I’ve reviewed protocol based books here before but this one is far more unique than those read previously. Protocols isn’t just a book about protocols, it’s a handbook written from one Dominant to his slave. These are the actual orders and behaviors he expects out of his slave. While it reads like a handbook you can glean lots of wonderful information about leather lifestyle and his higher protocol experience.
Protocols is written by Robert J Rubel. He has written several good resources for the BDSM library such as Master/slave relations, Protocols for the Leather Slave and several others
The first part of the book is an introduction into leather lifestyles, various forms of D/s relationships and how the lifestyle has developed to what it is for him. If you aren’t familiar with the Leather Lifestyle this book is an eye-opener.
In the second part of the book he details proper dress, attitude and behavior of his slave. He shares a centering ritual that I find to be quite beautiful in its simplicity. There are several chapters about protocol dinner parties and how to serve at the table. If you have been looking for something to reference in relation to this, I highly recommend this book.
While this book can be read by a novice submissive I feel that it can overwhelm the inexperienced rather quickly. Everything detailed here does not happen in every relationship. My Master and I have different protocol ideas but the ones in this book are a beautiful dance between the two involved.

My name is lunaKM and I’m a full-time submissive in a D/s relationship. I am webslut to 
I bought ” Protocols – Handbook for a female slave ” about 3 months ago , as part of my own education and self-development process. I find it very easy to read and understandable, terms are expanded on and the chapters are well developed and connected .
As one who is not active in my local community , I found it a great resource to learn about the different phases that those who are active can be in ; levels of Protocol , service attitudes, expectations and the history, etc.
An excellent book for both novice and I would say experienced to refer to.
