Mainstream Etiquette

The BDSM world is an extention of the larger world and the etiquette and protocols of the larger world still apply -- sometimes to a greater extent. A good dom still says "please" and "thank you" and apologizes when appropriate. A good sub will not push others out of their way when fetching a drink for their dom.

Netiquette

For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and He is the savior of the body.
Ephesians 5:23

Ephesians 6:25

Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives;
Even as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord; whose daughters ye are, as long as ye do well, and are not afraid with any amazement
1 Peter 3:1 and 6

Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife unto the husband. The wife hath not power (control) of her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband hath not power (control) of his own body, but the wife.
1 Corinthians 7:3 - 4
