential information about the people you play with, such as experience, limits, likes and dislikes, and health information. Playing D/s-SM without this knowledge is like Russian roulette. Talk about your head-space and your view of D/s-SM with your bottom, so that any uncertainties can be dealt with before you start playing. Clearly spell out roles, rules, limits, and contracts. Do not take for granted that your bottom instinctively knows the ground rules.
5. Be HonestThere's a very fine line between a sensitive, caring dominant and a self-righteous, insensitive overbearing clod. Your scene should be a creative synthesis of your needs and fantasies and your bottom's needs and fantasies. Although, on the surface, your submissive is serving you, what actually is happening is that dominant and submissive are serving each other. Earn the complete trust of your submissive and never violate or even threaten to violate that trust. His or her submission is a gift to you. Use it appropriately.
7.Be RealisticSubmissives are looking for someone who will take over their body and mind, not just for brute strength. Real people are wanted, not just cardboard images from cigarette ads or macho stereotypes. Your dominance enhances your whole existence. It does not cover up or substitute for other areas of your life - it is you. Make your submissive fall in love with you, and expect him or her to give him/herself up to you totally. Follow up on rules, expect obedience, and punish appropriately when it is called for. Don't shirk your responsibility to your bottom or to your sister/fellow tops. Be dependable and expect dependability. You have agreed to take the dominant role - now take it!
9. Be HealthyAfter all, sex is all about having a good time. You have earned, and you are entitled to the unique, intense pleasures which come from responsible, creative SM play. |
-=Ten Rules For submissives=- |
1. Be PatientYou may be God's or Goddess' gift to the world and the most sought after prize in town, but no one needs to hear it or wants to hear it. You will have ample opportunity to show how good you are. No matter what you claim, the "real you" will show through in a scene. Don't set yourself up for failure by developing expectations that you know youand your top can never reach.
3. Be OpenVerbalization is necessary, but at the appropriate time and in the appropriate way. Your top needs to know basic information about you, such as experiences, fantasies, health concerns, and turn-offs. But - unless it's an emergency - wait until your top asks. Don't expect your dominant to be a mind-reader who instinctively knows your needs, wants, and limits. Your cooperation will enhance the scene for both of you.
5. Be HonestYour scene is a two-way street. It is not just the physical realization of your prior fantasies. If you want to limit your experience to certain physical and psychological stimulation, then contract with your top ahead of time. But don't always expect your top to be a puppet in a fantasy play you've written in your head. It's far better to let your top surprise you, to extend your limits, to take you to places you're never been before. When you trust your top completely, let her or him know it, and let him or her guide you into new fantasies.
7.Be RealisticThis is the whole point. Let your dominant take you over completely. Don't coach or second guess or be critical of your top. Exchange information on your special needs before the scene starts, but once it starts be quiet! If you insist on running a scene to your own specifications, then you should try being a top. You have agreed to limitations of your own power. Stay within those limitations. Respect and obey your top and expect punishment if you don't. Accept it gracefully and cheerfully. Your top has many things to be concerned with, including your safety and what turns you on. Be loyal and dependable and enjoy your role!
9. Be HealthyAfter all, sex is all about having a good time. You have earned and you are entitled to the unique, intense pleasure which comes from responsible, creative D/s-SM play.. |
-=9 Levels Of Submission =- |
Within the S/M subculture, different people use the words "submissive and slave" to mean many different things. When submissives say "I want to be your slave," sometimes they mean only that they want to be tied up and whipped. Many professional dominants routinely refer to their (usually _not_ very genuinely submissive clients) as "slaves." At the other extreme, there are people who want to be full-time personal servants, and who truly want to exist solely for their Dom(me)'s use, pleasure and convenience. And there are many shades in between these two extremes.Not into servitude, humiliation or giving up control; just pain and/or spiced-up sensuality, on the masochist's own terms and for the masochist's own direct pleasure (i.e. turned on solely/mainly by one's own bodily sensatons rather than by being "used" to gratify one's partner's sadism).
2. PSEUDO-SUBMISSIVE NON-SLAVE.Likes to play at being a slave; likes to feel subservient; may in some cases like to feel one is being "used" to gratify partner's sadism; may even really serve the dominant in some ways, but only on the "slave's" own terms. Dictates the scene to a large degree; often fetishistic (e.g. foot worshippers).
4. TRUE SUBMISSIVE NON-SLAVE. Really gives up control (though only temporarily; only during brief "scenes" and within limits) and gets main satisfaction from serving/being used by dominant-but only for FUN purposes, usually erotic. May/may not be into pain. If so, is turned on by pain indirectly, i.e. enjoys being the object of one's partner's sadism, on which the submissive places very few requirements or restrictions.
6. UNCOMMITTED SHORT-TERM BUT MORE THAN PLAY SEMI-SLAVE.Has an ongoing commitment to an owner/slave relationship and regards oneself as the dominant's property at all times. Wants to obey and please dom(me) in all aspects of life-practical/non erotic and fun/erotic. Devotes most of time to other commitments (e.g. job) but Dom(me) has first pick of the slave's free time.
8. FULL-TIME LIVE IN CONSENSUAL SLAVE.A common fantasy ideal which probably doesn't exist in real life (except in authoritarian religious cults and other situations where the "consent" is induced by brainwashing and/or social or economic pressures, and hence isn't fully consensual). A few S/M purists will insist that you aren't really a slave unless you're willing to do absolutely anything for your Dom(me), with no limits at all. I've met a few people who claimed to be no-limit slaves, but in all cases I have reason to doubt the claim. |
-=On Line Protocol=- |
|
NOTE: The following is a general basis for "On Line Rule". Each Dominant/Master will change the rules to His/Her own accord, so please verify each rule with your own so there is no confusion later in time.
A Dominant/Master is to be greeted first upon entering a chat room, then a submissive, then any non lifestyles.
If a Dominant/Master and submissive are together in a chat room, it is proper for another Dominant/Master to ask permission to speak to the submissive, prior to engaging in a personal open conversation or private IMs.
It is proper for a submissive to have her/his IM turned off when in a chat room without the Dominant/Master present unless she/he is in a private conversation with one that she has been granted permission to do so by her/his own Dominant/Master in advance.
When using other message programs such as ICQ or MSN for example, it is proper for any other male/female other then the submissive's own Dominant/Master, to seek permission from her/his Dominant/Master to be on a submissive's list.
A submissive shall always go to her/his Dominant/Master with relationship questions or if she does not have a Dominant/Master , she is to ask such questions in open room and not in a private message with exception to her/his Mentor or Protector.
Both Dominant/Masters and submissives shall always keep the trust placed in them intact by not placing themselves in a position to be questioned.
A submissive is not required to seek permission to enter a room other then by her/his own Dominant/Master as in Gorean lifestyle unless required by her/his own Dominant/Master.NOTE: In some chat rooms it is improper for a committed submissive to speak without permission of the Dominant/Master. |
