Sir_Russel, if you keep the D/s out in the open ( like having the sub sitting at the Doms feet ), are the children going to be able to pick up on the respect? Are the going to see what you give back to the sub?
I can't speak for Sir Russell, but my opinion, in his case at least, is that anyone looking in on his dealings with his sub would not only pick up on the respect, but would be knocked down by the power of it. As it should be.
Just my opinion.
