When pet names are applied appropriately, they can be technically endearing. These pet names can also have a deeper meaning for BDSM couples. There are different names you can choose to call your significant other that you barely use on your friends. This shows how these names can be essential in planning pleasurable BDSM plays. With the knowledge of creating dominant and submissive BDSM names, you will find the right name. This article explains why BDSM pet names are essential and how to create them effortlessly. 

What Is a Dominant and Submissive Relationship?

A dominant and submissive relationship connects two people who are mostly interested in kink and BDSM. They often choose to play together as partners. Generally, dominant and submissive are terms used to describe partners' roles when engaging in BDSM games. The man is mostly the dominant partner, while the woman is the submissive or enslaved person. However, BDSM roles are never permanent, and partners can switch roles to explore different fantasies.

The Purpose of BDSM Names 

In some relationships, the partner fully exercises their roles without leaving or changing them. When exploring BDSM games, it is important to assign names. Here are the main purposes of BDSM names;

Puts You in the Right Headspace 

BDSM pet names reinforce the role different partners play to get into their right headspace. You can also use these pet names during other sexual activities apart from BDSM. These names can be applied outside the bedroom of the BDSM scene, but only for special pet names. 

Reinforce Your Roles 

Although most people prefer using these pet names in BDSM scenes, some often prefer them even after BDSM scenes. Have you ever had a pet name you often use with your spouse? If you already have the name, you must be conversant with the concept of reinforcement of roles. Generally, these pet names are applied to help reinforce the roles the partner has agreed to take. This acts as a reminder of what they share as BDSM partners. In some cases, the submissive partner can only be addressed using the pet names with the dominant partner. Therefore, give your BDSM partner a good pet name and help reinforce the agreed role.

Naming Ceremony

A naming ceremony is incredible since it allows you and your partner to choose the best pet names. For a woman, you can consider the name slave and make it a symbol of the relationship. Some BDSM couples also go for collaring ceremonies as a sign of commitment to their spouse and relationship. However, you can choose not to make it official.

Big ‘’D’’ and Little ‘’S’’

These names are commonly found in online kinks and are mostly applied to screen and scene names. These titles also show that one partner is dominant and the other is submissive. Most online naming conventions often capitalize the noun and pronoun in dominant and lowercase the name and pronoun in submissive. For instance, you are likely to come across as Dominant and submissive to show one has authority over the other. 

Dominant Pet Names for Guys 

Are you the dominant partner in the BDSM scene? An appropriate and perfect name will give you the authority needed to be in charge and powerful. Also, you will not feel any discomfort whenever you have the power to rule over your submissive partner. If you are ready to take control of the BDSM scene, here are pet names to consider for guys;

Generally, most of the names listed are specifically designed for the gents who want to be the dominants of BDSM scenes. Also, most of them are relatable; for example, Daddy is given to display fatherly nature. This includes guiding, nurturing, caring, and correcting. However, some of the names here, like Owner, Your Highness, Captain, and Governor, can be used by both male and female dominant.

Submissive Pet Names for Guys

A male submissive partner is rare in BDSM scenes. The submissive role in BDSM games is often meant for ladies since they are naturally weak and soft compared to men.

How to Come Up with Submissive Names

If the dominant partner addresses the submissive partner, the names queen, madam, and mistress are often used. Since there are many submissive names, which name would you prefer your dominant to call you?

Are there rules guiding the dominant partners when choosing their submissive partner's names?

• The dominants often use names for different purposes and scenarios.
• Other dominant partners go for reciprocity.
• Some dominants choose to use real names.
• They can also refer to you by the name you prefer.

Final Thoughts
