A person who consensually yields control to a dominant partner within agreed limits.
A submissive, often shortened to sub, is the partner who consensually gives up a degree of control in a power exchange. Submission can be sexual, behavioural or emotional, and ranges from light play to deeper dynamics. Crucially, the submissive holds real power: they set limits and can stop everything with a safeword. Submission is an active choice and a gift of trust, not weakness, and a healthy dynamic depends on the dominant honouring that trust.
