This is more along the lines of "share your experience":

As a long-term full time houseboy, I get a lot of questions about my service. So many times, I am asked by Dominant individuals what it takes to own a houseboy. I jokingly reply, "A dirty house". In reality, it takes so much more- a commitment to an individual who is providing you service. I wrote the following piece a year ago, and just got around to putting it online. I hope you enjoy it, and are able to hear the voice of a happy, well fed, houseboy.
___________________
A lot of people ask me what I get out of being a houseboy.

Normally, this comes after me explaining that I come to my Sirs' house, greet one or both of them, clean for 4-6 hours, then have my work checked (and fix any errors that come up), and then get praise (if they feel like it) then go home. There is no fucking, sucking or playing involved. Do I enjoy those things? Sure. They are physically exciting to me, but I am quickly bored by the "suck my dick, boy" routine. There is no deeper connection there- no intimacy.

When I perform service related tasks, I fall into this sub space. It is so deep that I want nothing more than to do whatever my dominant asks of me. The independent, self-assured, cocky young man I am day to day fades away, and is left with a boy who desperately needs the affection of his Sirs. This is so powerful to me. Every day, I wake up and do what I need to do to support myself. I am a survivor by nature- I am strong willed, passionate, and driven to succeed at all costs. But Jesus help me, I need a break once in a while. I need someone(s) strong, and caring (and it also helps when they're hot) to pull me aside and say, "you're going to do what I/we say for a while, boy."

Every time I enter into service with someone like my Ma'am or my Sirs, they are allowing me to place my burdens at their front door, and take a break in their world for a few hours. Their world (that may be flawed in its own right) is a different world than the one I am forced to conform to 24/7. It's not about escaping. It is about rejuvenating.

It is about mentorship. Those who have me in their service give me the invaluable gifts of their time and energy. They show me how and what it is to be a kinky, poly lover. They show me how to navigate the local scene. They show me their love, and joy, agitation, and fear. They let me share myself with them. They have an open door.

And through this all, they show me the man I want to become. It is about becoming a man of integrity. A man who will show up. A man who will do what he says he will do. A man capable of showing affection, and then, one capable of showing love. A man who is a leader, not only at work, but in his home and in his community. This is what those who I serve are to me- the kind of man I want to become.

All of this is why I serve. My service fills the deepest parts of me that I let so few see- the boy becoming a man in a world that sometimes seems just a little too big to handle. And on that day, when I am grown, I hope that I will still find myself at the feet of those who have helped me the most- those who I serve.

Thank you, undertable,  for this beautiful  post.   i also am  someone  who identifies  with providing  service in much  the same ways as  you do.   i  felt  so much emotion just reading this.   i will save it and read  it from  time to time - to remind myself  that   others  do understand,  and  also to remind myself  of what  it is  that matters  to me.

Well come on Down!  I'm not normally interested in females, but I would happily make an exception for such an exceptional woman.  *sigh*  Yeah, I've been crush'n on you for ages, Faery.

i can't get that sort of pleasure [if any] out of such activities just in themselves; it only comes from the reaction of someone i have interest in after it's done with.  non household stuff though is always enjoyable to me, painting nails, grooming hair, massages, things of that nature, something that relates to her, not to her house.  doing things like that are not really in the nature of 'what they make me do' as much as 'what they let me do', but just doing service work like cleaning falls under one of my relationship clauses of 'i can't do enough if i'm nothing more than a convenience'. 

i can only be satisfied solely by doing petty things [no offense] when i feel the relationship itself is petty in connection, and is just something i am doing as a simple gesture to them.  i'm far from a houseboy, i can't sustain any semblance of a 'substantial' relationship off of it alone, i need interactivity and a bond between us in mine.  that's my experience to share.

This was a lovely piece. I've heard from others and had my own experience of the great difficulty in findings a houseboy/girl/person who is so motivated.

My brief venture with one ended when he became jealous of someone I was training. He never said anything to me until he said he wasn't coming back. I constantly assessed his work, gave him feedback, considered his suggestions, and even offered physical play as a thank you but he always turned that down. Then he tossed the "you aren't paying enough attention to me" thing back into my face. That experience made me stop looking for a good household assistant as I like to think of it.

Like I've said before; I get no enjoyment from doing chore, no matter who it is.  I'm a lazy bastard at heart, I'd rather relax and veg out on the couch with my computer, my xbox, my cable and a good scotch than do dishes or vaccuum.  I won't complain about any tasks Ma'am puts to me, and i do my duties with good grace; but the only satisfaction i get out of it is that it makes Ma'ams day that much easier.  Praise from Her is nice but not necessary, though i doubt that i'd continue without the occasional 'thank you' which She has always  been generous with.

I've known and been close to more service oriented submissives and i admire them their mindset, the ability to do a task and get direct enjoyment or release from it; that's not me but sometimes i wish it were.  My greatest satisfaction and release is from simply being around Ma'am, whatever we're doing or if i'm getting attention from Her.

It was definitely a beautiful written description.

Great job of articulating this.  I have always felt this way about service, but never was able to put it into words the way you have.  Thanks!

I've got the house! If there is someone wanting to clean it, I would be moooooooorrrrrrrreeee than happy to have them spend some time there.

And a garage, and a barn.............oh, and this office.
