Full Question: How does a brat differ from any other submissives?
Answer:
Brats get a bad rap among other BDSM participants, and it’s likely because they always look like they want to annoy people. But that’s not really the whole of it.
A brat is a bottom or submissive who enjoys misbehaving for attention and punishments, struggling against control, or challenging the top. Brattiness has a wide spectrum from the “playful bottom” to the smart-ass masochist and everything in between. Some brats are “testing” their dominance; others desire to be “conquered and tamed,” while some simply do not wish to be controlled.
On the surface, this is a negative quality in a submissive; however, a certain amount of “brattiness” is enjoyed by some Dominants and may, in fact, be a large component of a power exchange relationship. That type of relationship is called Brat Tamer and Brat and thrives on this type of give and take.
There is a very large community of brats and their partners on FetLife if you’d like to learn more from people who identify as brats.
