Slave vs Service Sub: Exploring the Differences in BDSM

In this episode of Bonding, I dive into the nuanced differences between slave and service submission within the BDSM dynamic. I answer a listener's question about the two terms, discussing how each reflects varying degrees of power exchange and submission styles. While "slave" often evokes stronger emotions due to historical and non-consensual connotations, I explores how, in BDSM, it can also represent a consensual power dynamic. On the other hand, service submission highlights voluntary acts of devotion without the same intensity of control.

As always, I share the importance of intentionality and self-awareness in choosing these terms, reminding listeners that BDSM is all about customizing dynamics that feel empowering and consensual for both parties. Tune in to discover how to navigate these roles while being mindful of language and its impact.
