Submissive Positions In 15 Unique (NSFW) Pictures

Share

When you submit to a master or mistress you offer your servitude, offering your mind and body to them as an act of devotion. For some, power exchange is part of a planned BDSM scenario, and submissive positions (or slave positions) are adopted to enhance a scene.

For others, submissive positions are practiced as part of a Master/ slave or Dominant/ submissive 24/7 TPE (Total Power Exchange) relationship.

In this article, I’ll explain the origins of submissive positions, share my experiences with them, and guide you on where to learn more.

Plus, I’ll introduce you to the 15 most important submissive positions and teach you how to implement them in various scenarios.

As a sub in a 24/7 D/s relationship, my Dom and I immerse ourselves in kinky culture.

We happened upon the Chronicles of Gor (a series of fiction novels by John Norman), some time ago and felt compelled to explore the Gorean philosophy.

The ideals resonated with us and we reasoned incorporating slave positions would reinforce our dynamic.

Where do submissive or slave positions come from?

Positions originate from ”Chronicles of Gor”, a series of science fiction novels written by John Norman.

Gorean life (or philosophy) is not exactly BDSM, however, we can say that it is part of the kinky culture. People who practice Gorean lifestyle – Goreans, promote Master/ slave relationships and usually as 24/7 TPE (total power exchange) relationships. Follow the link to find the details about BDSM.

In the Gorean culture, the slave is referred to as kajira.

You might have asked yourself why? Is there a reason for those positions? There is.

Being in one and expressing yourself in that way helps to express and reinforce social values and relationships.

In this case, it helps women to feel vulnerable and sexually desirable and also, helps men to feel in charge (by positioning the woman in any position he wants to, to do whatever he feels like).

You could compare this to the situation when men used to tip their hat when they saw a woman they know or when they took the hat off when they talked to her – thus expressing chivalrous values.

My experience with submissive positions

My Dom took great delight in commanding me to adopt various poses for his pleasure, and I felt a sense of accomplishment and contentment in adopting the chosen positions.

I can only describe it as a sense of vulnerability mixed with a heady sexual confidence as I complied with his wishes and gave myself to him fully. 

You don’t have to be a contortionist to mold your body to the Gor positions, but you do need to maintain your physical and mental well-being.

Holding a position for a set amount of time can strain your mind and body, so prepare yourself before you embark on this new adventure.

Always have an open and frank discussion with your Master/Dominant and make sure you discuss expectations, outline boundaries, and set safe words and signals.

Collaborations & fave brands

Submissive positions

Inspection

The inspection position (also known as the display position) is the perfect way to exhibit the slave for presentation or examination. The slave stands straight with their legs apart and hands resting behind the head. This position enables the Master/Mistress to easily handle their slave, carry out an inspection, or show off their slave to others.

Wait

The wait position, more formally known as Kajira involves commanding the slave to remain still until they receive further instructions. The slave stands straight with their legs wide apart and hands resting behind their back.

Attention

The attention position prepares the slave to receive commands and directions. For this slave position, the slave must face forward, standing straight with their legs and heels together. The arms are placed down by the sides with the fingers brushing against the legs.

Wall

Ideal when used in combination with punishment, The slave faces the wall with the legs wide apart and arms raised (and crossed at the wrists) above the head. The palms are then placed flat against the wall. For an extended play session, the Master/Mistress can restrain the slave with door jam restraints.

At your service

The slave presents herself to the Master to show she is ready for service. The position calls for the slave to stand straight facing forward with legs together. The hands are placed over the genitals for modesty.

Nadu

The Nadu position represents compliance and submission. The slave faces forward and kneels, leaning back on their heels with their thighs spread wide apart. The back remains straight and the slave looks straight ahead, placing their upturned palms on their thighs. Upturned palms signify a willingness to serve and a desire to please.

Collar me

Slaves often wear a BDSM collar as a sign of submissiveness and ownership. The Master/Mistress may present the collar to their slave in a special ceremony in front of select friends or privately. To adopt the collar me position the slave kneels with their back straight and thighs spread. If the slave has long hair, they lift their locks out of the way to expose their neck. The Master/Mistress can then fasten the collar.

Modest kneel

The modest kneel position asserts obedience while maintaining a sense of dignity. The slave kneels with legs wide apart, keeping their back straight. The modesty part pertains to the slave placing their hands between their legs to cover their genitals.

Kneel/ Tower slave position

Another kneeling slave position, the tower is similar to the nadu position. However, instead of kneeling with legs open and palms facing upward the slave kneels with their legs together and palms facing downwards on their thighs.

Humble

Learning to be humble is par for the course when you’re a slave. The humble position evokes vulnerability as the slave is exposed. The slave kneels with their thighs spread and ass pushed into the air.  The slave crosses their hands in front of them and places their head on their hands. This position can prove humiliating and is useful during punishment sessions.

Table / She-sleen position

Need somewhere to place your cup of tea or a place to rest your weary feet? The tabletop position works wonderfully well on a practical level but can also be used to facilitate impact play, for sexual pleasure or to simply place the slave in a vulnerable position. The slave gets down on all fours, using the knees and hands to maintain balance.

Stool / Obeisance position

Another position that promotes a feeling of helplessness, the stool position involves the slave kneeling and placing their elbows flat on the floor. The forearms are extended and palms are placed facing downward. With their eyes downcast the slave waits patiently for their next command.

Sex Doll / Capture position

Also known as the Capture Position, the Sex Doll Position is reminiscent of an inanimate sex doll waiting to be used or a captured slave awaiting their fate. The slave lies on their back with both feet placed firmly on the floor. The knees are raised to the ceiling and the thighs are parted to reveal the genitals. The slave looks upwards and the arms are placed on either side of the body with palms facing downward.

Floor

The Floor Position calls for the slave to submit to the master by lowering themselves to the floor. The slave lies face down on their stomach with their legs together and feet pointing downward. The hands are placed on either side of the head with palms facing downward and the slave must look to the floor at all times. The position instils patience and can be used before commanding the slave to crawl.

Train submissive positions through these BDSM scenarios

The slave positions can be used to reinforce a D/s dynamic, and can easily be used to enhance a variety of BDSM scenarios. 

I love taking the opportunity to practice my positions while enjoying a pleasurable session with my Master and you can too. Here are a few ideas to get your creative, kinky juices flowing…

Dollification using the sex doll position 

My Dom and I are fortunate to share a fetish for dollification which involves me playing the role of a doll. I take pleasure in dressing as Bimbo and when my Sir instructs me to pull on my tight pink bra top and matching bum-skimming skirt I know I’m in for a treat. I paint my face with garish makeup and crimp my hair before being instructed to assume the sex doll position. 

I then lie motionless as my Dom toys and teases me until I am desperate to squirm and squeal, beg for mercy, or cum.

The teasing takes many forms, including being stroked all over, pinched and prodded, and forced to endure the relentless invasion of throbbing vibrators titillating my pussy. If I’m lucky, he’ll fuck me with his cock when I’m dripping wet and allow me to climax; if not, I’m forced to edge over and over until he wanks all over me.

The tea party using the tabletop position 

The tea party is a fave BDSM group scenario of mine which sees my Dom invite a select group of kink friends to our home. I greet our guests and am then commanded to assume the tabletop position.

Being naked and down on all fours inevitably leaves me feeling exposed and my Dom takes great delight in ordering me to wiggle my butt and often spreads my ass cheeks, to the delight of our visitors. 

As the name suggests the table top lends itself well to me being used as a convenient surface. Guests can place plates on my back, rest their feet on me, or place objects between my buttocks.

There’s something quite humiliating about being utilized as an umbrella stand while people mingle and chat, oblivious to my discomfort. If I move or make a fuss, one of our spanking paddles or floggers is brought down on my ass, ensuring my continued submission. 

Sensory play and the wait position 

Being made to wait for attention can be torture in itself, but when being instructed to remain still is combined with sensory play I find myself in a cruel conundrum. I stand motionless and am left to my own devices for up to thirty minutes until a hood is slipped over my head and headphones are placed over my ears.

The music varies, sometimes it’s soothing classical tunes, and other times rock music pounds. 

As I stand stock still, I feel the chill of an ice cube against my bare skin or the tickle of a feather. My Dom likes to vary the implements but, in the past, he’s prickled my flesh with Wartenberg pinwheels, tapped my thighs and buttocks with a cane, and dripped hot candle wax on my breasts.

Recently he got his hands on the Sizzle Slinger and has been snapping me with a rubber band. Needless to say, waiting can be extremely challenging in such circumstances! 

Tip: My Master often implements whips, riding crops & canes for sensation play and/or for correcting his slave’s position.

Anal play using humble position

It’s fair to say my Dom’s favorite slave pose is the humble position. He gets extremely turned on by witnessing me with my head down, ass in the air, waiting for whatever comes next.

When I am exposed in this way my Dom takes pleasure in playing with ass. He usually begins by lubing his finger and probing my backdoor, pushing one finger and then two in and out of my hole. 

The sex toys often make an appearance too, not that I can see them with my head firmly on the floor and eyes downcast. Vibrators, butt plugs, or the smooth roundness of anal beads invading me is usually enough to send me into a sexual spiral and leave me with a desperate urge to cum. 

Are you ready for Gor?

Incorporating submissive positions into your play or dynamic can prove thrilling. It takes dedication to follow commands and adopt poses for the required time and as a sub or slave, you will be rewarded with a sense of satisfaction and pride.

Doms and Masters/ Mistresses can take pleasure in taking control, and if they choose, they can combine the positions with other BDSM activities to heighten both discomfort and pleasure.

Are you ready for Gor? Then assume the position and submit to your fate…
