The Male Submissive's Creed

"I am creative, courageous and honorable. I have many strengths. I have power, intelligence and wit.

I use these qualities to empower, protect and bring happiness to others. I joyfully surrender them to she who knows and cherishes their value.

There is no greater deed than to give oneself utterly to another.

I offer myself in heart and body to my Mistress so that I may be fulfilled by meeting her needs, and that she may expose me to the very core of my being, learn my strengths and weaknesses and teach me to better know myself.

My self and my strength and my love are hers to call her own, in honor of her beauty, her wisdom and her strength, which mirrors and enhances my own.

I serve Her with honesty, valor and trust. I avoid putting myself first, but not at the expense of my identity. I seek always to clearly communicate my needs and my fears to Her.

I am her champion, her warrior, the guardian of her honor - as she requires.  I will defend her to the uttermost limits of my strength but, standing before her, I lay aside all defenses.  I offer Her my trust and respect, and I have few gifts more precious than those. When we journey alone together, she recognises my needs and, when she takes me to places I have never been, protects me from harm.

I ask her to lead me in turning my weaknesses to strengths, so that I may better serve her. I ask that she protects me from harm, and surrounds me with her warmth and guidance when I am faced with my darkest self.

I look to Her, to have the wisdom to know when to push me to grow, when to teach me discipline and when to show me her gentleness and mercy.

I trust Her to heed my voice and views, to nurture my love and desire for her; to approach my failings with humor, compassion, and firmness as necessary for the good of us both; to bring shape and meaning to our lives.

In return, I offer Her all that I am; in joyful and complete devotion."
