Asking Permission to Do Things

Today there was a discussion on Fetlife about what kinds of things slaves and subs must ask permission to do. While most D/s relationships have rules, the non-kinky domestic discipline groups like CDD or Taken in Hand tend to only have a few rules, and ones that are obviously helpful to the woman (to keep her safe, to make her a better person, to keep her healthy, etc.). On the other hand, in Master/slave and Dominant/sub relationships, some people prefer to have many rules for the sub.

What are some examples of things slaves and subs could be required to ask permission for?

1. Going to the bathroom.
2. Using furniture in the house (including beds, tables, and chairs).
3. Using the phone or internet.
4. Leaving the house.
5. Shopping or spending money.
6. Corresponding with new people on Fetlife or the internet.
7. Posting photos to Fetlife.
8. To talk to other Dom/mes or Masters/Mistresses.
9. To ask Doms and Masters permission to speak to their slaves or subs.
10. To begin eating.
11. To masturbate.
12. To orgasm.
13. To sexually pleasure the Dom or Master.
14. To leave the Master's presence.
15. To drink anything other than water.
16. To change a profile picture online.
17. To speak or ask a question.
18. To go out late with friends.
19. To open the mail.
20. To read or respond to messages online.
21. To smoke or drink.
22. To sleep in bed every night.
23. To post to online blogs or journals.
24. To visit friends or family.
25. To choose the clothing for the day.

Depending on how strict or laid back a Master wants to be, the rules can be very general ("You don't have to ask permission to do anything unless I am in the room with you") or very strict ("You can't use public or private toilets with the seat down"). It all depends on the couple!
