What Are Rules in a Female Led Relationship
When it comes to a Female Led Relationship rules are a big part of the dynamic.
In essence, they’re conditions set by the female dominant for the submissive partner to follow.
These rules can cover a wide range of behaviors, from the way the submissive speaks and dresses to the tasks he’s required to perform.
The idea is to create a set of guidelines that the submissive must obey to ensure that he behaves appropriately and respectfully toward the dominant partner.
Breaking them is to disrespect the mistress and invite punishment.
Now, the rules themselves can vary greatly depending on the personal preferences of the dominant partner.
There’s no one-size-fits-all approach to FLRs, so the specific rules will depend on the desires and needs of the couple involved.
That being said, it’s always a good idea to write the rules down so that both partners are clear on what’s expected.
For a new Mistress, coming up with rules can be a bit of a challenge, especially if she doesn’t have much experience in FLRs.
It can be tough to know where to start or what kind of rules would be appropriate.
However, the key is to think about what’s important to you as the dominant partner and what behaviors you want to encourage or discourage in your submissive partner.
From there, you can start to develop a set of rules that work for your unique relationship.
Once you have a set of rules in mind, it’s important to communicate them clearly to your submissive partner.
Explain what you expect and what the consequences will be if the rules are not followed.
Keep in mind that the rules are meant to provide structure and stability in the relationship, so they should be designed with the ultimate goal of improving the relationship and making it more fulfilling for both partners.
Rules are a fundamental part of an FLR. They’re guidelines set by the dominant partner to ensure that the submissive partner behaves appropriately and respectfully.
They can be altered and modified to work towards an outcome.

Rule 1 – Address the Mistress Correctly
When addressing the Mistress, the submissive must always use the title ‘Mistress’ unless instructed otherwise.
This shows respect for her authority and the power dynamic of their relationship. The full name is to be used not nicknames or slang.
Other acceptable titles may be used, such as ‘Madam’, ‘Ma’am’, or ‘Goddess’, depending on the Mistress’s preference. If the Mistress allows it, her name may be used in public. Failure to address the Mistress properly may result in punishment.

Rule 2 – Never Overspeak the Mistress
When engaging in conversation, the submissive must be attentive and listen carefully to the Mistress. Interrupting or speaking over the Mistress, whether in public or private, is considered disrespectful and will not be tolerated.
Conversation is perfectly OK, but if mistress starts to speak, the submissive must switch to ‘listening mode’
The submissive must remember to whom he is speaking and never overstep their bounds. As a submissive, their role is to serve and obey the Mistress, and failure to adhere to this rule may result in punishment.

They must always be attentive to her needs and desires, anticipating her requests and acting accordingly.
Respectful behavior is essential in all interactions, and any action that shows disrespect, such as neglecting the Mistress’s wishes or ignoring her, will not be tolerated and may result in punishment.
The submissive should always remember that their purpose is to serve and please the Mistress, and showing respect is a vital aspect of their dynamic.
The submissive must comport himself appropriately when in public with the mistress and not denigrate her in any way, cause her to be embarrassed, or otherwise show disrespect. No putdowns that are ‘jokes’.

Rule 4 – Check the App Regularly for Mistress’s Orders
The submissive must make it a habit to check the messaging app used by the mistress and submissive. He must do this every morning when he wakes up, before he leaves work, and before he goes to bed. This is to ensure that he is regularly checking if the mistress requires anything from him.

Rule 6 – Use of Safe Words
The submissive is expected to use safewords during the dynamic.
Green means “ok,” orange means “nearing a limit,” and red means “a red line has been crossed.”
The safewords can also be graded, such as “dark orange.”
If the dominant partner does not hear a safeword, the submissive is expected to continue following orders.

Rule 7 – Public Behavior and Immediate Compliance
The submissive is expected to conduct himself in a manner befitting his position, reflecting the power dynamic of the relationship.
If he hears the phrase “Are you sure, honey?”, he must immediately desist from whatever he is doing and remain silent.
The phrase “whenever you please” in public means that the submissive is to carry out the order immediately without hesitation.
The submissive must always be mindful of his behavior in public and reflect his submissive position accordingly.

Rule 8 – Timeouts
The submissive is expected to follow orders at all times and not bring petty grievances.
If the submissive wishes to discuss something, he can request a timeout, and the Mistress will allot a specific time to address any issues at her convenience.
Relationship dynamics are not for the submissive to bring up arbitrarily.
