The intent of 24-7 as I interpret it means you're conscious of each others positions.

Even when apart during the week because of work and not living together, the responsibility that falls on the dominant to provide the ability to keep her submission present in daily routines.

Being as others have suggested performing work duties to your perfectionist expectations. Or even something as simple as picking out her bra and panties for the week. In a 24-7 power exchange it's physically and emotionally not possible to have it active 24-7, if I had a crappy day at work, the only thing I'm going to be concerned about is putting her to work to make my evening better. If they've had a bad day at work, the last thing she needs is another boss yelling in her face. You do things in a way that keep it close, and know that it's always there like a warm cloak weighing down on her shoulders, and a heavy chain that weighs in your hand hanging at your side.

It's whether or not you do things with the intent of a power exchange. Not that the power exchange needs to be explicit in every single waking moment.

My experience was the opposite. He would give commands which I couldn't do since he would not be able to keep track of my schedule. Nor was he available when I had an emergency come up that would change things.

If I couldn't reach him, and I frequently couldn't, then he couldn't be asked for anything.

Both of those things can and do happen, as I've seen from a live-in marriage that fell apart, when the people live together so I don't see how that even factors in. Sorry but having seen people who live together fail to track schedules and be there for each other, I don't buy for a second that people living together are magically more 24/7 than people who aren't.

If someone wants to be there when there is an emergency, they will be there. Valyraen has driven 4 hours - right after getting off work - to get to me while I was crying, fully prepared to drive another four back to get me somewhere "safe" if he couldn't resolve the issue. Fortunately, he did and we were able to wait till the next day to leave but still. There was an emergency, he wanted to be there, he was there.

I don't see how people who see each other once a year for a week can be 24/7 or owned or anything but a fantasy. Unless they used to live together and are temporarily separated due to work, school, or military service. In which case, the relationship is already set up and they need just continue what they have done, with adaptations to the separation.

For me, you need to either live together or damned close and be seeing each other multiple times a week.
Even with that, it doesn't mean he has rules set down for every minute of every day, simply that he can tell me what to do should he choose to.

And no, I don't call him by any honorific. We are not just in a d/s relationship; we are lovers, friends, step-parents to each other's kids, and sometimes even work together. A power title would limit us to just that in the relationship, it would not encompass the multitude of our lives.


The above is us.  We've been everything from living together to living a world apart.  Yet, he barely has known what to do with himself the two times (yes, exactly two) where he's been in the situation that he's had to call Me something other than the title that's been in place.

I tend to see it like this.  I'm not any less MP's wife when he's deployed.  I'm not any less of clip's Mistress when he's not in the same room, either.

Ok, I am having a.."debate" with a sub on what a 24/7 relationship is (there is many interpretations of this).
My take is even if you are not together you are still joined as a D/s couple. and refer to each as that, Dom/sub..just as you would in a vanilla relationship GF/BF.

My question.
When you talk to your Master/Dom on the phone or online, do you refer to him as Sir/Master or just call him by his SN/Street name?


When considering this topic to begin I recalled times past. A time when to hear my given name spoken by my Beloved Companion, who has since past on, would be the ultimate experience in feeling her love, that by the way rendered me speechless. Somehow she was able to speak my name, with her French Canadian accent, and I would literally never want to stop hearing her speak my name. Her ability to reach past any barrier I had constructed was magical. When she addressed me as Master, I too would feel the essence of her love for me in a manner that is unforgettable to this day.

Currently, I have began relating with a lovely submissive lady. I have experienced her to call me by my given name and also addressing me as Master. I do not object to her addressing me as Master, as the term does speak to how I relate with her. When she speaks my given name I have no objections either. No fireworks or waterfalls. I do though greatly appreciate her submissive heart and willingness to be respectful, discreet and appropriate.

Regarding addressing me as Master in public settings, in particular where others are unaware of our current relational arrangement, she has proven to be every bit respectful regarding the given protocol that has been mutually discussed and agreed upon. What I do not care for are terms of endearment used to address me with or in reference to myself.

I kept a slave once who needed time to regroup, etc. from an abusive situation she had been held captive in by an abusive man. After a bit of time past she began to address me with terms that were altogether inappropriate. I know she meant no harm but still in all I found her use of terms to be offensive since I did not reciprocate with similar affections toward her. I surely made it quite clear to cease from such language when referring to myself.

On another note my lovely Irish lady friend , who is quite dear to me, tends to address me as handsome more often than not. I allow such as she means no disrespect in addressing me as she does. Also she has known me for many years now and did know myself and My Beloved Companion prior to her passing.

At present I do not allow such terms of endearment from my submissive lady I am relating with. Perhaps one day I will. Indeed, I would say that it is a good match thus far with my new submissive lady. Protocol does have a rightful place in my Household and in all I set forth to accomplish. My submissive lady appears to be in alignment with similarities of mine that contribute to how I relate, which includes high protocol. A breathe of fresh air indeed to mutually share similarities, even how one is addressed and referred to.

Interesting topic. Thank you.

Take care!

Well, just my .02, but I do think in order to be 24/7 you sort of need to be living together or damn close to it and in a fairly protocol oriented situation. As in the dynamic is 24/7 also. We are together every day and most nights but even though he is very clearly the dominant partner I don't feel like I have any set rules and things that I see a lot of sub/slaves have here. He could change that tomorrow but as long as I defer to him with respect, he treats me as an intelligent woman, albeit a bit 1950's style.

I get amused when I see subs here claiming ownership by men they haven't even met. I don't take it seriously at all. It's just foolish.

I call him John 90% of the time, or sweetheart, baby, sexy or Johnny. On occasion or if things are intense or he wants it, I call him Sir, usually in a heated sexual moment or if I have gotten myself into deep shit somehow. I had a military upbringing so snapping into that "Yes Sir" mode is second nature thank god.

If I called him Master or Daddy he'd laugh or think I was being sarcastic. Or drunk.[;)].




agirl -> RE: 24/7? what does it mean to you? (12/24/2010 5:52:26 PM)

I call him Master pretty much all of the time. That's got little to do with any aspect of *24/7*, though.

24/7 what?

24/7 means "all the time"..to ME ie...always in charge, always comitted (in this context).

You KNOW when you are "24/7"...you don't have to be sleeping under the same roof to know that. It's your significant "other".

What I refer to him as, really has nothing to do with it. If I called him C***face ..still 24/7, still owned..albeit in deep shit!....lol

24/7 means just what it says. i do not live with my Master but he still has total control of me. We see each other every few days and when we are apart he calls me several times a day. i would never dream of calling Him anything other than Sir.
i have given myself to Him totally and am completely subservient to Him.
We did try once on a weekend away together just being vanilla lovers, it was totally alien to us and soon reverted to our natural D/s relationship.
i am so proud to wear his collar and to serve Him in any way that pleases Him.




leadership527 -> RE: 24/7? what does it mean to you? (12/28/2010 3:29:38 PM)

TO ME it means cohabitating and whatever authority dynamic is in play, it happens reasonably consistently throughout the day. However, it's one of those BDSM phrases that might mean anything so I assume nothing when someone else says it. I have heard people call themselves 24x7 when, in fact they had never worn a collar in the real world or ever actually submitted to someone face to face.
