I was recently asked about the difference between submission and obedience. This is something that I have had in my head but never put a lot of thought into before. I actually had to take some time to think about this and how I see the difference, which was harder to explain than I first thought it would be. I had plenty of thoughts on this, but actually putting it into words was a bit ore difficult than I thought it would be.
With a little help from my close friend google, I came up with a pretty clear picture of what was dancing around in that Dom space between my ears. Obedience and submission are not one in the same, although similar. Obedience is a matter of conscience and outward behavior. It is the act of completing a task. It is the actual action, so to speak. Obedience isn’t necessarily submitting, but I think it is a part of submission.
