"Hands tend to be optional. In the "Humble" position I like hands over head but sometimes tell my sub to pull open butt-cheeks or put arms between legs to grasp ankles. Watching hands twitch as I play with their bottom gives me feedback."

In this position, the submissive is expected to put their back high in the air for either viewing, sexual use or impact play. Sometimes the use of hands is forbidden. This position makes the sub feel super vulnerable.

You are on your knees leaning forward with your hands palm down between knees. The knees are spread to accomodate crossed wrists in between. The mouth is fully open, an open mouth harness can be used for comfort and added BDSM aspect.

The position shows that you are ready to please and waiting to be used.

This can also be described as ‘display’. However, whatever word is picked by the dominant partner, the intent is for the submissive to take the position so they can be inspected.

The position is standing with feet slightly apart and the hands placed behind the head. It allows the dom to visually observe all the body parts of the sub including their stance or attire and consequently, allows for easy handling.

Many variations exist – this is just one of them. The submissive is humbly waiting for another command.

This position shows the sub encourages sexual use by the dom. It is the position of a captured slave.
