I will communicate with complete honesty my needs, desires, limits, and experience. I realize that failing to do so will not only prevent my Master and I from having the best experience possible, but can also lead to physical and emotional harm.  I will not try to manipulate my Master.  I will not push to make a scene go the way I feel it should.  I will keep an open mind about trying things that I am not accustomed to or comfortable with and expanding my limits. Good communication between my Dominant and me is essential for this.  I will continue to grow as a submissive and as a human being. I will accept the responsibility of discovering what pleases my Master, and will do my best to fulfill his wishes and desires.  I will not allow myself to be harmed or abused, I know that submissive does not equal "doormat".   I will be courteous and helpful to my fellow submissives, I will share my knowledge and experiences with others in the hope that they will learn from where I have been.  I will take the time to help those new to the scene start out on the correct path.   I will be responsive to my Master, I will not try to hide what my mind and body are feeling so that I may assist him in his responsibilities as my Authority, I know that Dominants are not telepathists, and will not expect my Master to know thought or feelings which I do not share. I will never think myself a "better" submissive because I choose to submitt on a different level than another. I will not be boastful of experiences I have had as a sub. I know that my actions reflect upon my Master, and will do my best to help others see him in a positive way, I will not intentionally embarress or displease my Master.   Above all, I will wear my title of submissive with honor, I will never cause others to think that being submissive means to be weak or subhuman. I will take pride in who and what I am, and will never show myself in a negative way.
