Collaring Is The Term Commonly Used By Those In The BDsM Community.   It Carries The SameType Of Weight And Depth Of Commitment That A Wedding Ring Does.   It Does Not Matter What Form Of BDsM You Practice It Is A Universally Recognized Symbol Of Being In A Committed Relationship.

Traditionally, When A submissive Is Collared To A Dominant , You Become Owned, His Possession, He Becomes Responsible For Guiding you, Your Behaviours Reflect His Training Skills. He Is Responsible For Nuturing your Mind, Body And Soul.   This, Is A Huge Responsibility, And Not One To Be Taken Lightly.   It Is A Deep, Serious, Committed, Lifetime Relationship.   It Is Something That Should Never Be Rushed Into.   You Need To Understand What The Collar Means To Your Prospective Dominant So You Can Both Enjoy Your Journey Together In The Lifestyle. To Collar Someone And To Accept A Collar, Should Be Such An Honour, Not Only To The Submissive But To The Dominant As Well

There Was A Time When A Collar Was More Important Than A Wedding Ring But Since The Advent Of The Internet, This Ritual Has Been Turned Into Something Casual.   Collaring Is Never Taken Lightly By Any Who Truly Honours And Respects The BDsM Lifestyle.   The Significance Of The Collar Should Never Be Forgotten.   A Collar Shpuld Be Offered Seriously And With Intent, The submissive Accepting This Collar From A Dominant Should Be Equally Serious.   It's Should Not Be A Decision That's Made Quickly And Tossed Aside In A Week.   We Find This Is A Common Online Habbit. Think Before You Jump Into A Velcro Collar It's A Commitment That Should Bind A Master And submissive Together, Be Sure You Are Ready To Uphold The Traditions Behind The Collar Before Offering Or Accepting It.

You Will Find Players, Wannabies And Predators That Are In It For Their Own Self Gratification.   I Have Noticed So Called Dominants That Have Collared A New And Different submissive Weekly.   This Kind Of Disrespect Towards The "Collar" Is Disgraceful.   Those Who Accepts A Collar Casually, Taking A New "Master" Every Week, Are Frowned Upon Within The Communities, And Quickly Becomes A Joke.  These Types Have No Resemblance In Meaning To A True Collar.   Any True Dominant Will Not Be So Hasty In The Collaring Of A submissive.   Please... Take Your Time, Choose Wisely And Eventually Find Your Soul Mate.   Many BDsM People Have Become Involved Online And Moved On To Happy Real Time BDsM Relationships.

Many BDsM Couples Have Held Online Collaring Ceremonies To Symbolize Their Commitment To Each Other.   Like Wedding Ceremonies, They Can Be Very Beautiful, Touching And Emotional.   This Can Be A Very Loving Way To Formalize Your Online Relationship.   Whether You Decide To Have A Formal Ceremony Or A Private One...Each BDsM Relationship Is Different And Should Be Symbolized According To The Needs Of The Dominant And submissive.

There Is A Protocol That Must Be Respected When Approaching Someone Who Is Collared. Most submissives Have In Their Online Bios And Profiles Regarding Their Status Of Being "Owned". Any Dominant Who Speaks To A Collared submissive In A Sexual Or Demanding Way Is Considered To Be In Breach Of Protocol And It Should Be Noted That Such Actions Can And Will Have A Serious Negative Impact Upon His Reputation Within The BDsM Communities. Those That Actively Devalue What Is Precious To Us In The Lifestyle Should Be Aware That Such Actions Shall Brand You As Being A Player. If You Are One Of These Types Then Perhaps It Is Best That You Should Return To Your Own World Where Loyalty And Honour Is Non-Existant.
