Ritual
From BDSM Wiki
A ritual is a solemn ceremony that exists within a power exchange dynamic consisting of a series of actions performed (usually by the s-type) according to a prescribed order set by the d-type. Unlike a protocol, a ritual has a specific physical action associated with it as well as a triggering mechanism, where as a protocol can simply be a directive to govern behavior.

Rituals can cover any topic the D-type so desires, however typical rituals might involve things such as:
- Greetings
- Opening Doors
- Drink Service
- A Mantra
- Collaring or Leashing
and anything else of importance to a particular D-type.
