Everyone should know that a Dominant is responsible for the Health and wellbeing of their submissive.
But what exactly does that entail?
Not only does it refer to the physical health and wellbeing of the submissive, but it also refers to the mental and emotional health and wellbeing of the submissive.
Physical health and wellbeing is the most obvious responsibility. Keeping the submissive injury free, and/or giving them time to heal from play sessions or injuries when they occur so as to not make injuries worse by playing when not healed. It also consists of caring for the submissive when they are sick. Even if it requires the Dominant to act as nurse and cook for the submissive, and doing the chores the submissive would normally do when healthy.
Mental Health and wellbeing often gets overlooked. But since so much of the BDSM lifestyle and dynamic is on the mental side, it is important for the Dominant to be aware of the mental fitness and mental state of the submissive. Constantly treating the submissive as inferior and “breaking” the submissive mentally is not beneficial to the mental health and wellbeing of a submissive. So care must be taken not to go too far when using humiliation and derogatory comments when consented to, and avoiding both if not consented to. Many submissives are sent into fits of depression and anxiety when a Dominant goes too far and never builds a submissive back up if at all. One of the responsibilities of a Dominant is to build the submissive, not break them down and destroy them.
Emotional health and wellbeing is as important as physical or mental. A submissive that is emotional drained or always made to feel sad or angry has no reason to want to obey, or serve for that matter. The Dominant is supposed to see to the submissive’s happiness by fulfilling their wants and needs, just as much as the submissive is filling the Dominant’s wants and needs in a symbiotic relationship.
And I’m not forgetting that the submissive is also responsible for caring for the Dominant’s Health, mental and emotional wellbeing.
It is not a bad thing for a submissive to remind or even badger their Dominant to take medications, or avoid unhealthy activities. The submissive should want the Dominant as healthy, happy and in a stable mental frame of mind during their relationship, just as much as the Dominant wants for the submissive. After all, if one is unwell in any of the three areas, both partners are affected and the dynamic is jeopardized in the short, and sometimes, the long term.
