One month into my first real time D/S relationship: A Training Review

By Guest Author on November 16, 2009

This is a Guest Post by A. She is a new submissive in her first 24/7 dynamic. I received this wonderfully written review of her first 30 days and she offered to share it with everyone here. Enjoy! It has come to my attention after reading submissiveguide.com that my training with Sir has already begun, [...]

When Protocol Becomes Boring

When Protocol Becomes Boring

By lunaKM on October 21, 2009

Protocol. It can be a scary word if you are new to submission. In a relationship, it is likely that you will have some protocol established to control your behavior. So, what is protocol? Simply defined, protocol is the set of special rules that you follow for defined situations that remind you of your place [...]

Is It Submission If You Like What You’re Doing?

By lunaKM on October 12, 2009

I love surfing the submissive blogs to see what other people are talking about. Many times it gives me something to talk about here on this site. This post is one such example. Over on Underhishand.com, kaya asked about submission and what qualifies it as submission. She asked if you are not expected to do [...]

Help Submissive Guide Raise $1000 for NLA-I DVP for National Domestic Violence Awareness Month

By lunaKM on October 2, 2009

It’s important to have a cause you believe in, for me it’s the National Leather Association-International Domestic Violence Project. Their cause to bring awareness of the differences in BDSM and abuse as well to help victims of domestic violence in BDSM-related relationships find assistance and get help really provide a service that you can’t get [...]

Exploring Your Place in BDSM Play

Exploring Your Place in BDSM Play

By lunaKM on September 23, 2009

Submission during play can be overwhelming. How do you understand what you might like? What about the buzz words of subspace and sub drop? One of Submissive Guide’s goals is to help novice submissives understand BDSM and their place in it. To help you begin your exploration I’ve put together a list of the posts [...]

Handling an Addiction While in Service

By lunaKM on July 28, 2009

Those of you who read my blog already know this, but for most of you this will be news. I have an addiction. At the end of last month I came to the realization that I am a binge eater and secret eater. I’m addicted to food and the way it makes me feel. While [...]

This Collar, That Collar, Your Collar, My Collar

By lunaKM on June 17, 2009

A collar for submissives is one of the most fundamental symbols of their relationship and one that is usually gaurded and protected with their heart.  With all the essays online about collars I thought I’d jump in with my own take on what everyone says and believes about collars. Play Collars The first type of [...]

RACK: An Alternative to SSC

By lunaKM on February 23, 2009

In a previous post I talked about Safe, Sane and Consensual or SSC, a safety mantra that quite a bit of the BDSM community has picked up as a way to explain ourselves to non-lifestyle people. It’s an easy way to explain what can’t really be explained. I don’t intend to make this a primer [...]

A Submissive Approach to Safe, Sane and Consensual

A Submissive Approach to Safe, Sane and Consensual

By lunaKM on February 2, 2009

When you first enter the more public BDSM community one of the largest catch phrases you will here is SSC, also known as Safe, Sane and Consensual. It is a security blanket approach to safety when playing and negotiation of play. As a submissive, you have a lot of responsibility to keeping yourself safe and [...]

The Nitty Gritty of the BDSM Lifestyle

By lunaKM on December 20, 2008

There are so many primers out there about BDSM I’m not sure if another one is really needed. Then again with all the basic questions asked on forums and chat rooms about BDSM it’s unlikely that my words will not be read by someone and that they will take something new from them. BDSM is [...]
