Since we don't practice Ds all the time, Woodsman came up with a
code for me to let me know in one word what he expects of me.
There are three names he uses, my real life name for our public relationship and when he wants an equal partner. When we can go into the Ds relationship, he uses the names of two of my characters in my stories. One is a complete submissive and acts accordingly. Another is a bought slave, so she obeys reluctantly, most of the time. He usually uses the slave name when he knows I'm not really up to being submissive. That way I can sass. Of course, I pay the consequences.
I know it's a game, and some here may not approve. But when one cannot or chooses no to really live the life, it works.
