Way back when calling men "Sir" was expected common courtesy. I do understand where you are coming from, but it's not your job to worry about what men these days think when you call them that. I can relate because my Dom has requested I do the same, although I have found it a bit difficult not to disobey because it can be weird. Perhaps your Dom wants you to feel that type of humility. Foe me, calling someone "Sir", Dom or not doesn't necessarily mean i am openly expressing my submission, however, those "Sirs" may take it that way. But in my eyes, I'm not necessarily showing respect towards a Dom, but rather respect in general if you think of it that way. Calling someone Sir doesn't make them your Dom, but it can express your awareness of the Dom...doesn't mean you're not on equal levels. The whole "friend before Sir" or progressing to saying Sir or however you sum it up is kind of benign to me (I know I may be contradicting myself) because hell I have vanilla and non vanilla guy friends whom I call Sir I try to think of it like giving my guy friends a nickname that happens to be the same for each. Mind over matter. Are you uncomfortable with it to the point that you avoid or refuse doing it? If so, talk to your Dom about it. If not, explain to the Sirs that it is not an invitation for them to dominate you or even think they can.
