BDSM is often misunderstood, with many people seeing it as purely about pain and submission. However, for those who live the lifestyle, it is much more than that. It is a deeply symbolic practice that can be seen in many different aspects of life, including Easter.
Easter is a holiday that is traditionally associated with rebirth and new beginnings. This is particularly evident in the symbolism of the Easter egg, which represents new life and growth. In BDSM, there is a similar focus on rebirth and growth, particularly in the dynamic between Dominants and submissives.
For a submissive, the act of surrendering control to a Dominant can be seen as a rebirth, a shedding of the old self and the birth of a new self that is focused on serving and pleasing the Dominant. Similarly, for a Dominant, the act of taking control can be seen as a rebirth, a transformation into a more powerful and dominant self.
The symbolic nature can also be seen in the use of collars, which are often worn by submissives to symbolize their submission to their Dominant. In the same way that the cross is a powerful symbol of Christianity, the collar is a powerful symbol of BDSM.
When we look at through this lens, we can see that it has much in common with the symbolism of Easter, and that both are focused on growth and new beginnings. Happy Easter .,,?
