Question
My boyfriend and I are interested in the M/s lifestyle and have been for awhile. Its been 2 years but when the idea was first brought up I was a bit nervous.
He now would like me to call him Master, but I'm having a hard time understanding when its appropriate to say that. Also I'm having issues with just saying the word Master, but I don't know why.

Answer
Many people have trouble with the word Master as they find it awkward for one reason or another.

Thank with him about how you feel as well when he would like to be called Master. Maybe it would better to start with the word Sir?

Most of the time to use the word Master or Sir, when you answer a question, in place of where you would use his name, or you wish to ask him a question.

I have gotten in the habit and just use Sir and Ma'am with everyone as it is just good manners.

Thanks for the question I hope that I have helped in some way and sorry for my delay things have been a little busy here. I wish you well and you know where to find me if you still have problems or questions.
