ORIGINAL: Wulfchyld Hmmm.... are we talking Dom/mes or lazy people who happen to "own" you? This, I think is an important point, it made me think of a particular dominant friend of mine. In general I am a very non domestic oriented submisive. I love to make toys, I'm big on all kinds of service but I take very little enjoyment out of house cleaning. It'd be more my style to hire someone to come in and do that. BUT, and this is a big exception, it depends. I have one dominant friend who is very hard working, humble, and sees no task as beneath him. That means a lot to me. When I offer to help him out, I know that he isn't just assigning me the crappy tasks that he thinks are beneath him. He doesn't do that, there is nothing I can think of that he has ever had me do that I don't have complete faith he would have done himself. He is a busy person and I love helping him out. He makes it easy. Because of this, I am more than willing to help out extra. Dishes in the sink at the end of an event, I can wisk that out of the way to help him and his girl's. A load of laundry that no one has managed to fold, I got it, simple. There is never a sense of yourself being put upon, or handed the sticky smelly end of the stick, there is a sense of pitching in, being part of a team. I love that. It is so much easier to work side by side with someone who assigns you tasks based on what they need help with, not just what they are too lazy to do. I have actually snuck around to try and do more stuff when visiting this person, just to help out more, and because I really adore the folks in that household. I physically cringe internally when I hear dominants say, "My house is a disaster, I need a submissive to take care of that for me." It implies that they consider the work to be beneath them and that they are too lazy to maintain their own spaces in a way that is acceptable to them. That is not exactly what I would consider something that would entice me to want to serve someone. It is totally differant to want to help someone you care for, to take part of the load to lighten theirs and make more mutual time available, or even just to be nice to them, compared to being expected to do the crap jobs because someone considers you right to do a task that is personally beneath them. One would make me feel happy, helpful and good, the other would build resentment. Same tasks, differant attitudes by the person the tasks are preformed for. You could be assured that most folks would do a far better and more thourough job in the first situation. Just my thoughts Master Jack's, Willow
