Name' sake

SweetDemon​(sub female) - Being collared is one of the most beautiful gifts ever it means that the dominant/ master has decided that you are worth keeping and as a strong bond and promise to the sub/slave she/he is collared . How does it make me feel 🤔 where do I start lol my collar is my safe place when its on I stay in slave mode it makes me feel like I'm the only person in the world and im the luckiest slave on earth who has a master that puts my collar on and tells me that I am a good girl 😊

sir james ladies​(sub female){oh yes ple} - very good question sir. I will attempt to answer for the ladies of the house for me when sir James put the collar on me and put the little bracelet on my wrist with one key then when he looked at his key and throw it away saying to me my bond is for life only you may chose to remove that collar and go on your own remember there will always be a place in my house for you. I felt loved, protected, cared for safe for the first time since leaving my fathers house I knew what true freedom felt like.

HGB​(sub female){Scottish M} - I think you will get many different answers.

mab{Thiers } - Love this, for me its symbolism... of the dynamic, the relationship, the bond, the role; and what it means to the dom and sub... It shows others, like a wedding ring, who you are. Its outright 'ownership' (or inset appropriate word- one of the good things about this lifestyle is that it can mean whatever you want it to)..

Grey Eyes​(sub female){Owned} - For me, it is important. The dynamic relationship shows strength of two joined souls through a collar I believe. As others mentioned here, it shows the bond which is as strong as a wedding ring, or stronger for some couples.

Sir Don​(dom male) - I agree with all of these responses. I think 🤔 for some it is a bond almost like a marriage and in some cases more so. For the fly by nighters it means absolutely nothing.

Mama Bear JJ​(dom female){koa} - For me, it has two meanings. It is the obvious recognition of two people's feelings for each other if their dynamic is relationship based, their commitment, as a wedding ring would be. At the same time, I feel it is also/can be validation of the highest form when it comes to both sides of a dynamic whether it is a relationship based one or not. For a submissive, it is a symbol that your submission has been accepted as true and complete ... that you have reached a level of trust and letting go, of giving all of yourself, mind, body, and soul with your partner that allows a Dominant to truly call you their submissive. And, on the other hand, a submissive accepting and wearing it is a symbol that those those things have been freely given to and truly earned, that their partner can truly be called their Dominant.

Completesub​(sub female) - The meaning of a collar is dictated by those who are using it. For me a collar always meant more than a wedding ring.

Jack in the box - Thank you all so much for such heart felt responses - I have been truly wondering if amongst this lifestyle it was a uniform thing, (like wedding rings are) or if it carried a unique meaning to each.
I think perhaps it is both, yes?

Ive been working on ideas for collars for sale in the future - this insight will help me a great deal.

Again, thank you all

sir james ladies​(sub female){oh yes ple} - sir Jack just a note and recipe for you to think on when sir James created his collars he made them to resemble an old fashion torque for the ladies these were made in 22 caret gold his reason for this was no one is pure and that 2% is what makes each sub different and special. as well as the wolf head that symbolizes the house in the mouth is a birthstone to set the wearer apart from all others. hope you find this helpful in your endeavors.

Jack in the box - Very helpful, thank you!
They sound beautiful.

sir james ladies​(sub female){oh yes ple} - 😁💋😁

Morley​(sub female){Max Sterne} - For me, there are MANY different collars:

- the one here, the brackets { } That signify one is owned, however many abuse it and/or ignore it or plain out disrespect it... so for me, here it has no meaning....

Now with that being said..

the most important collar to me, is the invisible one. The one that is tied from the submissive's heart to their Dominant's heart. No key, no chain, no "physical thing" and yet it is the most significant, to me, because of that feeling of being so connected and joined together in the soul.

Now a physical collar, day collar, one in which the submissive would wear, one with a lock and key. Chain etc. is symbolic like a wedding ring, but even deeper it is ownership and as a submissive, that ownership I wear with PRIDE knowing in that, I am his!

There are also training collars and consideration collars, but I don't have an opinion on those, for I haven't experienced those!

In the end, to me, the meaning of, presence, or lack of a collar is like people's kink... It's all different... All that matters is what it means to the two (or more) in a dynamic!!

Great post! 🌺
