High Protocol Fetish
High protocol (also known as 'High Protocol BDSM') is a slang term used in the BDSM community, which refers to a specific set of rules and etiquette that must be followed in aDominination and submission (dominance and submission) relationship. This lifestyle is characterized by a deep level of intimacy and control, often involving psychological manipulation and conditioning.
The term High Protocol was coined in the 1980s by John Bambis, who was a prominent figure in the development of pornography and sexual ethics. He defined High Protocol as a style of adult entertainment that involves role-playing, domination, and submission. The term 'high protocol' was used to describe the elaborate set of rules and procedures that are observed in these encounters, which often include formal greetings, submission ceremonies, and specific roles and permissions.
Rules and Etiquette
High protocol is an intricate dance of power and control where each partner assumes specific roles and follows strict instructions. Some of the most common rules and etiquette observed in high protocol include:
-
Titles: In a high protocol relationship, individuals are typically referred to by a master, mistress, driver, etc., depending on their level of submission and the preferences of their partner. Submissions are always polite and respectful when addressing their dominant, using formal language such as "Sir," "Mistress," or "Driver."
-
Kneeling and Submission: In many high protocol scenarios, submissives and slaves kneel or crouch before their dominants, seeking approval, acceptance, and attention. They are taught to be mindful of their tone of voice, body language, and movements to ensure they have permission to speak or act.
-
Eye Contact and Silence: It is expected that submissives will not make eye contact with their dominants, as it may be perceived as offensive or confrontational. Speech is usually limited to brief, polite phrases or mantras that acknowledge their presence and are initiated by the dominant.
-
Personal Space: High protocol participants are encouraged to maintain a certain level of personal space, which can be influenced by the dominant's comfort and the nature of their relationship. Violating personal space can be seen as disrespectful or as a form of betrayal.
-
Service and Submission: Submissive duties can range from serving tea and coffee to cleaning the master's house or performing specific tasks or exercises that enhance the dominant's pleasure or control. Some submissives also offer their physical bodies through exposure or specific poses to allow their dominances to exercise control over them.
-
Inspections and Demonstrations: High protocol relationships often involve regular inspections, such as looking at or touching the submissive's clothing or body. Domininages may conduct searches or demonstrate how to properly use equipment.
-
Clothing and Accessories: It is common for dominances to require submissives to wear certain types of clothing or accessories, such as collars, Leashes, and wrist guards. These items help to reinforce the power dynamic and ensure submission.
-
Consent and Discussion: High protocol is generally understood as a consensual form of adult entertainment, and it is important that both partners openly discuss and agree to the terms of their relationship. This includes setting clear expectations of mutual obligations and how to handle disputes.
High protocol can be a challenging and intimate lifestyle, often requiring patience, understanding, and commitment from both parties. It's important to remember that it is a form of consent-based entertainment that should be enjoyed by adults who are knowledgeable and willing to engage in discussions about power and control.
