Join us in Columbus, OH for an open facilitated discussion on Master slave protocol. After knocking out some basic terminology, we’ll talk about topics ranging from protocol within a Ms relationship; perspectives of Ms to Ms people and Ms House to Ms House; protocols regarding various Ms statuses (like “trained by” or “protective collar”), as well as protocol toward alt lifestyle (but not) Ms people (and vice versa).

We’ll also look at what to do with our mistakes, the “yoga principle”, and a variety of other Master slave protocol based topics. There will be plenty of room for participation and interactive activities.

I had an awesome weekend at Woodsstocks. Met wonderful people and had a great time.

One thing that really surprised me though, was what turned out to be so special. I would think the presentation,
or a scene or time spent with new friends would be what stands out in my memories. But, even though all of that was
great…what stands out the most is my chance to do service.

Another leather house was there and the submissive of the house had brought real dishes and table clothes and such
for all of the meals. The Master of the house invited Dan and I to join them during one of their lunches. Dan offered
my services to help serve the meal. I was so excited at the prospect!!! In the past I would have been a little nervous.
But, not this time. This really spoke to my heart and I knew I’d make Sir proud. I showed up early to the lunch space
and offered my services to the head slave. She showed me how she likes to set the table. I layed out cloth napkins and
flowers on each plate. I put together bowls of strawberries and cherries. I placed glasses of drink in the correct place
on the table. I stood with the other submissives as we waited for the Dominants to take their place. I waited to eat until
the head Master had had his first bite and Dan told me I could eat.

Then, Dan stood and thanked the Master of the house for inviting us to lunch with them and let them know that he was honored.
I got up from the table and retreived the fruit juice that he had brought for camping, and some chocolate that we had bought the night before,
offered it to the Master and then to the rest of the house. I loved how it made me feel to be serving the host house with our house’s
offering of gratitude.

Dan was my Master and I was his slave. We were of one leather house, having formal lunch with another leather house. Being able
To serve in such an environment …..the experience was amazing to me. My heart was happy.

I had to go thank them more than once for providing such an atmosphere and giving me the chance to serve.

Our first informal gather went great! We had a good time, good turn out, and a lot of positive feedback. More coming

A few days ago I told (my submissive) to do something. I did not tell her to have it done by Monday or by any specific day. But I feel like it should have been done by now.

This could be considered unfair of me to have expectations and not clearly communicate them, and in a younger relationship it would be.

But there gets to a point of being instinctive. On my part and on hers.

I told (my submissive)”do this” and I feel like it should be done now. Cultivating instinct – I feel thus, and thus I act, and act rightly – is very important to develop in a Dom/me. And actually…act rightly isn’t as important as action.

For me, the trick is don’t let your brain get too involved in this. My brain checked in – “how long has it been; what else is going on; were my instructions clear?” but I have to be careful that I won’t make excuses. The instinct – this should be done by now – comes first. Then, the brain is only used to temper my response. Should there be punishment (significant physical or loss of privilege), discipline (stand in the corner, write an apology, or kneel while I explain the failure) or just a push (not so gentle reminder, vocal confirmation that she is working on it).
