Sundew02 -> RE: SHOULD BDSM ROLES BE RESPECTED ACROSS A BDSM FORUM OR BE IGNORED N ALL PERSONS TREATED AS VANILLA ? (6/14/2004 7:55:49 AM)

I agree, that respect is earned, but when we found our "home" in the D/s community, we picked a lifestyle. Before I get a hundred emails asking what about switch, parttime etc, when you present FOR THAT TIME, you have picked a place to stand. For me Ma'am is the title of choice to begin with, it is safe for both the slave and myself. A title that is sadly lacking a vast majority of time in the vanilla world, but still very common place, so therefore it would not bring undue scrutiny to bear. Along the same line, I call the slave by his first name, or nickname, wide smile and on occassion sweetmeat, which also passes without comment. The reason being that I do go out and about with my males, this way they or myself do not slip up. Manners are becoming a rare commodity no matter what your choice of lifestyle. Dom or sub I think everyone needs to have manners, a title presents at least the illusion. Emails without salutations or closings are a prime example. In my opinion, Tess
