Conflict Resolution 
        • Vanilla issues will be resolved without influence of the D/s relationship]
This is vague.

  • quote:

    All other issues will be resolved at the discretion of the dominant
      • The problem with this is if there is an issue with your partner, it's not really going to work out if things are only resolved at your discretion. That can lead to resentment. Best to put the relationship first, whether you want an issue resolved or not and realise that problems don't just go away.

    • quote:

      Submissive may choose company of friends
  • You might want to think a bit more about this one. What if your submissive chooses people who are a bad influence on her? Are you okay if she chooses drug addicts for friends, ex-boyfriends etc?

    • quote:

      Submissive will adhere to all sexual requests regardless of location, occasion, schedule or company.
      This isn't very realistic and most are not going to be okay if that location is in front of their place of business while their boss is watching. A small word such as 'reasonable' (as in 'adhere to all reasonable sexual requests) might serve you well for this rule.


      • quote:

        Submissive will consider the Dominant's needs before her own at all times
        So, if the submissive needs a blood transfusion and the dominant needs his tooth pulled, the dentist comes before the doctor? "Needs" are best served if they are prioritized, not generalized. What's most important in any given moment. It may just be her needs and it's important to recognize that.

            Punishment
              If disobeying a rule set by the Dominant
                Spanking till ass is all red Whipping till ass is all red Tied up, blind folded, and left kneeling on the floor for an hr conversation
      • I would recommend not pre-determining how you're going to punish for infraction. What if it doesn't fit the given crime? It sounds like you don't have a grasp, yet, on what purpose punishment can serve to an adult which is to modify behavior. If, no matter what she does, she'll receive the same punishment for it, that's not going to go very far in changing behavior which has disappointed you. I'd rethink this if I were you and, much like the 'needs' and putting them to a priority, consider that punishments might better serve you if they reflect what you want to teach. You want her to remember the punishment .. or do you want her to remember what she did and change it so she doesn't repeat mistakes?
    • quote:

      Submissive is entitled to her own opinion, but the Dominant's opinion outweighs hers
    You're not infallible. There will be times when she is right and you are wrong. How are you going to resolve that situation if you have a rule like this in place? I'd work on the wording for this one. You do want her to trust you, right?


      • quote:

        Submissive will sit, stand or sleep when and as requested by the Dom  Submissive will stand chin up, shoulders back looking straight ahead Submissive will sit or kneel on the floor, palms up, legs parted, head bowed.

    That's going to make it mighty difficult to wake you up with oral sex every morning. Think about your rules as a 'whole' program and see if they work together. This is one of those, it's hard to have your cake and eat it. Decide which is most important to you and get rid of those rules which don't fit in well with the most important ones.

    I got the impression that you found the list, or something like it, somewhere and filled in your own fantasy version of things. 
    I am wondering how you would propose to enforce the thought-police attitude that appears to underly the submissivemay think what she wants; something about that very assertion makes me think you don't actually buy that a sub ought to think for herself.  If that's the case, I hear companies in, I think Japan, have robots available; perhaps a good investment foronewho wishes an automaton.
    I didn't read the whole thing as it just became boring. 
    I will disagree, for myself, on a couple of points that some other posters took issue with (Acknowledging that I am not currently in a committed relationship but that I have been more ofmy life than not): I would be willing togive my Master oral every morning.  Also, unless I am in a funk or circumstances don't allow, I am a shaving every day kind of a girl; have been since my middle teens and the skin on my legs is not like leather and I don't even typically moisturize.  Not that I am saying those things to feed into your list; more toillustrate that individual people have individual differences and while I could rattle off all sorts of things I want in a theoretical partner, from experience, I can tell you, the real thing is often different and far more awesome than any list.  :>

    It's not a bad list, it's certainly possible he could find a girl who was willing to comply. I'd raise my eyebrows at the smooth legs 24/7, but if you're willing to pay for laser, hey why not.

    Might not want to tie her up at night if you want morning head though.

    It was mentioned earlier how things like these are often more enlightening and useful as ways of sculpting our own wishes, wants and ideals. While the lazy bastard in me didn't feel motivated to read through the entire list, I was struck by how specifically it seemed outlined and I have myself though about piecing together such a list at least for my own purposes at some point (right now it's in a bunch of .txt files pasted together somewhere on my computer...).

    The argument for how realistic it may be is one that is always tempered by the fact that there are things we really want and those we could be more lenient on...and someone somewhere is always just short of getting something because of something they need a specific thing.

    Plus, I can't imagine a situation where having less information or delineation of wants/expectations is a good thing. Taking time to cover as many bases as possible is actually a good step to address issues before they come up.

    If you expect your sub to shave legs, maintain make up, and dress classy at all times you have to allow the sub at least a few hours every day to perform these activities.  So that means a few hours each day that your sub is not available to be serving you.  Then there is also the question of your sub having the money for the clothing and make up (it costs a lot more than men every believe).



    Someone has been feeding you a serious line of bullshit if you think keeping shaved, putting on makeup and dressing nice every day takes several hours a day. While it's certainly not cheap, it really doesn't have to be expensive either.


    I would wonder if he has ever been with a woman or how many people in this thread have been in serious D/S dynamics based on the replies.


    From having five sisters, to a girlfriend, to a my ex-wife, trough a couple more girlfriends, and currently living with my Mistress virtualy my entire life I have lived with one or more women.  Yea, I have a pretty good idea of how long it takes a woman to shower, completely shave, put on make up, put together an outfit and get dressed.  None of the women I've known  did all that every single day just because it took too much time.  Hell I've known men that take two hours every morning just getting ready to go to work.  The point stands that giving the sub a long list of daily requirements means you have to give the sub time to perform those tasks.  If the tasks require supplies such as make up and clothing money has to be budgeted for those costs.

    Well it seems like everyone has already covered this, and I agree: always good to spend time thinking about coming up with SOME rules or guidelines, but this long of a list is just NOT realistic for daily life. Personally the part that stuck out and really bothered me was the whole the submissive is only allowed to sleep on the bed with the Dom is she's tied up blindfolded etc or otherwise must sleep on the floor. This isn't taking into account a few things. First off, and there may be people whose relationships function differently and I can respect that, I see sharing a bed with someone as a way to build trust and intimacy, and I would be really hurt if my Master wasn't comfortable just letting me sleep next to him. But really the big thing about the sleeping arrangements thing that bothers me is that it's not taking into account the sub's individual PHYSICAL needs. What if the sub is a severe insomniac? What if the sub needs to use the bathroom in the middle of the night....would you really want her to have to wake you up to untie her, or wouldn't it be easier for her to just get up and go to the bathroom and let you sleep? What if she has back problems and it is absolutely agonizing for her to sleep on the floor or tied up? In this day and age many people of all walks of life do live with some level of back pain and general aches, and if it's bad enough where the sub is falling asleep during the day from the lack of being able to comfortably sleep at night then she's really not going to be much good to you.
    I'm still a relative newbie, but just my two cents as a sub :)

     I am color coding my replies.

    A few of those would never fly with me, since I don't care to be a snazzy well dressed person ALL the time, and I don't like necklaces and other things on my neck, let alone tight necklaces.

    I really do like the option to address the Master as something other than MAster when Master wouldn't be apropriate. I for one would never put up with having to call him MAster when the situation wasn't apropriate, since it could harm his job or his reputation or the relationship with family.

    I'd be like yeah right in your dreams buddy if you approached me with the rule in blue, cause I believe there's a time and a place for sexual interactions and general public aint it.

    I don't believe in un nessisary shaving, so we wouldn't be compatible there, but that really doesn't matter since you're asking my opinion, not courting me.

    The idea of set punishments may be fun, but I don't believe it's apropriate or condusive to anything to have set punishments for certain things. Each infraction is different and it varies, and so should the punishment.

    Unless of course it's something like being rude and sassy will always result in mouth washing with soap, then that's acceptible to have as a set rule for a set reason.

    I talk a ton, so I'd never be interested in someone who'd want me to always ask for permission to speak or restrict my speach.

    I am also not interested in set rules about what sub will do first thing in morning to wake dom, Ie blow job or fondling. I'm very much spontanious about sex, and I don't like set expectations.


    I don't masturbate often, but when I do I like to do it whenever I wish I am also working on some sexual issues and hang ups, and restricting my self pleasuring wouldn't be condusive to that.

    I like panties, they're cute and a fun accesory,  and I actually need them, so I wouldn't agree to any demand or request that panties not be worn unless he wants them.

    After that there's to many to comment on them all and the align code you used to align it when you typed is showing up and fucking everything up w hen I hit reply.

    Hell for me, just one or two of those rules would be a HUGE undertaking, since I am a sloppy dresser and quite happy to be so. I have tons of nice clothing, that's not what I mean by sloppy though, What I mean is I don't care if top matches the bottom I don't care if it's wrinkled or kind of dirty and I don't care if I go out in my night gown and I don't care if I'm not wearing a bra with my over large shirt when I head out. And I am quite ok with wearing something that has minor rips and tears. But that is something I am w*orking on changing because in the past I have had so few opertunities to wear my nice things,  since I refuse to wear my good clothing to eat out in and I refuse to wear my fancy duds just for going to families house, mostly being a home body that I am it means they were never worn I have grown out of them before ever wearing them and some of my clothes cost a lot of money.... .

    So every time we go out, for more than a quick trip to Walmart for 5 minutes I put on one of my brand new tops and my gorgious new skirts, and that way my gorgious clothing is worn, and it's really no extra effort since I was going to get dressed anyway. Infact the pictures on my profile, the shirts  one of my new purchases  and the skirts are of of my new purchases.

    I'm curious how many human beings it would actually require to enforce all that at all times. Even on my domliest days, I wouldn't have the energy to enforce all of the enforcable points...

    All kidding aside, relationships (and life in general) are not so linear and static, so I'd say something like this would not be workable. I'll also agree much of it is fantasy fodder.

    I'm thinking less focus on logistics and organization, and more on creating a healthy, happy relationship would work a bit better, but that's just my opinion. Also, I'd be willing to bet most submissive women who would be willing to go along with at least the majority of this would very much prefer to learn all this from YOU as opposed to reading it from a piece of paper...I guess what I'm saying here is that you're short-changing yourself by cutting past a good bit of the fun stuff...

    Edited cause I caught myself sugar-coating the truthiness a bit too much...

    In reading through the list, one thing stuck out... The rules regarding what she is to call You are inconsistent. In the first instance she is allowed to use You given name in certain instances, to use the address that is appropriate. In the others, she is to only call You Master or Sir. Also, using Master or Sir at the beginning of every sentence gets old very quickly, on both parts (ever been to boot camp? "Sir, yes Sir!" arrrrrgh!!)

    May i suggest stating that the tone must be respectful, but not requiring constant use of an honorific? If she is not using the word Master constantly, then it means more when she does. Also, is there room in Your dynamic for laughter and jokes? i am allowed to tease and joke with my Master, and it is understood that i will not be rude or disrespectful when doing it.

    i would also state that while You use the term submissive, the rules outlines sound more like very strict slavery.

    As a good girl who rarely gets punished, i would suggest that getting my ass beat red and kneeling for an hour (on these creaky knees!) for a minor infraction is really overkill. For a serious infraction, yes, well and good. In training (whether slaves, pets or kinder) it is important that the punishment fit the infraction. When i make a small mistake, forgetting a small matter of protocol, all it requires is a frown and a reminder.

    May i also say that You have not listed the positives a girl will get from serving. When she does well, what is her reward? Is there incentive for her to look for new ways to please? Some girls find satisfaction in service itself, but most don't. There has to be a reason for a girl to accept the restrictions You have placed on her.

    This set of rules is a good starting point, though.

    Rules are made to be broken--always. The more rules you have the less obedience you will get.


    That is absolute BULLSHIT!

    It's absolute reality, but that's really a different thread topic, now isn't it?


    Lol, i was thinking of that idiotic list of 128 slave rules somebody brings up every so often when i read this. Not that is wayyyyyy too many rules.

    Hmmmm….rules. I actually like rules. Rules are a good thing, they give you an idea of where the boundaries are, and a flexible base on which to build a relationship. One thing that has to be understood about rules though is that they change over time. As people become more familiar with each other and their likes and dislikes; the rules will change. And that is not a bad thing; life itself is fluid, always changing.

    As others have already stated, your list is a good starting point for keeping an eye on what YOU want and need; but unless you are writing them out with a specific person in mind, they will not work in a relationship simply because you have not taken into account the other person yet.

    You have to address the issues that life itself brings; issues that are not thought of on a daily basis. Emergencies, family obligations, work obligations, health issues, etc. These are not things that are going to adhere to your list of rules; they are things that are going to thwart them. You need to be prepared to address these as they arise; not alone, but together as a couple or as a family.

    One last thing….remember that rules generally should not be broken…BUT, they can be bent to fit the relationship as it develops.

    Yea, I have a pretty good idea of how long it takes a woman to shower, completely shave, put on make up, put together an outfit and get dressed.  None of the women I've known  did all that every single day just because it took too much time.  Hell I've known men that take two hours every morning just getting ready to go to work.  The point stands that giving the sub a long list of daily requirements means you have to give the sub time to perform those tasks.  If the tasks require supplies such as make up and clothing money has to be budgeted for those costs.


    45 minutes, start-to-finish.  :)  Sometimes 60 minutes if the hair is being difficult (I have long hair).  It's really not that hard... lol.  Do I do it every day?  Not if I'm not leaving the house, but usually 6 days/week easily.  If a guy took 2 hours to get ready for the day, I'd be wondering what in god's name he was doing!

    Me too mc1234. I do the whole routine, including shaving, every single day. Full make-up, hair, dressed for the office, jewelry, the works. Start to finish under an hour.  I have to wonder what takes these women ( or men ) the he references two hours.

    This makes me wonder why more men do not just fork out 3 grand and buy themselves a REALDOLL.
    If you had one of those you can pretty much toss out the submissives may think what they want, part.
    Seriously guy.. do you at any point consider that the submissive may actually be a human female?
