Let’s Talk BDSM Collars

What Does the Word “Collar” Mean In BDSM?

BDSM Collaring, and BDSM collars in general, can be a very important part of the D/s dynamic. Different collars have different meanings. Many slaves and submissives, when they hear “collaring” tend to think only of the ownership aspects.  But there are many other times when you wear a collar:

• Play Collar – Most often, these are collars the submissive or slave may bring with them. Indeed, think of them as jewelry or like a necklace. The sub may wear this to signify their status, but a play collar doesn’t signify that anyone “owns” the submissive.

• Protection Collar – This is when a Domme wants to show that a submissive is protected.  It is especially common to use them in dungeons or kinky house parties. This lets other Dommes know that, while the “protecting” Domme does not own the sub, she must give others permission to touch or approach. 

• Training Collar – This type of collar shows that a Domme is currently training a submissive, and it may be a further step towards a permanent, ownership collar.

• Ownership Collar – Unquestionably, this is not to be taken lightly.  It shows, clearly, that a Domme owns the submissive. This is often a very important step in the D/s dynamic.

Different Types Of BDSM Collars

Just about anything can be used as a BDSM collar. They come in so many different shapes and materials. Looking for something discreet? You can choose a choker or necklace. You can wear it all the time. Only the Domme and the sub knows what it truly means. You don’t even have to wear it around the neck.

That sexy anklet you see on that girl walking down the street? That just might be her collar! Of course, there are the basic pet collars, collars made of leather or metal. You can even take a ribbon, and tie it loosely around the sub’s neck. Personally, I love collars with several D-rings around them – easy to attach a leash to it, and even easier to keep my slave’s head exactly where I want it to be!

What Is BDSM Collaring?

As I said earlier, collaring is not something that should be entered into lightly. For the Domme, they are agreeing to protect and guide the submissive, and abide by their limits. For the submissive, he (or she) is making a commitment to follow the Domme’s instructions, adhere to her training and accept that she is only looking out for the submissive’s best interests. Collaring takes place after a period of training and can be private, or part of a very elaborate ceremony.
