I enjoy flowery speech as part of D/s but I don't get off on the Gor-ish "this slave" speech training. I admit it can be effective, but I don't like it as a personal preference. I value my submissives too much to have them degrade themselves every time they open their mouths... that's my job!

I like the second rule you mentioned much better leo. That seems incredibly natural to me. I've altered even that a bit though. If I'm writing then I typically refer to my Mistress as such at least once per paragraph and use pronouns otherwise. If I'm speaking, I usually say "Mistress" or "my Lady" at least once per set of phrases and always when answering a direct question. I feel that pronouns have their place, especially since "Mistress, Mistress, my Lady, Mistress, Mistress, Mistress, my Lady, Mistress, Mistress..." gets boring very quickly.

And for the record, if anyone called my body "awesome" to my face... well... I'm afraid I'd laugh myself silly.
