Is there a Dom equivalent to "good girl"?

[Sq****]

I have an honest question. Is there a phrase or saying for the D types that a sub can say that has the same effect on them as saying "good girl" has on a sub?

[re****]

Thank you sir/ma'am.

[Al****]

"Thank you, Sir/Ma'am"

[To****]

Yes sir

[Pa****]

I think it depends less on a fixed phrase and more on what hits the right nerve for the person in charge. Some D types melt when a sub says thank you in that soft, meant-for-them tone. Others respond to yes, Sir/Daddy/Master said with real intention. And some don’t need words at all, the look a sub gives them when they’re proud of who they’re kneeling for tends to do the job.

[AL****]

Thanks daddy

[Ma****]

You could say that it really depends on the Dom’s personality, but yes — many D-types do have phrases that hit them the same way “good girl” hits a sub.

For some Doms it’s things like:

“Yes, Sir.” / “Yes, Daddy.” said with genuine trust

“I’m yours.”

“Thank you, Sir.”

“You lead so well.”


The dynamic is different because D-types aren’t usually looking for praise in the same way, but they do respond to affirmation, respect, devotion, and trust.
So instead of a direct equivalent, it’s more about saying something that shows confidence in their leadership and your connection to them.

Every dynamic is unique though — the best phrase is the one that fits the two of you.

Interesting question. Not for me. While I appreciate hearing “Yes Daddy” or “Thank you Daddy”, it doesn’t give me the same mental or physiological turn on that my sub gets when I say “Good girl!” and she gets instantly wet.

[Ad****]

Yes sir

[Ja****]

Good toy, but my dynamic is two switches so it's hard to tell who's domming who somtimes 😵‍💫

[R0****]

"Good boy" works in certain instances

I think the equivalent is the act of trusting the dom. If the sub does not trust the dom it shows that we aren't good. More so than any words will ever do.

[ni****]

"here to serve you my Sir/Master"
"yours to use Sir"

[fl****]

“Thank you/yes Daddy” always works for me

[Ov****]

Daddy is what I'm called. It's just as big if a turn on as when subs get a Good girl.

[ma****]

Try" Your pretty when you know that you're in charge "

[Ge****]

Thank you “applicable honorific”

[Wh****]

I like "Yes Daddy"

[Sc****]

I’d imagine showing appreciation and gratitude to them by saying: Thank You Daddy/Mommy, Thank you Master/Maddam/Mistress, or Thank you sir/ma’am, paired up with “you’re the Best, is very pleasing to the Dom.

Here for the answers to this ..... a Sub mind needs to know..

[Sl****]

For me, "Thank you (title)" has always done that.

[Se****]

Just a little "thank you for doing what you do to me" in the right moment shows appreciation and is something I really enjoy hearing :)

[Ad****]

Yes Sir or yes daddy

[De****]

IMO there really isn’t any equivalent in feeling. Good boy/girl/etc illicits the feelings of knowing you were pleasing to your Dom type. The pleasure of giving obedience is really only something can a sub can feel. However, something like Thank you Daddy/Mistress/etc gives its own kind of pleasure (I would assume). The kind of pleasure of receiving obedience.

A heartfelt 'Thank you Sir/Mistress' goes a long way. Not the 'You will say "Thank You" after every stroke'-kind of imposed gratitude but one that is almost spontaneous.
