Welcome...subMission was formed by ffairlady in 1998 as a safe haven for submissives, particularly of the local Australian community, but all are welcome. Upon invitation, i took over the list in August, 1999.
My views are very similar to ffairlady's in that i also see a need for submissives to have a place to come to, especially when they feel there is nowhere else to turn. But it's not only about getting through the hard times, it's about sharing the joys as well. Telling your parents and families or workmates about your recent collaring...as wonderfully exciting as it is and in many cases, as deeply significant as it is in your life...sadly, isn't exactly practical. But here...we'll rejoice with you!!
So...we extend an invitation to you...
subMission is an email group for submissives, slaves and submissive switches only.
subMission will be a safe haven for subs/slaves to come together and discuss/share information on any topic relating to either cyber or real time relationship/family issues and bdsm.
It is the aim of subMission to create an atmosphere of acknowledgment and sharing; of validating people's needs and issues and offering assistance and advice from others that may have been through the same.
In subscribing to subMission, you are agreeing to a code of ethics that supports confidentiality as its priority, so that all here feel free to voice themselves without fear of reprisal. Tolerance and respect for the diversity of people who make up this list is also essential.
If you feel that subMission has something to offer you, we look forward to receiving your application to subscribe.
