S/switch’s Creed


I will be true and honest with others and myself in setting clear ground rules as to the
limitations of a scene, whether I am participating as a Dominant or a submissive.

I will treat my partner(s) with respect always remembering the cornerstones of BDSM play -
safe, sane, and consensual.

I will not judge those who do not understand the concept of S/switching and try not to judge
those who make assumptions or remarks.

I will be courteous and patient to those who ask for further clarification about switches,
offering explanations at the level of discretion with which they and I are most comfortable.

I will verbalize my limits clearly, calmly, and with appropriate language and terms.

I will not attempt to "Top from the bottom" if I am in the role of the submissive. Nor will I
attempt to compare the way in which I submit with another when in the Dominant’s role. I
will remember that everyone does these things differently and try to live each experience for
itself.

I will cherish the gift of submission when it is given to me and the control of a Dominant
when it I lie safely in His/Her control.

I will be open to others and the roles they have chosen for themselves.
