Don&#8217;t hand it to Me.\u00a0 Most of Us were taught not to touch the tribute.\u00a0 It&#8217;s a legal thing and I don&#8217;t know if it\u00a0 holds water or not, but I have always done it this way and it just feels better to Me.\u00a0 Somehow it&#8217;s less transactional and starts everything off right.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>I can&#8217;t speak for all Dommes but this is how I like to receive My tribute.\u00a0 If in doubt, ask.\u00a0 It is your first live interaction with a Mistress, so get it right and start things off positively.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to present your tribute: Have it ready &#8211; counting out your tribute in front of Me is uncouth.
