Well, it's expected to be polite and courteous in the north, too! Calling each other "Sir" just isn't part of that.
In New York it's considered more polite not to look at people at all if they're strangers. The New Yorker is always surrounded by people, so the illusion of being alone is valued. I take it this would be considered rude in much of the south, but it's actually a mode of courtesy in NYC and environs.
Courtesy is a common urge everywhere, but the things that are rude or courteous are almost arbitrary, they vary so widely.
So, where you are, what does a Dom call another Dom's boy? Or is he supposed to not notice him at all?
I never thought of that. But then again I've never been to new york before. And even if you wanna be alone in the south people are still gonna say hi to you and be courteous. Of course, it doesn't take much to be a bastard and scare people off.
I just never knew how a different region can change things like common courtesy. Hell I think in france everyone greets each other by kissing one another on the cheek. Even men. They don't think it's homosexual or sick. But if that was done here lots of people would be offended by it.
Other countries, states, regions, probably have their own idea of what courtesy is and what isn't courtesy as well. I guess it's just. When you live in the south all your life and people are polite and say things like, "Sir and Maam" it's easy to believe that it's done in every state. But apparently not. I guess the world is alot bigger.
Right. That's another thing. Protocols and different variations on how people live the leather lifestyle or show their flags are different in different regions. And they still fight over the color code things T_T"
Uhm. Generally the way it works here anyways is that a dom asks the boys dom for permission to speak with the boy or slave. Not all do it but it's common courtesy to do so. And then the dom's boy is usually referred to as boy or sub. I've never heard another dom call another dom's boy slave. But not everyone follows the protocols and believes in old guard style.
Some believe that boys are just meat where you grab a boy's ass, bend him over, grab his crotch, or force their will on another boy that might not be their own and even someone elses.
Especially at bar's that happens. Things like respect of another person and respecting someone's boundaries don't generally exist. But in this circle of few old guard masters and slaves that I am getting familar with someone usually asks my Sir permission to talk to me or give me a goodbye hug or something.
Each master has their own beliefs though. Some masters will lend their boy's to stranger's, friends, or give their slave or sub less freedom or more freedom. It all depends on their view and generally what works best with the sub.
