“Politeness can be very effective. The pro domme I’ve been seeing for almost a year now is unfailingly polite, unless I’ve upset her, in which case she uses whatever toy is in her hand at the moment to do her talking. When she does say ‘please’ and ‘thank you’, it is said softly but that just adds to her command of the situation. Occasionally, she may say those words mockingly, if I’m too slow to respond. She never raises her voice because she knows she doesn’t have to. All her movements seem beautifully controlled, in contrast to the agitation I sometimes feel when the pain gets particularly intense and prolonged. I love that control, in her manners and in her movements, like the slow clack of spike heels on the wooden floor as she sidles over to the toy rack to select a new instrument. If she hurried, it wouldn’t be so effective. I wonder whether former president Theodore Roosevelt was thinking of a domme when he came up with the phrase ’speak softly and carry a big stick.’ Was the ’stick’ something like a hickory paddle perhaps? Yes, Miss Manners would approve of my mistress. ‘Please stick you bum out further. A little more… thank you.’ WHACK.”

My question for you, mistress, is: Do you have clients who ask you to treat them rudely?
