Submissive
You want to let go.
You find freedom in following — surrendering control to someone you trust and letting them take the lead.
In practice
In practice, a Submissive finds release in following someone else’s lead — taking direction, letting a trusted partner set the pace, and letting go of decisions for a while. That can be as simple as deferring on small choices during a scene or as deep as structured protocol outside one, but the common thread is trust: submission only works when it’s given freely, to someone who’s earned it. For many Submissives, the headspace itself — the quiet that comes from not having to decide — is as much the point as anything physical.
Also called: sub, boy, girl, pet, slave
