PROTOCOL

Every relationship is different just as in the "vanilla" world.  There are some basic guidelines that are (or should be) respected however.  Generally it is accepted that in writing Dom/Domme is capitalized and sub/slave is typed in lower case - basically as symbolism.  A sub/slave that is NOT your sub/slave should be treated with just as much respect as anybody else.  If they are not yours you have no right to touch them or order them around without explicit permission from their Dom (or themselves if they are unowned).  It is generally accepted that the petitioner draft the contract.

1. The Needs of the sub/slave comes first.
2. The Needs of the Dom.
3. The Wants of the Dom.
4. The Wants of the sub/slave.
