✨🥀 Collaring ⛓ 🖤 Collars and collaring are common practice in the BDSM community. It is usually associated with a power dynamic such as a Dom x Sub, Owner/Master/Mistress x Slave. People wear them for a variety of reasons and they mean something different in each unique relationship between unique peoples. Collars can be worn by doms or subs. They can show ownership, devotion, or subservience, and can be as meaningful as a wedding ring. They can be essential for some kinds of BDSM lifestyles, or just add spice to an already fun, kinky session. Wearing a collar and the act of collaring different. Collaring refers to the act of a submissive being presented with something more permanent. It is ALWAYS pre-negotiated and discussed thoroughly in HEALTHY dynamics. Permanent doesn’t necessarily mean you can never remove it, but it does mean it’s typically worn all/most of the time. It’s a traditional BDSM practice. Collars are something anyone can wear. Not all submissiveness get collars, not all submissive want collars. Like collars, collaring can symbolize very deep commitments and even, in some cases, on par with a wedding ring while to others it can be as casual as stating they have a dom or are Im a committed relationship. Some choose to have a special ceremony, others do not. You do not need a collar to be truly owned and can consider yourself owned without one. Lastly, collars don’t always have to be literal collars. There are collars/necklaces, bracelets/anklets, even tattoos. Practically anything can be a collar, it is about the symbolism rather than the item itself. Collars and collaring, like most things in life and BDSM, have a different meaning in each individual relationship. If it’s something you’re interested in, sit down with your partner and have an open, honest conversation. Discuss it and work out what that meaning is to YOU. Don’t let others tell you what it “should” mean.
