I love it more than almost anything when Master called me pet, or little one or even His slut. To me these are terms of endearment and I treasure them.
What tells me that I am respected is the way I am treated and he treats me like the an intelligent equal who has offered my gift of submission; not like a possession that he has casually acquired. If this is the way you are treated, then I say "SHUT UP" little voice inside fireandice's head. *grins*
I hope this helps. "peace" ~blizz~

I really wholeheartedly agree. When I call Wellbehaved my "boy" or my "pet" or any of the other various nicknames he has between the two of us, it's a term of endearment more than anything else. I completely respect him, and our life together. I know that many of our vanilla friends who know some about our lifestyle tend to think that I don't respect him, but... it's just something they cannot understand.

I fully believe Wellbehaved's worth as a person is equal to my worth as a person. Living this lifestyle does not make him worth less to me, just because he submits to me... really, it makes him worth much much more to me. I respect him more than almost any other person I know (barring my parents and grandparents.)
