Pet names

[Desdemona]

In relationships, whether D/s or vanilla, sometimes people use pet names for each other. I'm curious, is it acceptable to call a Dominant by a pet name?

Somehow, I can't see Snooze ever answering to the name: "Sugarbritches", but I could be wrong. Although, now that I think about it, it might be a free ticket to getting my fanny warm and pink. LOL

Anyway, I wondered about this and thought I'd ask. Feel free to share pet names if you like.

I picked other, because...

I am a sub, and I am the only one allowed to call him Master. So it's kinda not a pet name, as Master is not really a pet name, but even when he scenes with other people at parties, they are instructed to call him Sir. Master is reserved for my use because I wear his collar.

Conversely, no one is to be addressed by me as Master or Mistress. There are a select few that he has told me that I am to call Sir, or Ma'am, but Master is reserved for Master.

I really wasn't thinking about Master or Mistress, etc as a pet name. I sort of think of those as titles of respect.

Gosh, that would be why I picked other. And explained. Sorry, my bad..

Hey, it's not a problem. It helped me realise I wasn't clear. I knew what I meant. lol.

Hell, I couldnt even think of an appropriate pet name for him, not a nice one anyway.

[dragonlace]

i couldn't imagine calling Him a pet name i would think it would sound disrespectful .....although in terms if called Snooze as its His screen name it might be a pet name...what do you think? kinda like lacey is for me?

not that i would ever call Him anything but Master.....even in stores without thinking about it...lol......see what kinda looks you get then

 

[Desdemona]

lace, i seem to recall that incident. LOL

 

[zigzagzarf]

my pet she has lots of pet names i make them up whenever i feel like it...as for me either it's my name or daddy..nothing else

 

[morninggirl5]

I struggle to use a Dom's first name, i almost have to force myself to do so. I can't imagine ever using a pet name.

Hmmm. I just HAD to come out of lurkdom to reply to this one. Nice thread Des. We are just not that flippin formal. LOL. I call Him by His given name alot. I call Him "babe".

*listening for the collective gasp*

On the rare occasion I may even call Him "hon", I don't really remember, LOL. The point is it's not that big a damn deal.

But believe you me, I know EXACTLY when to call Him Sir.

Different strokes, huh?

*grin*

Happy Holidays!

Actually darlin', you aren't alone. I know exactly when to call Him Master or Sir, but sometimes I call Him other things just as you do like "love" or "babe". I'm glad I'm not alone.

 

[Desdemona]

MG and zigzag, I think you guys are not in the minority at all.

Looks like there's more in favor of the use of pet names than against them. Who knew?

 

[cellis]

He has a pet name for me and I have call Him by His given name or just the first letter of His name... He likes that and wants me to call Him that... but I know when to call Him Sir or Master... there are veribles at play in our relationship where He looks for me to sometimes care for Him... rarely though do I call Him anything else....

 

[SierraMoon]

i always call Him "Sir", unless we are around friends that don't know about our situation. Then i call Him by His given name, or by my made up "name" for Him... "B"

i'm in the same boat as you, Anelize. there is a time to call a dom "Sir" and then there's the times when he's got a cold and i make him chicken soup and call him "sweetie" or the times when he does something just plain silly and he gets my famous "oh honey..." i'm with you - i'm just not that damn formal all the time!

I can endorse that one - I cannot, with a straight face, tell someone to call me master. I always think of Young Frankenstien. You know, with Marty Feldman as Igor.

In a relationship, and between the two of us, I don't mind a pet name. I'll probably end up using one for her.

P.S. But BooBooKittyfuck is right out... No way.. No how.. That is a belt offense.

Have to say we both have pet names for each other, I probably more for him than he with his customary 'beautiful' for me. He can get 'babe'or a huge variety of playful endearing ones such as 'precious'. I think for those Dominants who are secure in their role, and feel the submission they command from their submissive, it is not a big deal and can be seen as an extension of trust from the submissive and the depth of their feelings for the Dominant. Maybe it harks back to the saying 'words are cheap'....you can use Master, Sir, or whatever honorific, but unless accompanied by the corresponding actions and behaviour is worthless....terms of endearment need not be disrespectful.
