Protocol: It's Not Just for Dignitaries or Computers!
Instructed by Slave Pug

Protocol often refers to an established code of conduct: the use of specific behaviors or rituals. What is the point of protocol within a Dominant/submissive or Master/slave relationship? Who determines what the protocol will include? What is the benefit of establishing a protocol? Is there a downside to using protocol? What about using protocol in public places?

Whether you are in a M/s or D/s relationship, or just prefer a bit of D/s energy during your s/m play; protocol can be utilized to enhance your interactions. Drawing from her years of experience as well as the input of attendees; Slave Pug will offer insight into how protocol can be used, why people choose to implement protocol, and what it can potentially entail.
