The Submissive Wife | Community

Community | New Participants

he purpose of this website is to provide information about The Submissive Wife Project, not to recruit participants. (A short digression about that term. By “participants” we mean those who are given direct access to the Project’s guidance, not those who may participate in our online discussions or those who may pursue one of the volunteer-assisted modes of formation. As a Project, we are a small community without resources sufficient to accommodate many additional participants. Almost all full participants maintain some ongoing relationship with the Project. Therefore, admission as a full Project participant is extremely limited and we do not permit casual participation in the Project at all. )

Current and previous Project participants help and occasionally mentor participants in the online community (see below) under supervision. We have no institutional or professional affiliations. Neither this Project nor any of its activities pretend to provide competent, professional therapy or counseling of any kind. The contents of these pages are intended to offer information only. We very strongly urge you to find ways of exploring submission with your partner alone, if possible. If you feel you need professional advice, please seek that help from a qualified professional, not from a web site such as this one.

Always, you are free to contact us. Your correspondence will be treated as confidential and you will receive a reply from the site administrator or from a website monitor, usually a current or past participant and a married woman like yourself.

The online community:

For many, the best way to comprehend the principles of the Project is to explore these pages and to participate in our online community. Community membership is limited to adult women only and all applicants are screened by personal contact before access may be given. Community “participants” are different from Project “participants,” but both meet in the online community. However even participation there may be difficult for many. Like the Project itself, it is certainly not for every woman. The Project and its associated community are both best suited for intelligent women who sense a growing desire to be submissive but who lack resources, community and support helpful to understanding. The prevailing culture is not particularly welcoming to “traditional” sex roles.

The online community allows for a discussion of various approaches to submission, some of which are contrary to the Project’s own views. Both full Project participants and non-participants If you wish to share your thoughts and experiences, join the discussions with participants and non-participants alike in the online community. For more details on the community’s resources, please click here. Caution: Many of the community’s discussion areas touch on the topic of sexuality. Sexual submission is but one context for personal surrender, however, and other contexts are explored both in the Project and in the online community.

The Project and its associated online community are not the only resources available to women who have discovered the instinct for surrender, of course. There are thousands of websites addressing this topic, but few are useful. We suggest you may find someone interested in helping you closer than you think, especially if your interest is more narrowly focused on the intellectual or spiritual aspects of submission. Your husband, a clergyman or other trusted friend might be willing to help you explore the more academic, theoretical aspects of surrender.
