Such things are born of patience as you know. There are few enough submissives who want to provide service, and of those, you need to weed out the ones who do service as a way of getting time/attention/intimacy rather than for the service's sake. Otherwise, there will be self-destructing over time in a TPE relationship. Service for it's own sake in a TPE relationship is a hard road to tread, but those who want to and can follow it are worth there weight in gold.

And yes, I do the car-washing in this household LOL But it's very meditative to spend the time making my Owner's vehicle, which she loves so much, looking as beautiful as possible.

Sexual slavery? It can be a valuable service yes, but in the scheme of things it's not often the focus of an M/s relationship as it is often not something all Owners want from a slave (which I find more common than the other way around, particularly in lesbian M/s relationships). What I find is that the Owner's worth serving have done a lot of personal work and while sex is something they enjoy, they have discovered many other rich and deep ways to connect with and utilize their property to the fullest. After all, owning someone is hard work and if all you get out of it is the occasional orgasm, that ROI isn't very significant.

Thanks, Kelly. I currently have an ad on collar me.com All the responses I get are guys wanting to be sex slaves, or if they do want to be service slaves, they want to move here from some other part of the country and have me support them. I made it clear in my ad that I was not interested in that. So far, I have had NO responses from anyone who matches what I am looking for. (Actually, most of the responses were from guys who want to cheat on their wives sexually.)

Sometimes, I think service submissives are close to mythical. Certainly, real service oriented submissives are rare.

And massage takes time to learn. You hands will ache for a long time before you build up enough strength and stamina required to give a decent massage. There's also a "knack" of being able to let the person's body tell you what it needs. And a good working knowledge of anatomy is VERY helpful. It helps you understand the connections between shoulder and neck, for instance, or hips and back. Hands on is really the best way to learn, but a good academic backup is important too. And most of all, tune in to the person you are working on and allow the energy to guide you.

Interesting point. It reminds me of how banks will only loan you money when you don't really need it.

Steve,

Perhaps 10 years ago i would have disagreed with you, because at that time i was willing to serve "simply for the sake of serving someone." Over time there has been a change and, perhaps, in that change is the reason why the number of people who fit into that category is rather small and why i now agree with you on that point.

You and i talked about quality, not quantity last night and in many ways this is the heart of the matter. There are those that would use this girl to organize their lives but they have little concern for training her or guiding her towards the perfection of her slave nature. To be certain, there is some enjoyment that she receives from that use, whether it is the endorphins or the joy of making order from chaos. However, once the closet or room or kitchen is organized, they have no further use for this girl and abandon her because they are not Masters but just someone with a need for a free organizing service. After putting my all into serving them and after one too many of these types of abandonment, the types of service that i am willing to perform "for the sake of serving" has decreased.

As you so intuitively guessed from my profile, in the long term i am seeking someone who i can both love and respect to be my Master. Yet, with that said, this girl offers the respectful clarification that in the short term Trainers with an eye for detail, a desire to guide and mold this girl to perfection, and the integrity to not abandon her after the service has been performed are also welcomed...although the types of service would be less extensive than for someone who was considering taking her on as a slave, just as a matter of self preservation. (Sorry, basement insulation fixing and weed whacking would not be some of those tasks *grins*)

Also, organizationally challenged Masters or Trainers need not fear that they would not be welcomed either...one can have an eye for detail and yet not have the time/interest to carry out the vision. It is this girl's view that one can have their life fairly well together and yet still need organizational assistance around the house...the profession of Personal Assistant seems to speak to this point. Indeed, the reasoning is that meeting the needs of a Master (who knows what must be done but does not have the time or interest in handling the details necessary to complete the task) is what a slave is for...it gives her a higher purpose...which is a big part of the reason why my profile talks about being owned by someone who will let me support His work and goals as a 24/7 TPE slave instead of a wage slave in service to my own needs.

Hmmmm, but until that time comes perhaps i should get out of my legal research work and find some nice little Personal Assistant gig.
