@Omisspearl thank you is so very common. We say it all day long to people we do not know. I choose to acknowledge my submissives service in a *special* way. For my alpha, that happens to be Good Girl. But I get what THEY prefer to be called in their praise kink, and then use that. Again, thank you is so very common, it's virtually an insult to my Girl.

Speaking of normal, it's really not normal to criticize how other Dommes practice their personal D/s relationships. So on that note, my side of this conversation is ending.

@OmisspearlIn speaking more on lifestyle subs, not professional subs. I'm also not being gender specific as to who the sub nor Dom is.

In the same vein you do not thank a sub for their service, you acknowledge their unconditional "gift" they provide.

If I paid some of my subs to film fun non profit making content with me they would be offended. I do not shoot content for money. I do it for fun, and those invited to participate are lucky for the chance.
