It has been my experience that when a Dominant closes that collar around your throat there is a feeling of immediately submission - definite sub-space time.
Being told to strip before the collar is put on intensifies the effect.
There is something erotic about being naked with just a collar. You are made very aware of the collar. And very aware of your nudity. MORE naked by it, somehow. You are not just naked to head for a shower, or to bed. You are naked to be USED.
The collar is great when used as a non-verbal signal. When a Dominant just goes to wherever the collar is kept, brings it out and expects you to immediately strip and 'present' (get into position for the collar to be put on) with no pre-warning, it tends to make you nervous and aroused at the same time. It's a great tactic. Zoom to sub-space!
A collar makes you feel like you have just gotten in line for the roller coaster. The ride is about to begin! Fear and excitement begin to gather in the same place. In the pit of your stomach. Low in the belly. With a good Dominant you never quite know what is about to happen but you've become trained to expect it to be exciting and pleasurable.

A collar usually makes you feel more attractive. Adorned in a way that is reserved for your Dominant. You have sent him a message that you want to belong to him and he has agreed. Since submission tends to make someone more attractive to a Dominant then the collar obviously highlights that.
I have heard more than one female submissive say that their Dominant has told them they seem more beautiful with their collar on. I have been told this myself.
Submissives love to have collars and cuffs put on them, rather than doing it themselves. It is the Dominant saying ‘I’m taking possession of you.’ When the collar is fastened you hear him in your head saying “I HAVE possession of you. You can let go now.”
Of course, there is a whole other mind game to be played by having the submissive do it. Making the submissive make themselves vulnerable. Before you are allowed to come into the Dominant’s presence, or as the Dominant watches. I would think this works well when partners have been together for a while. Re-affirming the commitment that has made, voluntarily.

We collar our pets to prove ownership. A submissive in a collar feels secure that they are owned, even if it is just for the duration of a scene. Adopted.
Collars are rarely used for much in actuality. The neck is too delicate. But they are one of the strongest symbols of BDSM.
They carry an intense emotional impact even if they are not actually attached to anything. A tug on a submissive’s collar, with or without a leash, can make them feel more out of control than having all limbs restrained.
A powerful symbol, indeed.
