And just a small comment on Master/Mistress. I have no argument with the terms "master" and "mistress" I'm not sure why. Perhaps because they are most often used as proper nouns- not as a label. And there are terms like that for sub/bes- cunt, girl, kitten, boy... the imaginations of dom/mes has no limit... Plus, I can't think of a gender neutral term by which one could address one's dom/me.

Thanks for all the thoughts! I didn't expect a true and thoughtful discussion of this. It's interesting.
Before I agree to the sub/be thingie, you'll have to get my name straight lol. It's blythe/spirit. Think "To a Skylark" or Noel Coward's famous play. Otherwise you're gonna have to refer to me as Captain Bly, which is a whole other story. hehe

Truly, though, I thought your OP was all in fun and wasn't taking it at all seriously. If I were, frankly, I don't like the "sub" reference period. subMissive for women and subServiant for men. omg! sometimes I just crack myself up.
