| submissive's Rights |
Perhaps you�re new to the lifestyle and not sure of your submissive role, and the rights you have. Especially as it pertains to interacting with Dominants. Even if you�re experience is limited, you�ve undoubtedly noticed that many Dominants can be rather demanding, intimidating, and keenly aware of the fact that you are both new, and as a submissive, possibly prone to �influence�.
Whether in RL or online, there are always Dominants that actively seek out newer submissives, in hopes that they are unaware of their rights. Online that kind of Dominant might be considered a �troll�. In RL They are considered predators, lurking around play parties or munches hoping to find an unescorted and impressionable submissive.
Keeping in mind that you are always ultimately responsible for your own safety, your best defense against being mistreated or taken advantage of, is knowledge. And so, I present for you here, a listing of your rights as a submissive. Know them, and don�t be hesitant to use them.
I understand that not all submissives feel comfortable standing up for themselves. At least in knowing your rights, you may be able to look for assistance when needed. In RL, there is always a Dungeon Master or some other sort of authority for your protection. In a chat room, there are hosts. They are there for a reason, for your protection. Don�t hesitate to call upon them if needed.
Your rights as a submissive include, but are not limited to:
� The right to say �No�
� The right to feel safe and secure
� The right to be free from unwanted attentions
� The right to express your opinion
� The right to decide for yourself Who you choose to submit to
� The right to decide what areas of your life you choose to offer in submission
� The right to be treated with courtesy and respect
� The right to have your submission valued and cared for
This is a short list, and does not come close to identifying all your rights. But within those that are listed, you should find the ability to handle most any situation that may arise, online, or in RL.
