- Touch your submissive often – in APPROPRIATE ways! A simple hand on the back, brushing the hair off the face, or holding hands shows love, companionship, and caring.
- Manners Matter! Using appropriate words such as please and thank you and looking out for your submissive shows respect as well as protective tendencies.
- Order for your submissive when at a restaurant or bar. You can always look at your sub with a questioning raised eyebrow to ensure that what you have ordered correctly. This can show that you know your sub so well, you know what he/she will like. The question shows that he/she also has the right to contradict you.
- Compliment your submissive. This shows appreciation for his/her tastes, opinions, and choices.
- Never, ever disrespect your submissive in public. Public humiliation or gossip is never appropriate for someone whom you respect and love. HOWEVER, if your sub is into humiliation, do so in a place where everyone knows the score and won’t think you’re just an asshole.

these are all very true, showing a sense of commitment between Sir and his submissive, a level of intimacy and respect between them. Sir

A great list of behaviors many Doms fail to do!
As I thought about these traits you listed I realized that I had seen most of not all these behaviors in many(butt not all,) of the D/s stories I have read but I had never really attributed them to dominance until I saw your list.Thank you!
