There have been some really interesting points here and I tend to agree with Soaul. Even in real life I ask people what they prefer to be called, if I meet a Michael I don't call him Mike without asking first. If you work it out on a person by person basis everyone is happy.

I'm curious what y'all think about calling subs. I would not like it all if anyone other than my Sir called me pet in r/l (here it's part of my handle). Do you feel that there are similar protocols for speaking to subs?
