Service as a portion of submission is generally only as valuable as the service being performed. Many of the people I've been with over the years have tended to be more slovenly than I. I'd just rather do a lot of things for myself. This also goes for 'personal' service. One of the things that I have (thankfully) found recently is that when the spirit is correct (the servant LIKES to serve) and pays proper attention to what they're doing, it's really a true joy. I've attempted to have sub/slaves dry me coming out of the shower, and usually they fail miserably, so I just handle it. My partner not only relishes the opportunity, but does an admirable job. The other night (in chat) I commented that I have a dentist appointment next week, and that I'm not always the best at preparation. (I brush daily, but that's about it. Then again, I've had inordinately few problems in the past.) Simultaneously, as I was typing out 'Is flossing something you think you can do for me once we're together', she was typing out how she would like to take that on as one of her responsibilities. Service has to be thought of in the same terms for both people for things to work well. Jeff
