I think that Respect does indeed figure heavily into the overall equation... But im not sure it can be called a "Protocol". Unless, y'know, ya want to... The english language is butchered badly enough already I dont think anyone would notice :P

I agree "protocol' makes respect sound a little un-natural or forced. (I am non-english so perhaps I use the wrong words to express myself).

I am of the firm opinion that in the english language there are no *right* words...
I wouldnt worry so much about where something falls into a category so much as if you enjoy it... To me, that is the important part... :P

and I'm not reading things so good. But I really didn't understand what you are saying?
Respect should be a given in any relationship. But, then, one has to respect oneself, first.
Protocols are a bit different to me.

I am not saying, but asking more. I totally agree with you. I respect all people. But I was curious if people join the lifestyle for a "protocol" called respect.

That's a great question and I think there are some that do enter the lifestyle to get hollow respect and/or demand it from others without understanding it's not something that really can be ordered like a cheeseburger.

However, I think protocols can be wonderful as well. I think like KoM states, they can be used to demonstrate not only respect but love, emotion, caring and every other wonderfully positive thing we find in relationships with people. Structure to me can be like bondage comforting rather than restricting.

I'm glad that I made this post, as I've SO enjoyed reading all your answers to me and to each other. I too believe protocal is important. I feel it's an important aspect in this lifestyle (for some). Protocal to me, has all to do with respect for both sides. It helps to keep us thinking about our role/place. It gives us a wonderful sense of accomplishment when we make our Dominant proud of us in following his/her rules. And best of all, it's about the emotions we feel when we obey those rules/protocals.

I wasn't too sure what I would find when joining in on this message board. But I have found that there are still ones left that are true to the lifestyle. But of course, the lifestyle is what you make it for yourself. We are all different. And if one doesn't enjoy a certain thing, there are others that do. It's a wonderful mix of the minds. And even though I'm unable to live that life as I would choose at the moment, I can come here and at least enjoy hearing other's feelings/ideas on how they live theirs. Thank you for sharing with me.
