Question
What exactly does submission mean? What doea it entail. By my question u can tell im new to this. I really appreciate u helping me with this.

Answer
We define Dominant / submissive (D/s)  as:

    Dominance (also called Domination) - In terms of BDSM [Bondage � Discipline � Sadism � Masochism] and D/s, this term refers to taking control of a person or situation through usage of some means (such as physical, mental, financial, etc), or to exercise this power. A person who exercises this power on a regular basis, outside of BDSM scenes, is called a Dominant; the gender specific titles being Dom or Master for a man, Domme, Mistress, or Dominatrix for a woman.

     submission - In BDSM and D/s, this refers to the act of yielding to something or someone; also refers to the state of submitting. This may be through the manipulation of a Dominant or Top. Typically, someone who submits on a regular basis, outside of a BDSM scene, is referred to as a submissive. Submissives who submit to an extreme degree are called slaves.   

This is from  Domsub.info.



submissive   -- In D/s relationships, a submissive is a person who retains freedoms and rights, but submits or potentially submits to another in areas wider than BDSM scenes. Within a BDSM only context submissive is synonymous with 'bottom'. Submissives can vary in how serious they take their position, training, and situation. I enjoy 24/7 that I never come out of the mode.  I am a sub and there is no changing that in my.  I do not care what others think, I enjoy who I am.

thank you doe the question I hope this has helped.
