Openlyrefined is absolutely right, its the way something is said. When Master says 'good girl' to me, it makes me feel as if I could burst with happiness and pride that I have pleased him, when my husband does it (and that is rare nowadays because after 20 years of marriage he has FINALLY got it into his thick head that it is condescending and annoying) it just makes me want to bark and wag my imaginary tail LOL - Its the same with slut, Kaerose said that slut and cunt would upset her if they were used by her master, but mine calls me slut all the time and I love it. If he says Good Morning and doesnt put slut on the end I miss it!! It always makes me smile. So I guess its different strokes for different folks think how boring life would be if everyone was the same!!!
