ORIGINAL: veronicaofML Some suggestions on the "care and feeding" of an SOS might be of interest as well. == care and feeding of what/whom? please explain. i have NO idea what you are talkin 'bout here. Phoenix Sorry to have been so obscure, Veronica. Bad habit of mine, along with wordiness. What I meant by 'care and feeding' was the proper treatment of service-only submissives to ensure that they get what they are looking for out of it, and not get what they aren't. I know there will be some variables as all are unique individuals, but perhaps some guidelines? Once you've determined they are in fact not 'do me boys', of course. Of the two I've had under consideration, one is definitely that, the other one I don't think so, but it's still to early in the game to be sure. Is it best to treat them with the same type of distance that you would find in an employer/employee situation, where the boss gives instructions on the specific duties to be performed, supervise as needed, and provides negative and/or positive verbal feedback on the quality of the work done? And although a service only submissive seeks only the reward of doing the work itself, would better tools for doing their job (a turbo-charged riding vacuum cleaner that also chops, grates, juliennes and grills, or something along those lines) be a suitable reward for good service? I'm just guessing here, I've spent too much time doing the do me's, and I'd rather not screw things up such time as I collar someone who wishes to serve in the way I wish to be served. I appreciate your posts on the subject of service. Phoenix I believe veronica's 'care and feeding' is largely based on an almost martyr-like need to continually shout on the rooftops that he is the exception to the rule and has no needs or desires for affection, sex, romance or S&M. His desire/need to be unique, special is so great that he has to constantly put himself on a pedestal as a self-less sub. In reality, he's getting a lot in return. He gets room & board (while he may hand over his check, it's not much money), use of the computer, and "something to do" rather than log onto a public library terminal day after day and complain about how all femdoms are out for money. I think someone else pointed out that we "get it" when it comes to veronica's deal. We have heard it a hundred times. We've heard the "IyamwhatIyam" rant and "I am one of a kind" and "**I** have no needs" on average of 3 - -5 times a day . We get it. We heard you. Would he be enjoying it if he were not able to log on here and constantly seek attention for it? Doubtful. Akasha Akasha
