I don't usually call my Master, "Master," rather I call Him Daddy, no matter who is around. When speaking of Him to others, I tend to call Him Michael. This is just what is most comfortable for us. However, I do have leather roots, and in leather, submissive-types are expected to give respect to Dominant-types by addressing them as they wish to be addressed, whether it is "Daddy Bob", "Master Roy" or "Mistress Mine". I would never dream of addressing these folks by their first names unless they specifically asked me to. To think of it, most of the Leatherfolk I know address each other as "Master so and so" or "boy so and so" regardless of station. Dominant-types whom I do not know well, but am introduced to by another leatherperson I respect are usually addressed as Sir or Ma'am unless they request I address them differently.. The best way to know, is to ask the person how they wish to be addressed. I have never been offended by anyone who wished to address me as Ma'am or Mistress, I simply tell them "my name is michael's or if you prefer to use an honorific, Miss will do. Thank you."
