Some submissive men and women choose to wear a token, called "power seeds," during their day-to-day lives as a constant reminder of their power exchange relationship. These seeds are typically small and inconspicuous objects that can be worn in plain sight but are easily hidden if needed. They may take the form of a ribbon, a pendant, a bracelet, or any other item that is easily concealed but still meaningful to the dominant/submissive couple. The purpose of these seeds is to serve as a subtle yet powerful reminder of the dynamic between the two partners, providing both a physical manifestation of their connection and a symbolic representation of their commitment to one another.
The concept of power seeds was popularized by the BDSM community, where they have long been used as a way for dominants and submissives to display their status and reinforce their dynamics. In a power seed scene, the dominant places a seed in the submissive's body at the beginning of the scene, usually in an intimate area like the mouth or vagina. This serves as a visual reminder of the submission being given and the power being exchanged. Whenever the submissive feels a sensation from the seed throughout the day, they know that the dominant is with them and that they are submitting to their will.
Power seeds also provide a sense of comfort and security for both parties. For the submissive, wearing a seed during the day provides a constant reminder of their partner's presence and their place in the world. It can help ground them when feeling anxious or overwhelmed, serving as a tangible link to their dominant even when they are not together. For the dominant, knowing that their submissive is carrying their seed provides a sense of reassurance and control. They know that their submissive is thinking about them even when they are apart, and it gives them a sense of ownership and possession.
In addition to this symbolic function, power seeds can also serve as a source of playfulness and eroticism between partners. Dominant and submissive couples may choose to engage in games where the submissive has to guess when and how often their seed is present, adding an element of mystery and anticipation to their dynamic. They may also use the seed as a way to communicate non-verbally, sending signals to one another through touch or gesture without revealing anything to others around them.
Overall, power seeds are a powerful tool for dominants and submissives to reinforce their connection and commitment to each other. By carrying a seed with them throughout the day, they can feel more connected, more secure, and more intensely sexual than ever before. Whether used for intimacy, playfulness, or simply as a reminder of their dynamic, power seeds are a unique and meaningful part of BDSM culture.
