polite submissives!

your Dominant has an important meeting with another Dominant this afternoon...your Dominant has bad breath today...
...do you ignore it?
...point it out?
...If you point it out..how do you do so?
...If you point it out..why do you?
...If you ignore it..why do you?

"Woooooo doggie, you need a tic tac."

Giggle..... no. I would politely point it out. Maybe kissing her and snuggling, then doubting my own breath out loud. It would draw attention to hers.
But honestly? I know she wouldn't mind. I would want her perfection admired by other Dominants as well.

Now if she was meeting another submissive, that's a whole 'nother story.

Ha ha ha...damn...I wasn't going to laugh on the first response..BUT then I saw who it was and knew I was in trouble!

no comment..as I wait in suspense for answer number two!

After Mistress found out I carried those little bottles of concentrated breath drops (the ones that burn a hole in your tongue), when going out, it was part of my regular carry. Depending on what I would be wearing (if anything) it may stay with me or end up with her.

Never having had to actually bring this up before (she was very much aware of herself) I'm not quite sure how I would approach it. Hygene was very much an importance in the house and mouth cleanlyness was a must.

In clubs, stale cig smoke in the air pretty much made you want to have mints in your mouth at all times. Wish I remembered eye drops though.

Merelan, don't tell me you have a touch of the "green eyed monster"?

And nasal spray!

And nasal spray!

My sinuses never had the problem as my eyes. Since I don't wear contacts or glasses, I always wondered how those who did were able to be unaffected.

 

[Ms_Lilith]

I have gum, breath drops, lozenges, or something on me at all times.. I'm breath-phobic. My Dom/me would know that Im breath-phobic, and would probably learn to accomodate that (as a form of courtesy, if nothing else), but if not, I would simply suggest a mint. Just suggest one. From my knees, looking up at Him/Her.

Yes, I would point it out as I know She wouldn't have bad breath intentionally for the meeting, and withholding info is a no-no lol. It would be particularly easy to tell Her in this situation, as I wouldn't be saying You have bad breath for my own benefit, but Hers. I'd probably say something like "oh, don't forget to check Your breath, Mistress.".

I believe I would point it out - but probably by blaming myself, possibly asking if I might go and brush my teeth again or something.

This is really quite a difficult question really. However, the submissive would know her Mistress and would know the best approach to use.

As for why? I would point it out because I know She would want to be at Her very best in all situations.

 

[entitled]

i always carry around a tin of Altoids (wintergreen most of the time) and just offer them around. He knows me well enough to take it as a hint.

 

[Phoenyx]

Honestly I think I would want to be told. If nothing else than It makes me look bad.

If it wasnt a dom/sub relationship and it was a BF/GF BF/BF/ GF/Gf relationship would you not tell your significant other their breath was bad.?

If you trully want the best for the dom say it the same way youd would tell your best friend.

 

[cellis]

I always carry those little breath strips and always offer them to Him whether He needs them or not.

I give Him one first, placing it in His mouth and then I take one...

It actually has nothing to do with bad breath. I am just phobic about my breath from when I smoked and have not gotten over yet...

I see no need to tell Him He has bad breath. I wouldn't like it much if He told me that..,

 

[Shadowsdream]

It is a delicate situation but it is a valid question...even if I did not hide it in the *business* issue.
Bad breath seems to trigger a form of rejection, just slightly off can be ignored perhaps but swamp breath makes one instantly question hygiene.
I would hope that My slave would always have the courage to respectfully point bad breath out to Me.
It would show Me his trust in My confidence and honesty with Myself that no one is perfect 24/7.
It would show Me that he cares about My personal integrity and is willing to take the chance on embarrassing himself by bringing up such a delicate issue.
I would be pleased with his bravery as telling anyone they have bad breath can be a difficult thing to do.
Of course if he said " Your breath smells like the back end of a cow!" I would beat his back end with some cow hide!

 

[Phoenyx]

Oh I agree its all about how you say it.
But it must be said. Bad Breath may indicate health problem.

That is so very true..and bad breath is often noticed by others before it is noticed by the one with bad breath...
Pointing it out is a caring thing to do..done correctly.

 

[bunny bondage]

i smoke. i smoke cloves. i smoke cloves constantly. i adore smoking cloves. i LOVES me some cloves.

but He hates the taste in my mouth. so presto, gum magically appears in my lunchbox! (i guess i should explain that i've got a lunchbox which serves as my purse) and i always keep it there, chewing it to freshen up for Him and just cuz it's sweet and yummy. He was quick to realize this, and now knows exactly where to get gum when He wants it. so His breath is just never an issue.

but if it were, i'd probably just ignore it, or find some delightful way to get a nice taste in my mouth then transfer it to His! ^_^

 

[James G 5]

In general I would want to know
Unless we were int he middle of a scene, in which case suddenly being informed I needed a Tic-Tac would be grounds for a non-fun ass whoopin'

(Moon, don't even THINK about it)

If my breath is stank, tell me BEFORE I tie you up
I got breath strips in my typbag

 

[Shadowsdream]

Lets reverse the question then...should Dominants point out the bad breath before the interview of the subs meeting with the executive?
If yes why?
If no why not?
How?

"Your breath is stank. Go brush."

 

[Merelan]

Merelan, don't tell me you have a touch of the "green eyed monster"?

Blushing, yes. At times I do.

I believe this question, once again, comes around to the respect issue. You respect your dominant or sub so you would tell them. Whether it is bad breath, bad outfit, toilet tissue on their shoe or whatever.

for starters, i can usually tell when my breath stinks. but if He wants my mouth extra-fresh, He never hesitates to tell me to go brush. as for the "should" aspect of dom/mes telling their subs they've got funky breath, i think that a sub is a representation of the care their dom/me gives them, and having a nice fresh smile is a part of this. so yes, the dom/me should keep their sub in tip-top condition.

I don't see this as D/s, but as natural grace.

I generally offer a mint.

Makes sense to me.

 

[~ Emmeline ~]

I would feel that I was being disrespectful if I did not point it out to my Sir. He presents himself very well, and I would always want him at his best. He would have no problem with my bringing the subject up, but I would only do so in private.

Also, I would be more than happy for him to inform me of a similar situation of my own.
