Are there any Masters out here who enjoy high protocol on a regular basis? If so, could you explain what kind of protocols you enjoy, and why you require/enjoy them? Thank you, ~sgs

Dr Robert Rubel wrote the book Protocols, It is basically his House Book, it is FILLED with High Protocol examples. Personally I myself am not charming enough to pull of High Protocol so I rarely expect it from my girls. I do however have them on high awareness when we are at a BDSM Social Event It is Important to me that they be aware of my needs as well as be found pleasing to all those who are in my pressence. They are to keep running tabs on what everyone is drinking as well as keep the ashtrays empty and replace all chairs as the mingle. I never require them to do a task that another Dominant's submissive might be expected to do however if an extended period of time goes on and the notice something that I would expect of them they will ask the Dominant if they can do anything for them and then give an example of what they noticed. Yes it has caused a slight mis feeling from time to time but in the end I know my girls are attentive to the needs of others and that is important to me in a open event of social situation. Steel

When My boy is with Me, I run high protocol. Those things that I enjoy and have in place is probably too long for here.

Thank you, ~sgs For a lot some people who have to deal with the pressures of work and who maybe in positions that require a certain mindset I believe that protocols may help the individual focus. As an example, some of these may work for you. Required upon returning home, take a 30-45 minute bathe where one basically washes the day away. They would then come and kneel before you and once given permission to speak, would reaffirm their devotion and loyalty to you and ask for their collar. One would accept their affirmation and place collar on. Once receiving the collar, they could ask if anything is desired, once receiving any instruction they would then ask and be granted the right to leave to complete any of those instructions. They would then rise, take three steps back, turn and depart. One may be desire special clothing is worn. How one wishes how is one to be served, either for a meal or snacks how they present themselves, standing a certain way or kneeling. Protocols on outings can also be used. How do they have the walk, behind or to the side? They can open doors. When they have completed all their tasks, are they simply dismissed or are they required to sit beside you and wait for further instructions. Some may have nighttime protocols; do they have them kneel by the bed? Maybe they must be escorted to bed. And once there are there nightly devotions before they are tucked in? Does the Dom lay with them until they fall asleep?. I am sure there are many more. You don't want to over load yourselves, and want to keep them simple and adjust as needed

All things being equal we would be running with at least 50% High protocol all the time, when all things are not equal, then we run what is required at the time.

Hi Acer49, Thank you for sharing those ideas.... I am really more interested in knowing... are there any Masters 'out there'... who consistently require high protocol on a regular basis? I know there are many who use it from time to time... but are there any who require it constantly... and if so... then please tell me, what kinds of protocol you require and why. I am not asking to philosophize on why or why not... I am asking to see if anyone actually uses high protocol consistently. Thanks though, for your ideas. ~sgs

SR and I use high protocol consistently, whether we have a servant in the household or not, and nearly -always- when we have a servant in-house. It is strictly for personal preference, but we use address protocols, station protocols (regarding where a servant may dine, sit, recreate, etc.), and other service-oriented protocols around things like meal service, tea service, greeting guests, calling-card protocols, etc., as is fitting a Victoriandustrial/Steampunk-oriented household.

Slaves are to kneel when I enter a room where they are and wait to be released from that position. Think of it as "standing at attention" on their knees. Slaves come to my feet to address me, and wait to be acknowledged. It isn't acceptable to shout something or ask a question from across the room. There is a ritual that a slave observes, from their knees, when serving or offering me something. Commands are always acknowledged with "yes, Master". Unless what I am commanding is physically impossible or would pose an imminent danger of some kind if carried out, it is to be carried out before addressing any question or concern that the slave might have about it. If they are unsure how to do what I am commanding, or unsure how I want it done, they may beg to ask, but only after acknowledging the command. Slaves walk to my right and at least a pace behind me when we are in public (I'm left handed). If a slave is begging for something from me, or to be granted a privledge, they always do so from their knees. If they are begging something of me (that I do something) they do so with their head to the floor. A slave may not agree with me in conversation, especially if I am stating my policy about something. Doing so implies that their agreement is desired or required. There are many others, and some of them depend on a slave's rank in the household at any given time. Some things are permissible for a "favored slave" that aren't permissible for a slave of lower status. This should give you some idea though.

To save Myself some keystrokes, I went back and found a post that I wrote a couple of weeks back. I hope this gives a better explanation. quote: ORIGINAL: LadyPact Quick reply. Understand that My collared sub does not live with Me, but there are certainly rules for those periods when he is staying with Me. Participation in rituals is a requirement. If I instill a ritual or a protocol, it will be followed until such time that I deem it no longer necessary or effective. My sub can request that a ritual be changed or dropped, but the final decision on such matters rests with Me. My sub is not permitted to play his music when I am first waking up. (Trust Me, if you heard it when you were waking up, you'd make this rule, too.) My sub is required to attend all lifestyle events that I attend unless his work requires him to be elsewhere. My sub is required to attend submissive support groups when possible. My sub does not sit on furniture without permission. He is permitted to sit at My feet. My sub does not eat before I have taken the first bite of a meal. If My sub is in the house when I am coming home, he is to be kneeling, eyes lowered, with My drink in his palm when I enter the door. My sub is to request My leave any time he must go to another room. This does include the bathroom. My sub is required to further his education of BDSM related activities. My sub is required to bring any concerns that he has regarding our dynamic to Me. There is no permission for him to hide his concerns. My sub is under full disclosure. There is no option for him not to tell Me the truth regarding any matter. I hope these examples have helped you.

Thank you, ~sgs While we are no longer high protocol, we were for about 2 years and I loved it. Speech was formal, I had to beg to be able to ask anything, I greeted him on my knees head to the floor as if kissing his feet (which I did sometimes, lol), I had a specific dress code for various situations, I was not allowed to speak his name, had to use 3rd person speech for a little while, etc. From there, he started dropping off things he began to find annoying, cumbersome or attention-grabbing in public. Third person speech was the first to go (it was highly annoying for an extended period of time, but very enlightening for a shorter period of time). He had me stop calling him Master in public and began using hand signals to direct me discreetly. The hand signals have mostly stopped now, as I have learned to anticipate his wants. The only protocol we have remaining that I can think of is that when I say "Yes Master," I must always follow immediately with a "Thank you," so it is "Yes, Master, thank you." Respectfully, amy

Thank you to everyone who has participated so far. I appreciate the glimpse into your household dynamics! ~sgs
