A Dom/me's Pledge

   1. I will respect the Rights of the Submissive.

               2. The submissive's emotional, mental, and physical needs and condition are my
               utmost concern and I will seek to safeguard them.

               3. I will never use someone's submission to satisfy my ego. Instead, I will seek
    to fill both mine and the submissive's needs.

               4. As I introduce the submissive to new horizons, I will do nothing to jeopardize
               the mutual trust and will cease upon the submissive's request or I think it is
               having adverse affects on the submissive.

               5. I will treat submissives with dignity and respect for the gift of submissiveness
               they so willingly give to me.

               6. Punishment will be appropriate for the offense committed and will never be
               done in anger.

               7. I will enter training sessions rested, with a clear mind, and a specific goal for
    us to achieve.

               8. I will try to understand why a submissive may disagree with my actions.

               9. I will strive to communicate and ensure the submissive understands my
    desires and directions.

               10. I will never coerce a bottom into submitting.

               11. I will never attempt to top another's submissive when I have been told they
               have a Master.

               12. I will never attempt to break the submissive's spirit but rather nurture and
               channel it so that they have a pride and joy in their submissiveness.
