The Submissive Paradox
Being the one who wants to submit can be surprisingly complex:
- If you script it, is it really domination? You can’t simply hand your Dom a checklist and still feel surprised. You crave mystery—and safety.
- You’re asking a lot of your partner. Especially if they’re new, they may worry about doing it “wrong.” They love and respect you; switching into a more assertive role can feel awkward.
- There are a thousand flavors of “dominate me.” They might choose a flavor you’re not into. And you might secretly want something they’ll never guess on their own.
- Consent is the start—not the finish. Defining boundaries, limits, and what actually turns you both on can be hard to say out loud.
- Communication is key… and tricky. Sex talk can feel vulnerable, time-consuming, even embarrassing. And not everyone is naturally dominant (or naturally verbal!).
Enter Artebu: a shared, private space where two consenting adults can collaborate on power exchange—while keeping the feels intact.
How Artebu Helps (Without Ruining the Mood)
1) Share Desires—With a Layer of Indirection
Inside Artebu, you can discreetly outline what you’re into so your partner isn’t guessing in the dark. Think of it as curated clues, not a script.
- Capture specifics like “tie me up this way,” preferred dynamics, vibes, and do/don’t lists.
- Offer nuance (intensity, pacing, aftercare needs) so your partner can confidently improvise.
- Keep it playful and pressure-free: your Dom sees suggestions, not demands—so their lead still feels authentic.
2) Build Agreements That Make Subspace Safer
Our Agreements feature lets you co-create ground rules and evolve them over time:
- Safewords & signals
- Time limits, scene duration, and cool-downs
- Frequency expectations, check-in routines, and aftercare
- Protocol templates (“address me as Sir,” “kneel when summoned,” etc.) you can fully customize
Agreements make expectations explicit while leaving room for surprise. Clear edges = freer play.
3) Make Initiation Easy With Orders
For Doms who are learning—or just busy—Orders are a confidence booster and a spark-plug for play:
- Send a playful “prepare for me” prompt with a tap
- Nudge your sub to set the scene (lay out rope, change into a look, dim the lights)
- Kick off remote fun with push-notified assignments for when you’re apart
Orders reduce the friction of getting started and help your partner step into a commanding role—without overthinking it.
4) Tap the Community—Anonymously
Stuck for ideas? Artebu’s community library is full of shared agreements, orders, and scene prompts:
- Get inspired by what works for others
- Remix and adapt to your style
- Contribute your own ideas anonymously so your partner can “discover” them later (hello, intrigue)
Your Dom now has a whole community’s creativity to draw from—while your preferences remain private.
