FemdomU Guide to Submissive Posing

Position #2:

Inspection

INSPECTION is a standing pose where the submissive places their feet shoulder-width apart and locks their hands behind their head, elbows wide to expose the chest and core. The posture creates an open, upright stance with shoulders pulled back, chest lifted, and genitals fully visible, presenting the body without resistance or modesty. It is designed for complete visual access, allowing the Domme to assess, admire, or correct every part of the sub’s physical presentation, from posture and grooming to arousal and readiness.

 

Step-by-Step Positioning Guide

How to Position Him

The submissive stands upright, feet shoulder-width apart to provide a stable yet exposed stance. Hands are laced behind the head, elbows back, which naturally opens the chest and reveals the torso. This posture pulls the shoulders back and subtly elongates the neck, encouraging eye contact unless directed otherwise. The genitals are entirely exposed from the front view, unobstructed by clothing or hand placement, with legs slightly apart for full visibility. There is no slouching allowed; the back remains straight, the gaze either downward in deference or held intentionally at the Domme’s direction.

Side and Back Views: From the side, the pose emphasizes the arched chest, navel, and profile of the genitals. From the back, the pose accentuates shoulder tension, spine alignment, and buttocks positioning. In both, arms behind the head provide a wonderful frame.

Understanding the Pose

Purpose for the Pose

Inspection is one of the most useful foundational positions in any submissive’s repertoire. It is a visual offering, a gesture of total openness and surrender. The Domme uses it to assess grooming, cleanliness, body tone, cock condition, chastity status, or anything else she pleases. It may also serve to test obedience and self-control, especially when the sub is told to stay perfectly still or to become erect on command. Inspection marks a transition from casual to formal submission and provides the Domme with an unobstructed view of what is hers to command.

 

Shirless is okay...

Nude is better

While a shirtless sub in this pose might offer a hint of exposure, full nudity delivers the intended message without compromise. It leaves no room for modesty, hesitation, or the illusion of privacy. When nude, the Inspection pose transforms into a pure act of objectification and erotic readiness. Every twitch, every shiver, every involuntary physical response becomes part of what the Domme is observing. For photos or in-person training, nudity allows for honest visibility and reminds the sub that nothing is hidden from her gaze.

Understanding the Pose

pose variations

  • Erection Views: When erect, the sub’s vulnerability heightens. The front view presents the cock proudly or anxiously, while the side view reveals any trembling tension. From behind, the parted legs and hanging balls frame the scene.

  • Chastity Version: With a locked cage, this position reinforces control. It shifts the inspection from arousal to denial, highlighting the Domme’s power over access and pleasure.

  • The Advanced Sub: Introduce bondage elements such as chest rope or wrist cuffs locked behind the head. Nipple clamps with weights or chains stretched behind the neck add tension. A jeweled plug or tail can complete a rear-facing version. Subtle CBT, like a parachute with light weights or a cock ring, makes it harder to hold the pose for long without squirming.

Challenge Him

The Silent Inspection

Level 1: Basic
Command the sub to stand in the full INSPECTION pose, feet apart, hands behind the head, eyes down unless told otherwise. Then, walk slowly around him, taking your time. Pause at different angles, lean in, say nothing. Let him squirm under the silence and your gaze. Occasionally touch his thigh or brush your hand against his cock or cheek, but make no comment. When you’re ready, begin asking short, direct questions about his grooming, posture, or behavior. He must answer clearly without breaking position.

Level 2: Intermediate
Begin the same way, but carry a riding crop, wooden spoon, or hairbrush. Each time he shifts or hesitates, correct him with a firm tap. Nothing cruel, but sharp enough to bring him back to the present moment. Introduce verbal prompts like, “Say your mantra,” or “Tell me how long you have been thinking about this moment.” Ask, “Where do you feel most exposed right now?” Continue your slow circling, keeping him in a state of anxious arousal and obedience. If he breaks posture, return him to position with a correction and a command to thank you.

Level 3: Sadistic Fun!
Turn it into a ritualized inspection. Bind his ankles to the floor with rope or secure him in a spreader bar. Add nipple clamps joined by a chain pulled behind his neck, creating tension if his arms begin to sag. Insert a plug before the pose begins and command him to become fully erect within five minutes. You may tease him, degrade him, or simply observe, but do not touch. Record the session as documentation of his discipline. If he fails to stay hard, keep still, or maintain posture, he is punished and the timer resets. And if he completes the session perfectly, make him do it again to prove it was not luck but true submission.

training tips

Hints for the Sub

Practice this pose daily in front of a mirror to refine your posture and symmetry. Use light strength training for the shoulders, chest, and back to improve endurance. Stretch before and after to prevent stiffness. Learn to gain or maintain an erection with controlled breathing, stimulation, or mental focus. When photographing the pose, use a clean background, place the camera at waist height, and ensure your full body is in frame. Natural light helps show skin tone and detail. Ask your Domme if she prefers shaved, trimmed, or natural presentation. Always offer your body in the way she enjoys most.

    Agree with everything here, particularly Domme Q & A. Matching naked vulnerability with mental state and consciousness is powerful, and powerfully developmental – brings submission and utilitarian service into sharp focus. “Erections by direction” are a big part (and great fun for Ladies.
    And then, can they cum on command? Untouched? Mind over matter works in all ways – the key to orgasm control which isn’t just refraining from ejavulation when servicing a Lady with the cock but also laughing spurt after spurt when she commands, even posed in full display like this.
    I’ll tell you. all this is true many times over when done with several boys and a room full of Dommes..
    “Cum on Command” is a tall order. Getting there requires a lot of training and practice; but, achieved, it IS TOTAL command.

    The female gaze that turns the male into a sex object is the epitome of female domination and turns male chauvinism on its head, which is a beautiful thing.
