The difference between what I do, and what chivalry would be. I don't let her open the door for herself, if she does she gets spanked, or some other kind of punishment on the spot. No hesitation, no wating for the punishment of the offense at a later time. That removes the chivalry out of it. Yet when she obeys, she feels like my princess, and in everyway she really is. This is returned to me in how she treats me. She makes my dinner, washes my clothes, cleans my house. In every way she is very much the woman who would be described in the early 50's (cept the punishment for opening doors for herself part). The more we have done this the easier it all as become. When we first started she was so used to opening her own car door I punished her nearly eveytime we got in or out of the car. I have had her to the point where she will sit and not touch the door if I happen to forget. We have found our comfort level in the whole thing so she knows when I expect her not to touch the door, and when it's ok.

The same goes for drinks, and her coat. It took some time to get used to for both of us. To find the level of restriction we were both comfortable with and enjoyed. Now that we have found that, it's nearly natural to both of us.
