A submissive is a person in BDSM who submits to a Dominant person (Urban dictionary)
A nickname and a pet name are two different things. A nickname is usually given by family or friends, or is a short version of the formal name. While a pet name is used in a D/s relationship as a sign of affection for each other's roles.
Submissive pet names fall into different categories - some are used only during a scene or on everyday life, some are humiliating, some are rewarding.
Whatever your fancy or motive, Oxy has gathered a list of creative submissive names ideas for you to pick!
For new characters of the BDSM world, it is quite hard to transition from being vanilla one moment and switch to being D/s the next.
Everyone has his own techniques- and one way is to use a subtle signal by calling the sub with his attributed pet name. Using male submissive names is a signal to communicate to your partner that you are ready to fulfil your D/s role. This mechanism will be a psychological stimulus to prepare your mind for the transition and make your knee weak!
Male sub names used in a particular context will allow the sub to know what the expectations are of him at any given moment. Once addressed by his real name, the husband will know it is in a partner/husband context, once addressed by his pet name, he knows it is his Goddess talking to him.
Tips: In the list of submissive names for males, pick a soft one for this purpose - Thus, you will be able to alternate back and forth in front of anyone without anyone being the wiser.
Example:
“Patrick, pass me the salt” - Wife talking
“Prince, pass me the salt” - Dom talking
Finding names to call a sub is a distinctive way for you to define when you are in a role.
Example:
Sweetheart
Treasure
Honey
My Pearl
Prince
Translate a name with a meaning into another language. For example “slave” is “Servus” in latin and “puella” is girl - combine it together like “serella”. Only you both will know the meaning of it - thus you can use it as a sexy nickname in everyday life.
Another popular way is to translate a typical pet name into Spanish or French - For example “Mon amour” is my love in French. Use Google translate to try it on https://translate.google.com
Often in a BDSM scene, a male sub embraces a sissy role and a femine, weak persona. Call it this way to assert the dominance.
Feminize him, or come up with a cute ‘girly’ name to call him, and use it regularly:
Example:
Princess
Kitty Slave Boy
Lady
Madam
Mademoiselle
Or find a feminie version of a male name:
Example:
Steven > Stephanie
John > Johanna
Philippe > Pippa
Why not combining the feminie aspect of a name with the power of a majestic plant? Flowers all have a meaning and history attached to them.
For example, a “Rose” is a special gift you give someone you love. It is also something you cultivate, prune, fertilize, water - Exactly the same a sub should be treated in a D/s relationship.
If it is his likes, some subs will be turned on being called a degrading and humiliating pet name.
Some words have a great deal of power behind them. It is often spoken with aggression and implied dominance of one using it over the one on the receiving end of it. In short, it is a total turn on for people within this kink. Some words can have the power to put subs in the headspace of extreme submission.
A male sub kink is to reduce himself in the eyes of the dominant partner, so a pet name for the occasion seems like a great way to achieve it.
For some people it might seem extreme, but never yuck other’s people’s yum
Examples:
Slut
Worthless piece of shit
Faggot
Bitch
Maggot
Cumlover / Cum bucket / Cum slut
Gump
Baby penis
By the magic of a sentence, transform an aggressive name into something cute and more appropriated.
Eamples:
Mummy’s favorite slut
Her little pain slut
Bitch Boy
Bitch
Sissy Bitch
Little slut
Her fuck toy
A male sub is owned by a master, thus guys like to be called as properties: At dom’s pleasure.
Example of bdsm pet names:
My bitch
Mine
My toy
My possession
My property
A submissive and a dom both learn from each other in the course of a D/s relationship. Yet, the dom is the master leading the way and taking decisions, while the submissive is the one obeying and learning: as a father leading the way to a child.
A good idea of sub names can follow those respective roles.
Examples:
Good boy or Good girl (Feminize the male sub)
Boy toy
Little fellow
Little one
Blushing boy ( a favorite)
Little slut
Her fuck toy
Baby bo
Stick to what a submissive is, a master’s pet.
Examples:
Puppy
Pet
Pawn
Stick to what works!
Sub or Subby will do just fine.
Please write a comment of what pet names you currently use in your relationship. Do you use a sub name in play or out of play or do you have a word that holds power enough to set the libido on fire?

Embracing genderfuckery and breaking traditional rules can allow for a personalized approach to self-expression within these dynamics. Through engaging in kink, BDSM, and fetish play, individuals are able to create a space where they can freely explore and shape their identity, establish unique relationship protocols, design their own sexual experiences, and construct a temporary reality that aligns with their individual needs and pleasures. This freedom to customize and tailor their interactions enables individuals to find empowerment, satisfaction, and fulfillment in the world of kink.
In the BDSM community, individuals often choose names and titles that resonate with their identity and power dynamic. Some common BDSM names and titles include "Sir," "Daddy," "Master," "Mistress," "Dom," "Domme," "sub," "slave," "boy," "girl," "pup," "pet," and "kitten." These terms can symbolize authority, submission, ownership, and role distinctions within a BDSM relationship. It is important to note that preferences for names and titles may vary widely among individuals based on their personal gender expression, sexual orientation, and comfort level with traditional BDSM honorifics.
