Editing Dominance and submission (section)

=== Collars ===
{{Main|Collar (BDSM)}}
Many submissives in a submissive relationship wear a collar to indicate their submissive status and commitment. It can be much like a wedding band, except that only the submissive partner wears one. The traditional collar is a neck band in leather or metal, chosen, designed, and even crafted by the dominant partner. Some subs may wear a "symbolic collar", often a bracelet or ankle chain, which is more subdued than the traditional collar and can pass in non-BDSM situations. It is not uncommon for a sub to have several collars for special occasions.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Makai |first=Michael |title=Domination & Submission: The BDSM Relationship Handbook |date=September 2013 |publisher=Createspace |isbn=978-1492775973 |pages=152–161 |language=en |chapter=Chapter 6: The Collar}}</ref> Collars are integral for [[animal roleplay]].

Many people—for example, some in the [[punk rock]] and [[goth subculture]]s—wear collars for other reasons, such as fashion. So, one cannot assume that all people wearing collars are involved in BDSM. Members of the [[furry fandom]] may also wear collars as a part of costuming or as fashion. Use of collars in the sexual aspects of furry lifestyle may or may not be connected to BDSM, depending on the individual's preferences.
