Our mission has always been to help people explore submission, kink, and D/s relationships in a safer, healthier, more intentional way.Patreon is where that learning goes deeper.Each month, we focus on a theme related to submissive growth, BDSM skills, communication, relationships, self-reflection, or scene-based learning. Members receive educational posts, worksheets, resource guides, discussion prompts, event tie-ins, and access to a growing library of submissive-focused content they can return to whenever they need it.

about submissive guide

Submissive Guide

Submissive Guide is dedicated to helping novice submissives understand themselves and the service and submission they wish to provide, from sexual to domestic, personal to pain slut, and everything in between. Through compassion and encouragement, we show submissives that every path is the right path and that submission is a beautiful thing that should be celebrated.Submissive Guide prides itself on being the largest resource for submissives. Since 2009, we've provided classes, guided learning, books, articles, podcasts, community events, and more, all geared to helping submissives explore their personal journey in submission.

Founder's Bio


Luna is a writer from Iowa, US. She embraced her submissive nature over twenty years ago and loves service and protocol. Luna has explored a variety of kinks and relationship dynamics with her partner. Her new adventure is exploring hucow play as Lunabelle.

Luna Carruthers

She met her Dominant partner online in 2003. They maintained a long-distance online-only relationship for a year. He moved from England to be with her in 2004 and formally collared her in 2007. She married her Dominant in 2011. The D/s relationship has not been without its ups and downs. The collar was removed in 2016, and through some therapy and healing, it was returned and recelebrated in 2019.When she isn't producing content for submissives, she enjoys vegetable gardening, jigsaw puzzles, bullet journaling, playing Minecraft, cross-stitching, knitting and crocheting, and getting too obsessed with her three kitties.
