Top Tips for Establishing Dominance with a Submissive

In the world of BDSM, Dominants often encounter submissives with varying degrees of experience and emotional baggage. Some may be new to the dynamic, while others carry scars—both emotional and psychological—from past relationships or inadequate mentorship.

Submissives often react in one of two ways: hostility or avoidance. The aggressive ones might seem confrontational, but this is usually a defense mechanism stemming from fear or mistrust. Avoidant submissives, on the other hand, may appear polite yet keep you at arm’s length, avoiding deeper connections.

So how does a Dominant build a meaningful relationship with such individuals? Here’s what I’ve learned over the years through personal experience and the advice of others in the community.


Dealing with Aggression or Avoidance

If a submissive displays aggression, patience is critical. It’s essential to understand that this behavior often masks fear. Responding with calmness and consistency can help break through their defenses.

On the flip side, avoidant submissives require a different approach. Rushing to establish authority or demanding obedience can make them withdraw further. Instead, use subtle, respectful strategies to gain their trust over time.


Building Connection: Key Steps

  1. Show Genuine Interest:
    Engage with your submissive as a whole person, not just someone fulfilling a role. Take time to learn about their interests and values. Avoid prying into their past relationships too early—it’s often a sensitive topic best left for when mutual trust has developed.
  2. Prioritize Emotional Connection:
    Many submissives value the emotional and spiritual aspects of the relationship. Discuss their hobbies, ask about their favorite books, and explore topics that genuinely interest them.
  3. Practice Honest and Clear Communication:
    Honesty builds trust. Share your expectations and listen to theirs. Avoid long-winded explanations—submissives often appreciate clarity and conciseness.
  4. Remember the Details:
    Pay attention to what your submissive shares. Recalling small details can significantly impact your relationship, showing that you value their words and experiences.
  5. Avoid Comparisons:
    Discussing past relationships or former submissives can harm your connection. Focus on the present and the person in front of you.
  6. Use Humor to Connect:
    A light-hearted, playful tone can disarm many insecurities. Double entendres and clever wordplay often work wonders.
  7. Choose Neutral Meeting Places:
    When meeting in person, suggest a casual setting like a park. Open, comfortable environments make it easier to discuss personal topics.

Online Communication: Strategies for Success

Many relationships in the BDSM community begin online. Before messaging a potential submissive, review their profile. Look for shared interests and craft a personalized, respectful opening message.

Remember:

  • Start conversations based on mutual interests.
  • Keep messages concise and grammatically correct.
  • Avoid being overly forward in your first few interactions.

Social media profiles also play a role in first impressions. A well-maintained account—featuring tasteful images, relevant posts, and no explicit content—demonstrates maturity and respectability.


What If They Avoid Meeting?

It’s common for submissives to take time before meeting a Dominant in person. This period of virtual interaction often lasts between three and seven days, but some may extend it longer due to personal insecurities or unresolved issues.

If a submissive consistently avoids meeting without explanation, consider two possibilities:

  1. They may not be ready for a real-life dynamic.
  2. They could be uncertain about their interests or priorities.

In such cases, patience and honesty are crucial. If the submissive remains evasive despite your best efforts, it might be time to move on.


Final Thoughts

The process of taming and guiding a submissive is not about immediate results. Every person is unique, with their own pace of adaptation. Younger or less experienced submissives may be more open to learning, while those with previous relationships may carry habits and emotional scars that require time to address.

Building trust and fostering growth in a BDSM dynamic takes effort, understanding, and respect. With persistence and care, the rewards are immense—a fulfilling connection where both partners thrive.

As someone who has navigated this journey for years, I can confidently say that a patient, respectful Dominant will always have the most success in this delicate and rewarding process.
