ORIGINAL: quietlilone "that is what a submissive is,, a pleasure slut,, a maid can be had anywhere I've never hired a maid as such, but as a result of my profession I've hired a number of assistants who cover maid-like duties as part of their job. And I'll tell you, even when there's serious money on the table, health benefits, maybe even occasional expenses-paid travel to desirable locations, it must be damn hard to find a good maid. By good I mean one that is self-motivated to do good work. One that can spot what needs to be done before I have to write a memo about it. One that is accepting of or flexible enough to deal with unexpected circumstances. One that is able to take instruction and guidance - in short, one that is trainable. One that actually gives a rat's ass whether your shirt gets burned or not. It is all far, far better with a submissive oriented at least partially toward service. They draw a dividend from the work that goes beyond a paycheck, and it makes a big difference, not just to the quality of the work, but also to the quality of life. You definitely aren't the only sub who thinks the way you describe. As to what is most common amongst doms, I've no idea. My ideal is on the side of the spectrum reflected by Jubal Harshaw's "front," so I'm not representative. But doms who value a sub who devotes at least part of their energies to service are not what I would call rare. (For those who find my reference is on the tip of their tongue but isn't coming, think Stranger in a Strange Land.)
