How to use "Submissive" in context?
When most people think of submission, they envision a woman with her legs neatly parted and a man towering over her with a look of dominance in his eye. submissiveness, on the other hand, is characterized by a surrendering of one's will to another person. This type of relationship usually occurs between a Dom (a dominant person) and a Submissive (a submissive person), though there is no set definition of Submission for everyone.
Submission can be physical or emotional. Physical submission might involve a person turning over their body to be touched, spanked, or even restrained.
