Protocol For The boy And The slave

"The purpose for slave protocol is always to support the slave's vocation and to help him focus on his journey, to mark him out as someone following a different path from the usual."

CONDUCTS OF GOOD FORM

• First, be clean outside and inside, always be prepared! Shower frequently, and generally be deodorant and cologne free. For work necessities there are scent free deodorants available. The preference for the natural scent of a hot, sweaty man in or out of leathers is a sexual stimulant and aphrodisiac that has been with mankind since the beginning of time. Colognes and deodorants mask the natural and what most Leathermen consider erotic smells of the male body and leather hides.
• Second, don't touch another individual without their expressed permission. Don't tweak nipples, grab an ass, bare or otherwise, fondle a basket or jock pouch or caress the leather or muscles of someone you don't know or are passing in a crowd. It's non-consensual. Included in this topic is touching another's hat, especially the more formal motor cycle cap which is generally worn by Tops.
• And, third, know and adhere to the credo of Safe, Sane and Consensual. Practice SAFE sex and S&M. Play SANEly, free of drugs and alcohol and clear of mind. Make sure all parties are CONSENSUALly involved in all activities taking place.

“Nothing in the protocol is intended to be demeaning or humiliating, though it can seem that way from the outside.”

APPEARANCE AND DRESS

• T-shirts, sleeveless t's or tank tops work for outer wear, plain black, white or red fit most occasions as do leather bar/event logo shirts. Some Leathermen adhere to an old tradition of white t-shirts for boys and slaves while Daddies and Masters Wear Black.
• New or worn black or blue jeans are regulation with or without chaps.
• Army fatigues, jean cutoffs or leather shorts are all appropriate. Black combat boots, Doc Martins or black lace up work boots are good foot wear for all Leather scenes.
• The masculine look of wearing boots (work, climbing, or hiking) of any color with cut offs or shorts may elicit negative personal bias among some Leather Men.
• The baggy and oversized clothes of many young Men and boys, symbolic of today's raw unrestrained male energy may draw reproach from some strict Leather enthusiasts.
• Never, ever wear underwear, even when allowed to wear street clothing, this includes thongs and bikinis! Don't! If something must be worn under jeans or shorts wear a jock, athletic or leather.
• Chaps, bare-assed or with jeans should fit as designed.
• Wearing a jacket, leather or Levi over a bare chest or a harness is okay.
• If you're going to wear a cap it should preferably be a baseball cap, black or black leather. Wear it brim forward. The leather "rebel" boy hats are an "old Guard" influence.
• Wear your keys and hankies on the right -- flag correctly and consistently.
• If you are a boy looking for a Daddy or a slave looking for a Master don’t wear a collar or a lock and chain around your neck. Hanging these symbols of servitude and submission along with keys on the right is OK.
• If you are a boy with a Daddy or currently the slave property of a Master wear the Daddy’s or Master’s collar or lock and chain at all times especially when in a leather friendly environment. These symbolize your commitment, submission and subjugation to Your Daddy or Master’s Will, for all to see.
• Never wear tennis shoes with leather anything.
• At Formal Leather Functions wear all black consisting of black leather or black jeans. Where laws allow boys and slaves may attend in a natural state (naked) with the minimum of leathers required to satisfy local and state statutes.
• Shaved head, military cut, Mohawk, or moderate to shoulder length hair, should always be neat and clean.
• In the confines of the Master's Home or the Home of someone in the Master/slave Leather Community the slave is generally kept naked.
• Any article of clothing or item Placed on a slave shall remain there until the Master Removes it. A slave shall never remove anything that the Master Places on the slave.

ATTITUDE, APPROACH AND DEPORTMENT

Your attitude should be one of submission, mentally, physically, and verbally.

Standing with feet set at shoulder width and hands held behind your back resting on the tail bone with chest out and head up, communicates both submission and pride.

Be friendly and smile showing confidence and good self image.

Use “Sir” when addressing all men, as in “Yes, Sir!” and “No, Sir”. A bottom, boy, or slave will quickly tell you not to call them, “Sir!” if that is a title they are not entitled to. Remember in the "old Guard" experienced and respected slaves were also called "sir".

When communicating with a Master, a slave will answer questions directed to it with "Yes, SIR", "No, SIR", or the shortest number of words needed to answer the question.

Approach a Top respectfully. If the Top is not engaged with someone then simply begin the conversation with an “Excuse me, Sir...” tell Him who you are and that you would like to submit yourself to His Instruction. When approaching a known Master, it is accepted protocol to begin by saying "Master, Sir!", then await His Acknowledgment.

Never interrupt a Top engaged in a scene or during “aftercare” with His boy or slave.

Never join in a scene uninvited.

When accompanying a Daddy or Master in a bar or at a gathering a boy or slave will walk to the Left Side of a Daddy or Master and just behind but within His peripheral vision.

A slave stands no matter what the circumstance when its Master stands.

At a restaurant, the slave must remain standing at the table until Instructed to sit by i'ts Master. A slave should not assume that it will order it's own food. At any time during the meal if the Master stands, the slave must stand also and wait until the Master Sits again and Instructs slave to sit unless Ordered to do otherwise. The slave should never take a bite of food or sip of beverage until it's Master and all other Masters Present have done so.

Whenever anyone touches, fondles or grabs a slave in front of the slave's Master, the slave should not attempt to interfere or avoid such attention but must defer any Comments or Action concerning the activity to it's Master.

If a slave is not with it's Master and anyone touches, fondles, grabs or attempts to Use the slave without the Owner's Permission the slave will respectfully say, "Sir, this slave is the property of Master _____, please obtain His Permission to use it!” The slave should not indicate interest or discouragement.

A slave refers to every man, regardless of age or position as "Sir" at least once in every conversation.

In written communication a slave will sign it's name always in lower case as well as use lower case when referring to itself in any manner.

Like wise in written communication when referring to a Master or any reference to a Master such as Him, His, You, Your etc. a slave should Capitalize the first letter of the words

Always thank a Master for every Acknowledgment, Instruction, Direction, Command and Correction of any aspect of the slave's behavior or conduct (both Verbal and Physical).

Presenting

"Presenting" is an act and position(s) taken by a slave to communicate "the strength of the slave and the power of his obedience" as well as its submission to a Master. There are four basic positions that are common throughout the Master/slave Community. Masters Use a variety of Labels for these positions and may alter the positions to Their Desires.

1. On Knees: the slave kneels upright (not sitting back on its heels), with knees spread shoulder wide, arms locked behind its back, each hand clasping the opposite forearm (or wrist); the chest is held forward, the head may be bowed or held up however the eyes should be cast down. This position is sometimes called "Formal Present" or "Full Present".
2. Standing: the slave stands upright, with feet spread shoulder wide, arms locked behind its back, each hand clasping the opposite forearm (or wrist); the chest is held forward, the head may be bowed or held up however the eyes should be cast down. This position is sometimes called "Standing Formal Present" or "Standing Present"
3. One Knee: the slave kneels upright with only the right knee on the ground while the left knee is bent; the chest is held forward. This is the position used most while serving the Master from the slave's hand (refreshments, the paper, etc.).
4. Chest to Floor: the slave starts out kneeling with both knees spread wider than shoulder width to allow for maximum access to slave's ass hole and balls: hands are placed flat on the floor in front of it with pointer fingers and thumbs touching to form a triangle. The slave places its forehead into the triangle bringing its chest to the floor. The slave's upper legs should be perfectly vertical with its ass stuck up high. This position is sometimes called, "Submission Present", “Inspection Present” or "Punishment Present".
5. Standing Relaxed: this is the same as the Standing Present except that the hands are left open and the left is placed into the right, above the ass crack. This position is sometimes called, "At Ease", "Public Present" or "Parade Rest".
