My observation is that generally there has been a de-evolution of the usage of sir and ma’am.  Certainly there are geographical areas where it is used generically, ostensibly to show respect for one’s elders. However, in this day and age, informality seems to be the rule rather than the exception. Personally, I seldom use either (sir or ma’am) except in jest or as an attempt at sarcasm.

One thing I will mention is that for us, in the beginning when it was primarily a play relationship, I did use Sir. But unlike abuddingdom, for us it has evolved the other way. We've pretty much dropped the demand for honorifics except in the occasional play scene, and even then rarely. He knows who he is to me and where he is in my heart, and that's more important than a formal title.

I don't say Sir would you like some more tea, I use Honey. And that works better for us.

Des, Your program works for you but was the use of "Sir" ever a demand?
