What does brat or bratty actually mean?

Like so many other terms from the BDSM area, the word “Brat” comes from English: The translation of “bratty” means naughty or spoiled. Literally translated, Brat is the name for brat or a spoiled, naughty child.

In the BDSM context, Brats are classified as submissive types, but a Brat is not entirely submissive. Instead, they are someone who demands strictness and challenges the Dom. Few roles in the BDSM realm are as controversial as that of the Brat. Some are annoyed by the rebelliousness, while others love the challenge that these bratty Subs bring.

Bratty subs, for example, can bite when the Dom kisses them, are a little cheeky and defiant, and their behavior is a bit bratty. They talk back and are not very submissive in other ways. They want to learn from their Dom when to overstep their bounds and what behavior is appropriate. Their language is not humble but defiant.

What roles is the brat related to?

Brats are often found in the Sub or Little categories. Bratty behavior also suits Middles well. Some are generally more rebellious, while others display bratty tendencies only occasionally or in specific situations.

Who fits in?

The perfect counterpart is almost self-explanatory: the “Brat-Tamer.” Dominant individuals in this role should be well-established and not easily unsettled, as dealing with a bratty partner can be overwhelming. From there, it’s not a big step to becoming a Brat-Lover.

As a brat it is important that…

…to master the balancing act between rebellious and submissive. Provocation and submission are in opposition to each other, which can bring an exciting dynamic into the game if both are aware of their limits. For inexperienced Doms, a brat can either represent excessive demands or a teacher (topping from the bottom).
