What is a primal (hunter)?

Essentially primals enjoy fighting. Hunters are the Dominant primals. They will hunt down their prey and try everything they can to control the prey. This can involve all kinds of actions from biting and scratching, to kicking and hitting. Also mental tricks can be used by primal hunters to subdue their prey. This is known as a mind fuck. Although most primal play is physical, a proportion of it can be mental.

Primal hunters may identify with certain powerful animals such as lions, tigers, gorillas, wolves, foxes for example. They may just be generally animalistic or might not think of themselves as animals at all. They could just act upon their baser, human instincts.

A primal hunter has only one aim, to find prey and make that prey submit to their Dominance. A primal hunter isn’t bothered about using fancy kit, in fact most primal hunters will use nothing more than their bare hands. They don’t look for unquestioned obedience, they want their submissive to fight back. They don’t want obedience to be given to them they want to take their prey’s submission from them. The more fighting the better!

What does a primal (hunter) do?

Hunting prey is not all that hunters do. In fact, that might not be part of their play at all. It can be about the meeting of two people and the fight for Dominance. Sometimes these fights are purely power exchanges but very often they are sexual too. It is part of a primal’s letting go of society expectations. They will fight and have sex and enjoy not worrying about rules and expectations.

They won’t necessarily just roll over and let the Dominant have their way though, Prey like to fight back. Prey are primal meaning they enjoy acting on baser instincts. Instead of complying with the rules of polite society they act only on their instincts. Some prey take on specific animal traits. Some become like wolves or foxes. They might be sea creature like or a big cat. They might identify with a gorilla. Other prey take aspects from all different kinds of animals or even just baser human instincts. Although submissive in nature, prey are primal meaning they do a lot of fighting. This is often sexual in nature but can just be about power exchange too. Biting, scratching, hair pulling and all kinds of punching and kicking can be employed by a cornered prey. Primal play has no particular rules and can be very unpredictable. Prey will fight on and on, until they are beaten into submission.

What is a Dominant?

Dominants like to be in control. Unlike BDSM tops or sadists, their need is not particularly to inflict pain but to be domineering and have control over another person. Some Doms/Dommes expect to be obeyed immediately and without questions. Others enjoy being tested, and having to show their dominance over the submissive who’s being bratty. There is no one way to be a Dominant. Dom/Dommes can also be sadists, tops, masters or riggers. Dominant is a huge category of BDSM made up of many very different people who all have one thing in common, their need to be in control. The D in the term BDSM stands for Dominance, therefore Dominants are an instrumental part of BDSM. .embed-container { position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%; height: 0; overflow: hidden; max-width: 100%; } .embed-container iframe, .embed-container object, .embed-container embed { position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; }

What does submissive mean?

A submissive likes to be controlled, relishing someone else taking responsibility away from them. Some are subservient and submit willingly. Others are brattier and put up a fight. There are also submissives who will fight sometimes and be subservient at others. Submission can be confined to the bedroom or only taken out to BDSM and Fetish clubs and dungeons or it can used in all kinds of day to day situations. Some submissives chose to be subservient in all their roles, others take on submission to escape the responsibilities of work and family life. Submissives let someone else take control. They may have a list of rules to abide by set by their Dom/Domme. If rules are broken then there will be punishments too as well as rewards for good behaviour. Some submissives love to be naughty and punished, others want to be good and strive to do their best and be rewarded. Others will want a mix of the two. It isn’t all about humiliation and degradation for a submissive, unlike other bottoms they are more concerned with being subservient and giving over control to another person. .embed-container { position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%; height: 0; overflow: hidden; max-width: 100%; } .embed-container iframe, .embed-container object, .embed-container embed { position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; }
