In the BDSM lifestyle many people like to either give or receive a sign of ownership, for many subs/slaves it is the acknowledgement of belonging to a certain person, it tells others that they are spoken for and any interaction is to be at the agreement of their owner. In many M/s or D/s relationships a collar is given in much the same way as a ring is given in a vanilla relationship.

Some Doms or Masters only use a collar during a scene whilst others require their property to wear a collar 24/7 while having a different one for play time. The term collar is sometimes misleading, it is usually a collar that is worn around the neck, however it can also be a bracelet or a anklet, or a simple chain that is worn, what is important to many is that it is a sign for them that they are owned, but as so many work outside of the home, wearing a dog collar with slave or slut printed on it if you are a lawyer or a checkout assistant can cause some strange looks and conversations.

The collar is another way that many engage in humiliation with their sub or slave, leading them around the street on a lead is bound to lower their self esteem.

No matter what your opinion is on collars it is just another way that each can adapt the BDSM life to their needs, some subs or slaves feel they need to be collared and some know who they serve without the need for a collar, the same is true for Doms or Masters, some like to give them and some do not, its up to the individual as so much of this life is
