Lifestyle vs Fantasy...How many play which the most?!?

[Pearlgem]

I only get to be with my Master a very few times in the year. They're for intensive play - we have to use our precious time appropriately. But I can never think of him as not 'my Master' even when we're having the most vanilla of conversations on line or on the phone. My conversations won't be littered with 'Sir's or 'Master's then, but as Amber pointed out, there is always that undercurrent of behaviour and respect that I naturally adhere to because of who he is to me and who I am to him. He can notch it up any time he likes and I'll respond. So my days are not filled with his physical presence but I always feel like I belong to him.
If we were together 24/7 we'd be able to play more, of course, but a lot of our life would go on the same way, I'd bet. You get on with vanilla concerns mostly but there is always a certain decorum expected of me and I would be there to complement his D/s desires at his whim.
