This position enables the submissive to attend to the dominant partner. Here, sub stands with legs slightly apart with crossed hands in front of their body. One palm should be placed over the other with arms extended downwards.

A submissive partner usually takes this position to receive an order to be of personal service to the mistress.

This BDSM sub position involves the sub keeping their back straight and head up. They kneel back on heels, spread their legs wide apart and place their hands on their thighs. You may decide to put your palms up to indicate more helplessness and a wish to please. Dom partners may also incorporate toys for sensation play and for correcting the slave’s position.

Here, the sub offers their neck for the dominant partner to place a collar. Kneel with your back straight, legs spread wide apart. Then lift your hair with your hands. The dominant partner could add some spicy activity after collaring the slave. You could order your slave to sit on a suction cup dildo.

Similar to the 'Collar me' position, all you have to do is to kneel, keep your back straight and your legs wide apart. Then place your hands between your legs.

Take a look at how Shambawk33 on Reddit spices up this position with their partner;

"Hands tend to be optional. In the "Humble" position I like hands over head but sometimes tell my sub to pull open butt-cheeks or put arms between legs to grasp ankles. Watching hands twitch as I play with their bottom gives me feedback."

In this position, the submissive is expected to put their back high in the air for either viewing, sexual use or impact play. Sometimes the use of hands is forbidden. This position makes the sub feel super vulnerable.

You are on your knees leaning forward with your hands palm down between knees. The knees are spread to accomodate crossed wrists in between. The mouth is fully open, an open mouth harness can be used for comfort and added BDSM aspect.

The position shows that you are ready to please and waiting to be used.

This can also be described as ‘display’. However, whatever word is picked by the dominant partner, the intent is for the submissive to take the position so they can be inspected.

The position is standing with feet slightly apart and the hands placed behind the head. It allows the dom to visually observe all the body parts of the sub including their stance or attire and consequently, allows for easy handling.

Many variations exist – this is just one of them. The submissive is humbly waiting for another command.

This position shows the sub encourages sexual use by the dom. It is the position of a captured slave.

This involves lying on the floor with your face down and feet crossed at the ankles. The arms are outstretched to create a truly subordinate position.

Your dominant can step over you or keep you in their proper place. This position is often continued by crawling to the dominant.
