You can be a kick-ass submissive and not own a single piece of lingerie
You can kneel in slip-on Converse just as well as you can in heels
Wanting to be wanted can lead to seriously poor decision-making
You can love someone and not be a match
You deserve as much pleasure as they do
Liars and cheaters will always lie and cheat
Not everyone likes the spotlight; it’s ok to live D/s very privately
It’s ok to make things like rope bondage and tickling hard limits; it’s ok to make anything a hard limit
Dominants can use a safeword or otherwise stop an activity
Submissives can walk away; you don’t have to be ‘released’ from shit
Moving quickly rarely leads to longevity
Your gut is never wrong; listen to it
It’s ok to not look like a fetish model; most people don’t
Sex can feel good even without orgasming
Squirting orgasms are a bit of a parlour trick, and they don’t always feel as good as other types of orgasms
If the effort isn’t there in the beginning it never will be
You can defer to someone and respect them as a leader even while watching Netflix and eating steak nachos with your fingers
Dominants can get sick and be huge babies and still be worthy of obedience and respect
Not every Dominant is an executive with an expense account
Submissives can make more money than their partner
You don’t have to say 'Daddy’ to feel it in your bones
Toxicity isn’t gender specific
You can’t always educate yourself out of raised-with-it bias, but you have to try
It’s ok to demand more for yourself; having standards solidifies self-worth
Self-esteem requires active management
Submission doesn’t cease to exist when you’re single
Submission doesn’t just end when you hit 30 or 50 or 70
You don’t have to do anything you don’t want to do
You have to use your voice
