After I wrote this post I remembered a girl I knew several years ago. She was one who claimed to have no wants or needs....her entire existence was for the sole purpose of his pleasure. They were married and quite well off. She did not work outside the home. Every year she got a brand new car, she was a creative cook and there was no short supply of top quality food on their table, their home was gorgeous. The first time I saw their bedroom I can remember thinking that I'd never seen so many pillows and I thought that if that were my bed I might just never get out of it. She had excellent health insurance. At least two nights a week they went out for a nice dinner....and she went out with the girls at least one night a week. Her clothing was always "this year's". She went to the spa once a week to have her hair and nails done. Her husband/Master loved her dearly and was very openly affectionate. He showered her in gifts and flowers frequently. Most of her days were spent in the garden or doing crafts, watching tv or playing on the computer. Yet with all of that provided for her she still insisted that her sole purpose and interest in life was him.

But of course we can't all be so blessed. So I wonder, if you were in a relationship were your most basic needs were not being met....food, shelter...a place to lay your head....what, other than a serious lack of self esteem....would keep a person there?

From what I gather, a large part of the satisfaction from service acts comes from the approval and/or happiness of the person they are doing it for.  Like, just doing the dishes is lame.  Doing the dishes because it makes their top happy and more relaxed is an entirely different thing.  It's all where your head's at, I guess.

beth does NOT , go out with the 'girls', go to the spa once a week and only gets her hair and nails done for 'special occasions' - like Folsom, or Saturday night! 

I keep her naked which is always "this year" and in 'style'! However I did just get her some matching purple cuffs last time we were in Vegas.

SO THERE!  

There is a high 'price' she has to pay - she has to live with me!

As always Merc, someone as amazing as  you is the exception that proves the rule.  However, she only chose you because you were the only one who didn't just shove it in, you made her beg for it right?

I choose to stay away from that slave state for my own well-being because I know it isn't something many people handle well. 
Now that I am older I can embrace my needs and desires for pleasure and satisfaction. 
I don't know if it is maturity, or cynicism which makes me want to puke when I see people sceraming at the top of their lungs (type-i-cally speaking) "serving MASTERS needs are all I require" For me that type of declaration is veering on the crap of which you speak.  Not because I think its bull, but because for me that is like doing handstands on a bike.  It is there so you can show off, or be "sublier than thou"
I doubt I ever called my first guy by any other name than his own.  And as we were together physically there was no need to cap his name in proclamation.  I do think it is possible to think of your own needs as unimportant.  But it seems to me if they are unimportant there is less need to crow about it, it just happens.
I enjoy the way beth posts because there is a peace to what she says.  I avoid those other posts where people are still screaming about their MASTER, because that will alway make me cringe.

Yeah, kinda like how I've had to do with you about coming to visit this weekend! You tease!

See you in June!

BTW - at the Munch last night the talk was of having a 'Roman Orgy' - (WHOOPS!) I mean 'Roman Toga' night at my place in June. I'll let you know when the date is confirmed and try to push for it to be during your trip. That should be fun!
