The Hazards Of Ignoring In A D/s Relationship I wanted to write about some of the health hazards that ignoring can cause. Ignoring your sub is NOT, I repeat NOT a form of punishment. It is a form of mental abuse. Submissives are needy by nature and if a Dom is not ready to accept that responsibility, then D/s is not for them. BDSM relationships are built on trust and communication. Doms need to keep that window open for their submissives to talk to them about anything they are worried about, and ignoring closes that. Ignoring does not discipline a submissive - it teaches them how to live without said, Dom. Some submissives will feel rejected, angry, and can have anxiety and panic attacks. I personally know if I were ever ignored, I’d be sitting in a corner trying to calm myself down while crying my eyes out, and I know I’m not the only one. My Dom and I have a rule in our relationship - the punishment should match the transgression within the rules of Safe, Sane, and Consensual. Ignoring does not do this. It is not consensual, and it does not match the transgression. A Dom who ignores shows they are not creative or caring enough to give their sub a punishment that instructs them how to learn and move on from their mistake. "Oh, but ignoring is the only thing that works." No, no it isn’t. Stop. You’re uncreative and lazy. It doesn’t WORK, it’s just a way for you to avoid the situation. There are ways to discipline for EVERY transgression or broken rule that are NOT abusive and do NOT include ignoring. If you honestly think ignoring is the only way, then you need to sit down with some other Doms and see what they do. That being said, I titled this the hazards of ignoring within a D/s relationship because ignoring can go both ways. Submissives, ignoring your Dom when you’re angry or upset is destructive. Doms need submissives just as much as you need them, and a D/s relationship is a relationship, and relationships require communication or they will fail. Ignoring problems does not answer them. If you and your Dom are in a rough spot, then you must talk it over. Doms are not telepathic. They do not know every thought or doubt, and just a little insight might help them calm your fears. However, if you are in a relationship with a Dom and he is mistreating you, as in non-consensual manipulation and abuse, then talking it over isn’t always best. Abusive relationships are toxic and unhealthy and ignoring the person and running away, possibly getting help if you’re comfortable, is a viable option. If you honestly feel like that’s the best choice and the only choice, then you should get yourself out of that situation. Just to recap, ignoring should not be used as a punishment. Ever. A Dom should not ever ignore a sub and a sub should be just as considerate unless they are in a toxic relationship and need a means of escape. Ignoring will lead to the destruction of a relationship. Before I end this post, I want to cover one more topic. If you just forget to talk to your submissive for a long period of time, it doesn’t matter if you weren’t ‘ignoring’ them, it still has the SAME effects of being ignored, the EXACT SAME. Make time for your submissive and ensure that they are not being ignored and forgotten. If you are going out to do something for a long period of time, give them objectives to do and set alarms if you have to so you remember to check up on them. It’s a simple thing that can easily go unnoticed. Even a submissive can do this, such as if they went out shopping with friends with minimum contact with their Dom. I myself am guilty of doing that once, and I can tell you that Southern was very emotionally distraught and upset. It was a mistake on my part, and I should have made more time to update and talk to him - but it’s not one I will make again. It is not too late to learn from mistakes and attempt to restore relationships. If you can, do so - but remember, ignoring is NOT a punishment or a way to make the other person want you more. It doesn’t work. They learn to live and love without you. Forgetting to talk to them can have the same consequences, although less deliberate. Be considerate of your lover, your Dom, or your sub. Be mindful of your actions and thoughtful of the consequences, and for the love of the Gods, please please please listen to them when they are upset over something. Punishments and discipline, although not necessarily wanted by the sub, are CONSENSUAL. The submissive should trust a Dom enough to consent to be disciplined or punished for their actions so they can learn and grow. It is NOT a right, it is a privilege, and one that should be treasured and held as sacred. ~ kitdreams  "Men need to hunt. She obviously understands this. She’s offering herself as prey.

So glad you posted this. Ignoring is some of the worst form of punishment I know.

Having someone to talk to in this situation is crucial, particularly for a submissive. It can't be just anybody. It has to be someone who knows how to be a Dom, but also someone who's not just looking to take advantage of the situation. If your Dom won't talk to you, what good is he? He's supposed to be there for you when you need him. If he isn't talking to you, he's not there. Even worse, he's creating a hazardous situation for you. Your mental well-being is being adversely affected. In short, he's driving you nuts, not helping you. If he won't help, you need to find someone who will, or you'll ultimately suffer the consequences.

"Like" doesn't even begin to cover my feelings about this post. With tears in my eyes, i found myself nodding throughout. My Mistress is dealing with some extremely difficult personal natters right now and i understand that. We've been leaning on each other best as possible but the D/s has certainly fallen by the wayside. i will continue to wait for Her, not because i am submissive to Her, but because of hoe deeply i love Her. Not to mention, She is most certainly worthy! Having one's D/s put on hold after it's become a daily need is difficult at best. Thank you for your continued writings. i always eagerly look forward to the next one! -Russ

Ignoring does not discipline a submissive - it teaches them how to live without said, Dom. I think this is the essence of the blog. Undoubtedly foreign to many chest pounding, knuckle dragging Neanderthal Doms. I can almost hear many such beasts scoffing as they read this. And they wonder how they can possibly be lived without.... Yeah, it's a real mystery. Make Women Female Again

Something I thought was very Relevant. "Men need to hunt. She obviously understands this. She’s offering herself as prey. Not easy prey. But willing.”
