Self Ownership

Our Definition

The concept of a submissive providing care and structure for themself in the ways that a dominant partner might, in an effort to improve their self-worth, self-love, and overall standards. Often involves self-collaring. 


Common Practices & Experiences 

Everyone is different! You'll see this repeated throughout our website and glossary. Common practices and experiences involving self ownership include, but certainly aren't limited to:
  • Staying accountable to one’s goals through a list, journal, or app.
  • Reflecting on what kind of submissive one would like to be, and what one’s ideal dynamic would look like.
  • Taking initiative in furthering one’s goals
  • Being attentive to one’s own needs
  • Practicing self-care
  • Wearing a collar to represent self-ownership
