What is submiss?

ion

Submission can refer to the act of yielding or surrendering to a higher authority or power. It can also refer to the act of presenting or submitting something for consideration, such as a piece of writing or a proposal.

In BDSM, submission refers to a consensual power exchange dynamic in which one partner (the submissive) willingly surrenders control and authority to another partner (the dominant). This can involve physical acts of domination and submission, such as bondage and discipline, as well as psychological domination and submission, such as verbal humiliation and obedience.

Submission can also be a spiritual or philosophical concept, particularly in Eastern religions like Buddhism and Taoism, where it refers to the importance of surrendering the ego and embracing humility and servitude in order to achieve enlightenment or spiritual growth.

Overall, submission can have different meanings depending on the context and can range from a negative connotation of oppression and subjugation to a positive and empowering practice of consensual submission in BDSM or spiritual surrender.
