Refining Things

Back in December, I posted about the rules and expected behaviors that Master wanted to put in place for our relationship. I also talked about the lack of a contract between Master and I. Well, seven months later we still don't have a contract but we have added a few rules so that Master can have things run the way he wants them to.

We have established more rules about what I wear. For example, I am no longer allowed to wear shoes of any sort in the house and have to ask to put them on when we leave. Socks are okay because my feet get super cold in the winter and if they get cold enough they ache badly. The reasoning behind this rule is largely symbolic. If I can't access footwear, I can't run very far. Not that I plan to run, but the symbolism is still there. I am expected to wear a skirt in the house but am not allowed to do so if I am going out and Master is not with me.

My behavior and the way in which I am allowed to act in certain ways has also been changed. For example, unless it is for work, when I go out I am no longer allowed to make eye contact with men. I must not order for myself or speak in general and it is up to Master to allow me to have what I want to eat or drink. It has always been his prerogative to choose what I eat or drink but it has been codified a little more now.

I must serve Master first (something already in place) and allow him to start eating first (also already in place). I must wait for permission to start eating. If Master wants something, I am to go and get it. I wait for permission to get into bed. All of these things have more or less been in place but are now being enforced a little more precisely.

There are other rules and expectations but they are fairly minor. I am enjoying the way that Master is continuing to increase the level of control he is enforcing. I don't think that things would have been as successful if we had jumped into a lot of rules and regulations but the fact that things are developing slowly and steadily means that it will be easier to implement them and uphold them.
