An editorial publication for submissives

Everyone explains submission from her side. I’ll explain it from mine.

I’m Sir Linus, a dominant. This is the part no one tells you: how it actually works, what I’m really thinking, and how to keep yourself safe while you give yourself over. Written to you, not about you.

What I Actually Put in Her Contract

A dominant’s contract is not a kink prop. It is the safest document the two of you will ever write, and most of it is there to protect you, not to bind you.

Most writing about submission talks about you, or around you. This publication is written to you, by the man on the other side of the dynamic, and its one standing rule is that your safety outranks anyone’s authority, including mine. Start anywhere; every essay holds on its own. And if a piece leaves you with a question, write to me. I read every email, and the best pages here began as letters.
