ok, ok, I just had to see it in print once because the nice man at the driver's license place said it was too many letters!

Seriously, I like Mistress and Maam, well when he whispers, "My goddess" that pretty much gets My attention!

Mine addresses me as her Baal, after the Semitic word meaning lord, master, or god, depending on context. It was also used to mean husband at times, as the tribes considered the wife to be the property of her husband.

MsL or Lushus by acquaintances in the bdsm world. Mistress or Goddess by those who are mine.

If you call me Lush or Boobs I'll probably answer with sarcasm or not at all.

I like to be addressed as Princess. I don't like ma'am because it reminds me of customer service. I don't like Mistress because I associate it with the woman a married man would cheat with and I'm not into that. I don't like Goddess because of there is only one God. I have called myself Princess for many years, a long time before I came into the life. The name is based on my Christian faith, since Christ is the King of Kings, that makes me a princess since I have been born to a royal priesthood and will go one day to the kingdom. I think being dominant is a natural trait for me. And I believe God wants us to always be ourselves. So technically, according to my theory, we are all princes and princesses. I enjoy hearing a submissive call me princess because I also like the tenderness of it. I am a hopeful romantic and love intimacy.

I am Nahemah (or My real name), MsNahemah or Ma'am to subs/slaves that I do not own. I hold the term "Mistress" in very high regard. I agree completely with TammyJo in that it is a title that is earned by *Me*. Just as everyone would agree here, not every Woman that slips on a pair of boots is a Dominant, or rather, a Mistress. The term "Mistress" holds awesome power and endearment in it for Me and it makes My heart melt when I hear My one say it. Although I must agree, hearing My boy whisper "Yes, Goddess" wouldn't be so bad either!

I am reading this thread with interest,. I wonder how all of the Dommes feel about a Domme that insists on being called "Mistress" when it is wrong for my way of thinking. My past Mistress in fact demanded that I call only her by the title of Mistress. So it would be wrong for me to call any other Domme Mistress. If it is a title that you prefer and I was to to politely tell you that it was against my orders from my Mistress to call any other Domme Mistress, would you conceed and give me another name to call you?
I had run into a few that still insisted after I explained that I could not or would not call them Mistress. Needless to say, our conversation was brief. I always repsected my Mistress's wishes. And I personally agree it would be wrong. That title has to be earned.

Absolutely, without question. Any Domme worth a hill of beans would never make a submissive go against the orders of his Owner, even if it is something that *She* didn't prefer. Who should his loyalty be to? You, just for being a Domme and prefering that they call You Mistress, or to his Owner and Mistress? It's a very black and white situation. If I put Myself in his Owner's shoes, there is NO WAY I would want My boy calling another Domme "Mistress", even if it was something She demanded. She shouldn't be making demands on an owned boy in the first place. I think he has every right to call Her by Her name or Ma'am, instead.

Edited for typos!

Oh How Embarassing! I didn't realize I had jumped into "Ask A Mistress" when I posted. I just follow Ms. Cesca around...but NEVER slavishly *GRIN*.

"Mistress" is fine for those people who feel uncomfortable calling me "LadyJayne" although I feel this should be an earned title (having said that, I've recently been amused by being told I am a 'legend' - I always thought 'legends' where dead and I'm not dead yet!! ). But my slave is instructed to call me "M'Lady" or "My Lady". ----- "Ma'am" ends up sounding like 'mum' and "Madam" gets me thinking of brothel madams! - or doormen at hotels.

On the other hand, I'm more than happy for people other than my slave to call me by my real name, with no honorific. Even my husband's two slaves have been instructed to do so when in low protocol.

I would have to agree with Lady Adora. Those that I do not own it is usually Lady or Ma'am. It does show respect.

Yes, I agree with "Lady" or "Ma'am" as a form of address from those that I do not own. "Ms. Topaz" is also fine. All of those terms show respect.

When a submissive addresses Me simply by My first name, I find it very irritating, like nails on a chalkboard.

For a submissive or slave that I own, "Mistress" is like music to My ears :) I do feel that it is presumptuous and overly personal for someone I don't own to address Me that way..

I like Mistress best but Goddess will do.
When first chatting with someone I prefer Ma'am,
it shows authority without Ownership.Of course that is just My opinion.
I dont object however if they start right off with Mistress or Goddess.

I'm fine with a polite "Ma'am" or "Lady Morgynn" from subs at large. If they are seriously under consideration, I like "My Lady." One supplicant had an awesome way of calling me "My Queen" or "My Sunshine" (he was not American, obviously). Of course, he turned out to be one of those players/wannabe's we all like to complain about, but I forgave him that, just because I was so fond of him because of how addressed me, and we still keep in touch! LOL.

I truely despise being addressed as "Mistress" by anyone who has not earned the right - it is nothing short of presumptuous.
I like polite formaility - Ms. Black.
My friends call me Marina.
As Dommes and subs are all unique - and form unique combinations - I am addressed differently by different subs (and sometimes it even depends on the type of scene we're engaging in).
Whew!
LOL!

Since this is personal preference, I like ma'am. It works where ever I might be and if it raises an eyebrow, I simply state "since when has good manners gone out of style?"

As for Goddess, I am not a deity. Neither am I a Highness or Empress, since the last time I checked I don't yet own a country or am I in succession for any crown.

The term Mistress I feel has been corrupted by the pro side of this lifestyle. Based on protocol as I was taught "Mistress" implies I own you. Mistress Melissa would be more correct. For our Gorean friends I understand and acknowledge their use of the word.

ORIGINAL: LadyAdora

This is my first post here and hopefully not my last. I prefer to be addressed by those I do not own as Lady or Ma'am, I just find it respectful. I do NOT like to be addressed as Mistress or M'Lady by any I do not currently own or even formerly owned. I will usually defer to an owners wishes at a social gathering if they do not want theirs calling me Lady or Ma'am, but that is very rare, we try keep a high protocol at all times.

Lady Adora

Same here, call me Cloudz or Ms Cloudz if you are a sub. I neither require nor desire to be called Mistress by anyone who has not earned it.
