This is a document I put together a couple of years ago. The flowing are services worth learning in order to be an attractive service-oriented submissive or slave. The more you fill out your resume, the better your chances of finding an outstanding Master to serve. There’s books on all sorts of subjects at Amazon.com. (notes: Master is a gender neutral term; the references provided within are merely a beginning to your research.) Maid service. This is one of the most popular non-sexual services you can offer. Yeah, you might not like it, but, if you are service oriented, the feeling you get knowing you’ve pleased your Master makes it worth it! If you’re list oriented: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/1841725986/ref=pd_sim_b_5/002-5519869-5191241?%5Fencoding=UTF8&v=glance If you’re task oriented: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0811839850/ref=pd_sim_b_1/002-5519869-5191241?%5Fencoding=UTF8&v=glance (Oh, a hint: if you’re going to offer this as a service, practice on your own place first. A smart Master viewing on a web cam where the background is a disaster area will NOT believe your abilities in this service are up to par.) Laundry. If you think doing laundry means gathering up whatever clothes are on the floor and throwing them in the washer is doing laundry, you have some reading to do: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0811839842/qid=1100720825/sr=2-2/ref=pd_ka_b_2_2/002-5519869-5191241 Ironing. you'd be surprised how many can NOT do this well. However, there’s a very humorous book on the market: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0312069731/qid=1100720825/sr=2-1/ref=pd_ka_b_2_1/002-5519869-5191241 Cooking. At least learn your Master’s favorite dishes. Everyone CAN learn to cook...for men, treat it like a tech manual. The only thing is, you MUST read directions! you can find many, many recipes on the net. Be sure to find out about allergies, diets and things that bother your Master's insides (do they have IBS, for instance?). Beginning books: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0517221705/qid=1100721188/sr=1-2/ref=sr_1_2/002-5519869-5191241?v=glance&s=books and http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0028624513/qid=1100721188/sr=1-1/ref=sr_1_1/002-5519869-5191241?v=glance&s=books. Check out your local community college for cooking classes too. Pet service. Many of us have pets and enjoy them, but someone changing the kitty litter or birdcage occasionally would be great. Better if they do it without being told. Pet grooming can beneficial too. Here’s a book about dogs and cats: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0812042980/002-5519869-5191241?v=glance Secretary...taking notes about who said they'd do what, keeping a calendar for your Master and sorting snail mail. Also, doing the tiresome chores like thank you notes, invitations, Christmas cards and such that, in "polite society", should be hand written. Sometimes, sorting email can be an option. Personal Buyer. Go shopping for your Master. Get a list and money first! This can also include errands (picking up dry cleaning, mail, etc). Pizza served by you, on your knees, is SO much better than by the pizza deliverer at the door. Formal Ds/Ms Protocol. Learning to serve when your Master is in a formal setting or among other Masters. Things like offering drinks (hot and cold) and food unobtrusively, holding things (always watch for the coat/jacket coming off and NEVER let it hit the floor!), etc. A great deal of this will depend on you Master. A great deal can be learned from formal table service rules. http://www.cuisinenet.com/digest/custom/etiquette/serving.shtml More can be learned from BDSM formal protocol sites such as this one: http://www.evilmonk.org/A/manners.cfm Remember that none of this is set in stone. Butler. Ok, so this one doesn’t have a book (that I could find) on Amazon. Answering the door, answering the phone (to screen calls), welcoming/serving guests. This is also where the formal dinner stuff comes in. Head Waiter/Waitress...again, for more formal occasions, usually, but knowing how to serve food with grace and beauty will catch eyes these days. This site is a humorous looking into the head waiter, but with good tips thrown in. Take notes. http://www.schonwalder.org/Menu_Salad_Silverplatter_n_Rechauds.htm Also, this might be helpful for the cooking stuff: http://www.ehow.com/list_1030.html Lawn care/gardening...this service isn't for everyone. But, if you like to be outdoors, we like to have the lawn mowed and pretty flowers planted and cared for by someone else, preferably. Lawn care: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/1580624871/qid=1100722286/sr=1-5/ref=sr_1_5/002-5519869-5191241?v=glance&s=books Gardening: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/1413441114/qid=1100722354/sr=1-9/ref=sr_1_9/002-5519869-5191241?v=glance&s=books Again, you local community college probably offers classes in gardening. Massage. There’s several different kinds of massage, the most popular being clinical, deep tissue and sensual. A few resources: Clinical: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0683306537/qid=1100719200/sr=2-2/ref=pd_ka_b_2_2/002-5519869-5191241; Deep Tissue: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1556433875/qid=1100719200/sr=2-1/ref=pd_ka_b_2_1/002-5519869-5191241; Sensuous: http://www.amazon.com/gp/reader/0394759753/ref=sib_dp_pt/002-5519869-5191241#reader-link. Better yet, take a Massage Therapist course at your local community college and become licensed. Reflexology and other alternate therapies. Look into alternate therapies that are pleasing even if you don’t believe they work. For example, you or your Master might not believe in reflexology, but if you learn to do it, you’ll learn how to give on hell of a foot rub! This is a good skill to have! http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0762409614/qid=1100719611/sr=2-2/ref=pd_ka_b_2_2/002-5519869-5191241 Other therapies might include Aromatherapy http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0931432820/qid=1100719696/sr=2-1/ref=pd_ka_b_2_1/002-5519869-5191241 tea therapy http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/188726311X/qid=1100719719/sr=1-3/ref=sr_1_3/002-5519869-5191241?v=glance&s=books and chi energy therapy http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/1585420212/qid=1100719882/sr=1-2/ref=sr_1_2/002-5519869-5191241?v=glance&s=books You might consider herbs, vitamins and minerals, but this is a gray area since these things can interfere with prescription medications. Manicures and Pedicures. Most women and a lot of men like to have manicures. Even if they don’t, learning to do a good manicure will teach how to massage the hand. It can be especially handy if you can learn to do acrylic nails and such http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0789302373/qid=1100719966/sr=2-1/ref=pd_ka_b_2_1/002-5519869-5191241 and http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/1562538829/qid=1100720171/sr=1-3/ref=sr_1_3/002-5519869-5191241?v=glance&s=books To really be of service, take a Nail Tech Course at you local community college. All these things require STUDY, both of the skill and your Master. You need to know if S/He prefers iced tea with lemon, hot tea with cream, etc. You MUST be observant. The goal is to do all these things in such a flawless manner so as NOT to be noticed. In that, a good Master WILL notice and praise accordingly. Fire
