About O&P

Possession. Ownership. Consent. Responsibility. Respect. House. Service. Dignity. Authenticity. Rituals.

O&P (Ownership & Possession) is a new structure built from familiar D/s and M/s concepts.

Central to O&P is the concept of Possession: having control and use for one's own purposes of that which is possessed, involving some or all of the rights associated with property ownership. This is asymmetric and unequal in status. While the submissive is in the dominant's possession they are fundamentally there for the dominant, obeying the dominant, and subject to the dominant's decisions.

O&P isn't D/s as a game, or a roleplay scene, or an equal relationship involving SM scenes. At the same time, this power is tempered by concepts like responsibility and authenticity.

O&P is defined by the O&P Manifesto.

There are O&P discussion groups on Informed Consent in the UK, on Fetlife, and on TSR.
