ORIGINAL: Hauptmann Just a quick question. My little one has no problems calling me Master etc in private, but outdoors in public she feels that it puts her in too much of an open position for something that really is quite a private arrangement. Likewise Sir, Papa, Lord. It just doesn't feel all that sexy to feel silly, and she would. Humiliated, yes. subservient, yes, silly no. (and this is not a comment on those who use those terms in public, it just doesn't feel right for us). I was wondering, does anyone have a suggestion I could use, perhaps from your own experience? Maybe there is a foreign language word that would mean the same but wouldn't open her to ridicule? Sorry if this is a silly question! In public is the *only* time I allow my girl to use my name - is that not A), significant to her and our private dynamic yet B), highly unlikely to draw undue outside attention? "Public" is defined as the presence of a 3rd party, so 'public' can still be in our own lounge room with a visitor or children about etc just as "private" can be in the middle of a restaurant. But this is clearly about YOU...! You seriously have some need to be addressed as "Sir, Papa, Lord" etc in front of others? I suspect you have some self-esteem issues to work on *yourself* rather than having your girl try to alleviate them for you. Focus.
