Submitting to Pain

By nan {SL} on September 1, 2010

BDSM immediately conjures up images of a whip-wielding Dominatrix punishing some poor submissive who is screaming in pain. As delightful as that image is, not everyone who is a bottom or submissive is in this lifestyle to experience pain. It must be daunting for the newbie who does not enjoy pain to come to a [...]

Processing Pain and Being a Masochist

By lunaKM on February 3, 2010

Being that I’m a masochist, I love pain. I’ve never really thought about it or analyzed what that means really, but reading other people’s blogs has always helped me see that saying I’m masochist is just another huge personal term in BDSM as a whole. So, to think it though, this is what being a [...]

The Top 30 Posts of 2009

By lunaKM on January 5, 2010

A year ago I started a small blog project called Submissive Guide. I wanted it to be an organized place where I could voice my opinions about submission, help novices discover who they are and explore BDSM through the written word. Since that time it has grown to so much more, including an e-book, a [...]

Submissive and Slave: A Personal View

Submissive and Slave: A Personal View

By Rayne on November 11, 2009

This post was written by Rayne. You can follow her twitter for active and interesting conversation. I’m pretty big on book definitions. So for me, the word “submissive” has always been an adjective describing a personality trait. When I got involved in BDSM, it became, for me, a heading, of sorts, describing a group of [...]

The Many Layers of Sub Space

By lunaKM on October 17, 2009

This week’s video post is about sub space. When you first heard about sub space it was probably something that you either thought you’d never experience or something that seemed so strange and foreign that you believed it to be a myth. Then you heard the stories and could swear that people were on drugs [...]

My Submission is Better Than Your Submission

My Submission is Better Than Your Submission

By lunaKM on August 24, 2009

Competition is human nature. From the time we are children we start to see who is ‘better’ and hopefully that is you. It could be as simple as having more ice cream than your sibling thus making you better or getting the best grade on a test, making you better than everyone else in the [...]

What’s the Difference Between a Lifestyler and a Player?

By lunaKM on June 20, 2009

This week’s video is about definitions of a lifestyler and a player. I received the following question via email the other day and thought I would cover it here in a video post. I’m in a D/s relationship where we tend to do most of our activities behind closed doors. Outside we are a normal [...]

Can I Be Abused in a BDSM Relationship?

By lunaKM on June 2, 2009

This week’s video post is about BDSM vs. Abuse. A BDSM relationship, especially one with sadomasochistic moments, is subject to questions all the time about it’s proximity to abuse. It is not uncommon to have people unfamiliar with BDSM to say that what we do is abuse and violence; we see it all the time [...]

By lunaKM on May 26, 2009

This week’s video post is about maintenance spankings. Maintenance spankings are a way to keep the relationship fresh, revive the roles on a regular basis and to not let life away from the dynamic interfere with what your relationship goals are. A maintenance spanking can be anything from a scheduled night of the week where [...]

Do I have to Like Pain to be Submissive?

By lunaKM on May 12, 2009

  This week’s video post is about masochism and submission. I mentioned this in the post about myths that submissive’s aren’t always masochist. I thought this topic deserved a more in depth discussion. I’m a masochist. I get sexual pleasure from pain. That’s wired into me. I’m also submissive. It’s who I am. For me, [...]

All Female Submissives are Bisexual and Other BDSM Myths

By lunaKM on May 9, 2009

The world is full of false truths. These false truths tend to be the assumptions of the uninformed or the beliefs of those who want to scare novices out of their wits. Many of these are because of a narrow view of the world or an inability to accept varying viewpoints. In this post I’m [...]

I write this guide in my perspective and provide my mentorship and guidance with these terms clearly defined for [...]

The Meaning Behind Service and Serving

The Meaning Behind Service and Serving

By lunaKM on December 22, 2008

When someone becomes a submissive for the first time and finds a dominant the first words I generally hear them say is that they like being of service or they like serving. When asked what it is about service that they enjoy it tends to boil down to sex and play. There is far more [...]

Discovering Your Submissive Nature

Discovering Your Submissive Nature

By lunaKM on December 20, 2008

Discovering your submissive nature isn’t always a sudden process. For many people it takes some soul searching to see that you may enjoy being a people-pleaser or that when someone asks you to do something you happily do it without a second thought. For others it takes some social reprogramming to allow your full nature [...]
