The Submissive's Creed
author unknown


I will communicate with complete honesty my needs, desires, limits, and experience.

I realize that failing to do so will not only prevent my Master/Mistress and I from having the best experience possible, but can also lead to physical and emotional harm.

I will not try to manipulate my Master/Mistress.

I will not push to make a scene go the way I feel it should.

I will keep an open mind about trying things that I am not accustomed to or comfortable with and expanding my limits.

I will continue to grow as a submissive and as a human being.

I will accept the responsibility of discovering what pleases my Master/Mistress, and will do my best to fulfill His/Her wishes and desires.

I will not allow myself to be harmed or abused, I know that submissive does not equal "doormat".

I will be courteous and helpful to my fellow submissives, I will share my knowledge and experiences with others in the hope that they will learn from where I have been I will take the time to help those new to the scene start out on the correct path.

I will be responsive to my Master/Mistress; I will not try to hide what my mind and body are feeling so that I may assist Him/Her in His/Her responsibilities as my Authority, I know that Dominants are not telepathists, and will not expect my Master/Mistress to know thoughts or feelings which I do not share.

I will never think myself a "better" submissive because I choose to submit on a different level than another.

I will not be boastful of experiences I have had as a sub.

I know that my actions reflect upon my Master/Mistress, and will do my best to help others see Him/Her in a positive way, I will not intentionally embarrass or displease my Master/Mistress.

Above all, I will wear my title of submissive with honor, I will never cause others to think that being submissive means to be weak or subhuman.

I will take pride in who and what I am, and will never show myself in a negative way.
