ok as always im going to open my big mouth lol
firstly i think this is a good thread J-Go
but i have to disagree with you, to me what you are saying is you are a gentleman regardless whether you are a Dom or not and yep *gasps* folks Doms are gentlemen too!

but ''old school'' if it really exists is generally considered as the good old ''olden days'' of bdsm before, ssc and rack was invented when certain etiquette was expected, in fact insisted upon.. all the boys wore leather, handkerchiefs in the correct pockets, etc, whistles in clubs,walking canes etc i believe if we were to call in a few of the old ''school guards'' they would very loudly dispute your version of it.to the people whom we now call old school the majority of us here (if you wish to take it seriously) would be considered a disgrace to put it bluntly lol
