Submissive
Bill of Rights
-
I have
the right to set limits, and expect them to be respected.
-
I have
the right to adjust these limits at any time, with notice to you.
-
I have
the right to expect you to push them, to force me to create new limits
and boundaries.
-
I have
the right to privacy.
-
I expect
you to be concerned about time we spend apart, but I expect you to understand
that I am a person, separate from you, and thusly having problems and situations
in my life that I will not need your help with.
-
I have
the right to expect you will respect me for my independence and not criticize
me for it.
-
I have
the right to ask you for help, should I need it.
-
I have
the right to be trusted, providing I have earned it, and I have the right
to expect you to believe I am an intelligent, caring and loyal person.
-
I have
the right to ask things of you, and have you listen to my requests.
-
I have
the right to ask for your attention, without having to misbehave to get
it.
-
I have
the right to ask you to contribute as much to this relationship as I do.
As long as my requests are submitted respectfully, I expect you to consider
them as you would from any friend or colleague.
-
I have
the right to question your motives, should you deny my requests, as long
as I do so with the proper respect.
-
I have
the right to expect you to administer your punishment with care and caution.
-
I have
the right to use my safe words at any point, should I feel them necessary.
-
I have
the right to get up and walk away from a scene if you have crossed the
line.
-
I have
the right to expect you to respect my decisions, and not think less of
me, or abandon me for them.
-
I have
the right to speak up if I feel our relationship is not giving me what
I need.
-
I have
the right to tell you what I need, in a respectful manner.
-
I have
the right to expect you to understand my reasons for doing so, and the
right to expect you to listen with an open mind.
-
I have
the right to walk away from the relationship if we cannot come to a common
ground on these issues.
-
I have
the right to expect tenderness, love and understanding after a scene is
completed, should it be what I desire.
-
I have
the right to ask you for that tenderness if I've had a bad day, or if I
just feel the need for closeness. I understand that there will be times
when you and I will disagree about this - when you will want a scene, and
I will not.
-
I have
the right to call for a talk about this, and to expect you to listen to
and consider my reasoning. I expect you to have the final word, but I expect
you to wholeheartedly consider my feelings, what ever they may happen to
be.
-
I have
the right to expect our relationship to progress, for trust to continually
be renewed, for our souls to be as close as our bodies are.
-
I have
the right to tell you if I need more from you, and I expect you to respect
my decisions about what I want and need. I expect you to want the relationship
to progress, unless decided otherwise before hand. I expect you to understand
that deep trust often breeds love, and I expect you not to repel me if
I tell you that I love you. For, my master, I will love you, should our
relationship move ahead, should our trust continue to grow.
-
I have
the right to expect you to tell me, at any point, if you do not feel you
can return those feelings, so that I may decide what I want and need. For
it is your pleasure that adds to my own, makes it real. And mine, that
adds to yours.
