behindmirrors -> RE: Your Dom's Name (9/25/2006 5:43:43 PM)

I am under the expressed restriction by my Dom to not call him Sir, Master, or anything to that effect, ever. Here, I refer to him as my Dom, since it makes things easier for clarification purposes. At home, either in speech or written word, I call him by his given name or call him Dearest. He is always referred to by his given name when I am speaking to my family members, friends not "in the know", and in public, though I will often exchange that for Dearest when appropriate. I would find it awkward to call him Sir or Master. I knew him first by his given name, and we started as a vanilla couple. It is much easier to do that, and to us it feels right and more natural that way. Perhaps I'm an oddball out, but I guess we both see it as this: it doesn't really assert that much more to either of us to use a title. It just seems peculiar in our dynamic. We both know how the power is exchanged, so there isn't a deep need to reinforce that in our relationship with a title. It's not to say it doesn't work for everyone, but it just doesn't fit with us. We respect that to each their own. behindmirrors.
