Why I can't use Sir.

[princesschibi]

So I've tried to use Sir a few times in past dynamics. But because of jokes between friends and I it always comes out sarcastic. I find my self calling people Sir as a silly thing and have to remind myself that some people take it as an actual title. Do any of you have typical dom titles that you can't use for funny/silly reasons like this? I'd love to hear about them:) Edited November 30, 2016 by princesschibi

Master. I am not even sure why I cant take the title seriously - It just feels weird to me.

I have the same issue with Master. Also, even though it isn't a Dom title, I have major issues with being called mija. My father uses it way too often for me to be okay with Daddy using it. :/ I dunno.

Well as someone whom have been called master, Dom, sir, and daddy, it can be a hard thing for many to wrap there heads around calling someone such things. O have seen many littles who have a hard time calling someone daddy! As far as "sir" goes it is just a showing of respect towards a top (daddy, master, Dom) who is not yours. You can also call them Mister. No if you notice I said "respect"! That is a hard thing to come by these days with Facebook, Snapchat, and Kik. Everyone is so use to instant gratification, that most tops do not show respect so none should be given. This speakers especially true in the ddlg dynamic. Now if you have a partner and you have a hard time calling them a title, then the two of you should come up with a pet name and go from there. Just remember the title doesn't make the person! They do!

Maybe it is because I spent time in a naval community growing up but it seems weird to think of sir as a title, it was always taught as a formal term of respect. I got real used to using yes sir/ma'am, no sir/ma'am when speaking to adults and it stuck. so it being connected to anything other than being respectful is strange to me.

I use "Sir" in public when Daddy or Dominus isn't discreet.

 

I do not address other Doms outside of this board, come to think of it I don't talk to many Doms here either. I am very much old school in the sense that I don't personally believe as a collared and owned sub I should be socializing with other Doms without previous permission. It's not everyone's opinion but it is mine. When I have permission to speak, it is Mistress X or Mister Y (insert first or last initial).

I had a partner who would want me to refer to him as 'my God' or 'my King' and... Yea it just never sat right with me. I know some people use 'Mister' as well, which I don't really like.

 

I do enjoy Master and Sir though, though I get why people wouldn't. 

 

I'm not sure if this really counts but I don't really like papi either, probably because I'm not Hispanic but I know quite a few Hispanic people don't like it either - I think it's somewhat of a meme.

i couldn't ever use Master. i'm a sub, not a slave and it's a big difference to me personally. although i do call Him Sir often. 

[PrincessClara]

I feel the same way about master. I'm not a slave, you aren't my master....I also have a hard time with Sir b/c I live in Texas and sir/maam are ways of speaking to people. Though I do use Sir when I'm in trouble and trying to suck up extra nice LOL

I never call Owner "Sir", because he grew up in the south, and it was just a manners thing there, and it makes him uncomfortable. I also never call him "daddy" because that's what I always called my father as a kid, and what I still call him sometimes. I have tried calling him "Master" but somehow it didn't really stick for us. I just call him Owner, Owner works best for us because I am his pet kitten. Edited November 30, 2016 by ziva vlad's kitten

I have a problem with using sir and master. But since we have a baby on the way I'm finding it more difficult to use daddy >.< So conflicted

[chaos]

For me master or sometimes daddy. Master because I'm not a slave and daddy because I don't want to be at the dinner table having a family meal and let it slip and have two guys look up ie. My real father and S.O. but in Growing up in the South I'm ok with sir or if in public I have a pet name.
