Coming from the South, "Sir" is a common courtesy extended to any males that are older than you, or you are interacting with on a business or semi-professional manner. So I find it sometimes difficult hearing "Sir" in certain contexts. I like the respect that some use in it, but I sometimes don't view myself as being an older person now...but alas life is short, and the cycle continues. From certain people I have no problem with it. I like my subs calling me "Sir" or "Master"...while in play, I really enjoy Sir when I address them. When I get a response from them on their own, I sometimes get "Master" while in play, and a "Sir" when in a social setting. When I hear my actual name, it is shocking for me at times really, and for myself; I have suggested real names as a form of a safeword. Titles or entitlements are very subjective, and sometimes have to be considered more than just words, or signs of respect. They are also lables that we ask for or are given. So I find it hard at times to accept some of the same words used in different contexts due to that inner thought of on what basis is this being used. We find people calling themselves something with the intent of instant respect. Others out of fun. We can't take eachother too seriously no matter how far our journey has taken us into BDSM. "Lord" actually is a hard one for me, I wouldn't want anyone to call me that seriously (while I know others get that warm and tingley feeling due to how they view this title) ... too many RenFests for me I suppose. Now "Grand-Exhulted-Poo-Ba" that rolls nicely... Tough to say with a gag in one's mouth, but hey it sounds fun anyway you hear it!
