The Submissive Wife | Instruction

Instruction & Formation | Options

ost of us in this community have come here because we find the support we offer each other is important and because we wish to explore submission as something other than simply an expression of sexuality. On our own journey, we have found that an awareness of submission colours every aspect of our daily existence. We have discovered that the spiritual, intellectual and sexual contexts of submission complement each other so well that they create a seamless view of life and how it’s meant to be lived by women who are unafraid of their own, often suppressed instincts.

When this site was first created out of the notes and exchanges culled from the years of mailing lists that preceded it, our intention was to simply describe the way some of us have learned to approach submission as a source of strength in our lives.

ut as our community has grown, we have come to see that many wish to find a way to take some of what we have learned into their own lives and to leave us in return some of their own experiences and insights. From that simple set of desires came the online forum, the heart of our community, and a concurrent need to formulate ways of embracing the values of the project in a way that makes sense to women with complex, demanding lives so that their formation as submissive women is anchored in a set of principles that support their choices.

It’s hard to balance that understanding with our own wishes to avoid using this site as a way of recruiting anyone for anything. We understand that most women coming to this site will be content to harvest the information we offer and use it in their private lives as they think best, and we obviously encourage this first and above all.

For those who wish to take a more active role in the development of this community and in their own formation, we suggest these options:

v Community membership and the information given to those entering the Community's mentoring process.

v Independent monitoring and self-discipline

v Monitored membership

Each of these modes of formation is predicated on an understanding of the community’s principle of watchfulness and use, in varying amounts, the elements of instruction described here. In addition, the mentored/monitored process is adapted to create special tools to help some community members achieve specific goals.

ull project participants are normally selected from the list of experienced, monitored members who express a wish for deeper understanding and a more directed, immediate mode of instruction. However access to full project participation is not automatic or even likely. It is not useful in most cases and in practical terms, no new project participants are being accepted at this time in any case.
