No, I don't direct bathing or grooming practices, including scents, of people who haven't entered my service--and when I have my introductory meeting with someone I've met online, I haven't accepted that person's service. Why don't I? There's the principle of not commanding people with whom you haven't negotiated an agreement of obedience, for starters. But there are practical reasons, too: different scents smell different on different people, and while I have scents I like, those scents might smell noxious on someone whose body chemistry didn't complement them. Additionally, the ways people choose to groom and scent themselves offer me clues about them--for this reason, I also don't direct manner of dress. I have asked people to tell me what they intend to wear, but that's for recognition, not evaluation and certainly not for obedience. But if someone has agreed to obey me, then yes, I'll direct scents and other grooming choices, at least for when the person is in my presence. Monica
