Je parlez Francais, et je comprenez le mot en francais, mais tous les nous parlez en anglais ici, mon ami. _big


I just have negative feelings about "Madame" in English, personally, for my own use.
and those ladies here who use that term for themselves please understand that I do not feel that way about you if you use that term for yourself...I just answered the question in reguards to how I feel about the terms in relationship to myself.


Note: While I am bilingual French and English I know my French spelling sucks so I apologize to those who Hate misspellings. _wink

I prefer Ma'am, since it's more formal than Mistress.

I prefer Ma'am for a couple of reasons...

First, if we are out in public, a well trained sub can still call me Ma'am without getting too many stares from the religious right. And, since I live in the buckle of the Bible Belt, that is a good thing. Around here, someone calling me Mistress woud get me tarred, feathered, and run out of town on a rail. (which, by the way, sounds very funny, but it is actually a very painful way to die.)

Secondly, I could never really get into somone calling me Mistress all the time...Since I am "mature" anyways (hehe) I don't mind the age connotation in the word Ma'am.

Growing older is mandatory...growing up is optional.

I have to agree, Mistress makes me feel like some married man's affair and Ma'am just sounds old. I always loved the ring of "Master", and I like to use the masculine. Gender bending has always been a bit of my thing and I often identify myself in a masculine role.

I really like the "Madame" idea, though. Reminding me of the use of "Madame" for a female pimp is quite nice, one of my greatest fantasies is pimping out my sub.

In the beginning when I started getting seriously into S&M I did find the term "Mistress" strange on account of the usual meaning.
But somehow,it became more of a female term for "Master".

Also, I haven't used it yet,but Madame does sound very elegant.

You either take it all or reverse roles. If You choose to reverse roles....You better be fucking good at it.

I usually use the honorific "Mistress," but you do make valid points that the term perhaps describes one as an adulteress, rather than a Domme. I was initially required to always, always address my Domme with "Mistress," but W/we found that it was a bit awkward when used in public. "Ma'am" is still used commonly, carries a less negative stigma, and is more discreet to use around vanilla folks (in my opinion). Either title works just fine, what's important is the dedication and submission from the sub saying it to you.

Mistress. I am in a monogamous marriage. Its always yes Mistress or no Mistress.

"no Mistress" ? When would that be appropriate?_evil

At the moment I'm enjoying being called "Sir" by my subbie hubbie, but we play around with various words.

Am OK with both, however I feel like changing from time to time depending on the mood too. And to avoid routine.

I am Ma'am. Mistress is a title that someone I have a long standing relationship can earn the right to call me. But it's a more formal title in my eyes.

Ohh to call you mistress


Personally I prefer Lady unless being addressed by someone who wears my own personal collar. Mistress I feel is a title that should be considered sacred to those that are actually your owned.

lol hey maybe you can call me Mistress little miss frisky_tongue
