Those little submissive gestures...

[Freya_Gin]

...Mean a lot, don't they? My sub greeting me by kissing my feet three times each, for starters. Kissing the implement that I just used to hurt or punish the sub with. My favorite though is my sub offering his or her tongue to me, even when I'm doing something to hurt the sub, like twisting a nipple or when yanking his or her head back by the hair.

So what are your favorite submissive gestures? I'm always looking for new ideas.

Personally I've always found the best gesture is a private and personal one, the action itself entwined within the meaning behind it.

As an example. Many years ago a play partner of mine would show me their affection and obeisance by closing her eyes and mouthing or whispering a Swahili word that had huge impact and meaning to us both. She was never asked or directed to do this, hinted or otherwise. Such a gesture was not just submissive, it was empowering... and would have my heart and lust soar so high it could almost paralyze me.

-Mzee.

when she says so

First of all, what an interesting topic.

As an occasional submissive to my incredible woman, submissive gestures come and go with various play sessions. We do have a few that seem to hang around, though. Some that remain as part of our ongoing relationship involve signals to let the other person know when one of us is in the mood for power exchange play. We have a number of them for that purpose, but two seem to be what we most commonly use.

If she is in the mood to be a domme, she leaves a leather rawhide shoelace, like you would use for a work boot, coiled up on my dresser. If I am receptive to her desire (which I almost always am, the exception being if I am not feeling well or am especially fatigued from work, etc) I tie the piece around my waist under my clothes. When she notices it is gone from my dresser, she initiates play at any time, usually beginning with tying things to the piece and then to various parts of me.

If I am in the mood, I hang a back scratcher on our bedroom doorknob by the piece of rope attached to its handle. If she chooses to accept my request, the back scratcher will disappear, after which I know that at any time play will commence. Sometimes, being the devious domme that she is, she will let it hang there for a few days, sometimes as much as a week, before it disappears – not because she isn’t in the mood for play, but because she is more in the mood for mind games, like making me wait, wondering if she has lost interest.

Once a play session starts, regardless of who makes the request, it only ends when she says so.

Submissive language is the best gesture. It doesn't have to be much, just the right word or phrase at the right moment. Even the simple act of addressing the dom as "boss", or "master", or whatever expresses the relationship, can communicate so much.

Yes I quite agree, just "yes MASTER" pleases my MASTER
