Within relationships, I find that expectations are virtually impossible to live up to, so I try to avoid "expecting" anything from another person, other than the big three - honesty, integrity and trust. Everything else changes constantly. The Kaptin and I have been seeking a house slave for some time and, because we are a straight couple, have had considerable difficulty in finding that slave. Sometimes I think it's because people can get an unrealistic idea of what being a slave in our household means *to us.* First and foremost, the individual must want to serve both of us. All too often, we find someone who says they want to serve both, but really they're looking for a one-on-one relationship with one or the other of us. That's not going to work for us. We see our house slave as someone who, while knowing their place within the heirarchy of the household, will also be a member of the family. One-on-one time with each of us would definitely take place (mostly with me, because the Kaptin is gone most of the time), but families do things together, and we'd be no exception. We see all of us vacationing, attending festivals, going to ren faires and amusement parks all together. The only thing we don't see the three of us doing on a regular basis is sleeping in the same bed. The house slave would, most nights, sleep in a separate room adjacent to ours. We realize this could raise jealousy issues, but the person who joins our household must understand and accept that, even though we do view them as family, the relationship between the Kaptin and myself is primary. I'm thinking our ideal third would be a bottom-leaning switch, because I've got just so many interesting dungeon ideas for the three of us.
