AAkasha -> Service subs: get a JOB why don't you!? (8/20/2008 6:51:49 PM)
Sorry for the sarcastic title :0 For those subs who are very into service -- love to clean, love to massage, etc. -- why not get a full time job in this area? I am surprised there are not more submissive men, for example, that are bonafide massage therapists working at nice salons. Or are there? What about being a housekeeper? Having a small list of clients - and really doing a fine job, enjoying how pleased the ladies are? What about being a shoe salesmen at a very classy shoe store if you are a foot fetishist? Why don't we hear more about this? Is it because random service, even if you DO come across attractive ladies at least some percent of the time, is just not fulfilling? Akasha

Although I have little to add on the rest of the post, since I don't have much love for service unrelated to dominant's rewards, I wanted to add this. Most shoe store managers are on the look-out for fetishists. They lurk around shoe stores and get kicked out of them, I wouldn't be surprised if they would be fired if the boss caught them fondling or drooling over feet. Also...how many people out of every 100 are attractive? I imagine that the ratio must be similar with feet...for every one nice pair you fit, there are a dozen disgusting ones that you have to deal with.

Service jobs don't pay well.

So foot fetishists are PICKY? Dang, who knew? [8\|] Still, fetishes aside, I DO wonder why service oriented people are not doing service-industry jobs. I suspect it's part of the cough do-me 'tude that we run into so often.

Maybe because those type jobs don't pay very well--and he might get fired if he's caught waking arund with an erection?

Funny thing here, can not speak for the male subs, but being very service oriented myself, i have taken a side job as a housecleaner.. I love it. Especially dressed in sexy clothing, It does fill a few of my kinks, sheesh! and to think i even get paid, what a concept! ahhh free enterprise!

I loved the janitorial job I had part time for a while. It was great hearing people tell me what a great job I did. But alas, it comes no where near what I make in my chosen profession, economics dictates at times.

1) Service jobs don't pay much, as has been mentioned already. 2) The personal touch matters. Often people don't care if you'd knocked yourself out doing a spectacular job. Your Dom probably does. 3) Service jobs don't require much in the brains department. If you have a college degree, people wonder why the hell you can't do better.

While I'm not male I am a service slave..to Master. I have no desire for it with anyone else. I want to please him..I'm not really concerned about pleasing the rest of the world...just him...plus as everyone else has said..the pay sucks bigtime.

While I won't disagree that there are "do-me" subs out there, I suspect it might be a little more complicated than that... I don't label myself a "service sub", yet I love taking care of Firm. Every morning I bring him coffee, make him a healthy breakfast, make sure he takes his vitamins, select and iron his clothes for the day, and prepare his lunch... all before sending him off to work. During the day, I keep his home clean, keep his clothes washed, organize anything that needs to be organized, run errands, manage all the bank accounts, and struggle to learn his business so that I can help him there. By the time he comes home in the evening, I usually have dinner started and after eating, I'm typically still puttering around the house with cleaning and other tasks. I'm not perfect in what I do and there always seems to be more than I can manage, but it's a joy to me to be able to be of service to him. If I couldn't be useful to him, I would be very unfulfilled, indeed. As much as I love this, would I want to do it for someone else... even for a good wage? Heck, no. My service orientation stems from my emotional involvement with Firm. Because of how much I care for him emotionally, I want to manifest that care physically. That doesn't translate into the working world. I can't say for sure, but I suspect that a lot of "service subs" also have this caveat. Like submissives who aren't submissive to everyone, I would guess there are service subs who don't service just anyone.

Because doing it for a job takes the shine and fun off of it. I worked as a cook for a while. I realized that once I'd cooked for 8-10 hours of the day going home to cook a meal for my family was not as enjoyable as it was when I was cooking just for my family. I loved the job, but I loved cooking for my family more when I wasn't working as a cook. Also, many people would think that being a doctor or nurse would be a service job (if they truly understood what they did) and they make good money at it, at least in this area! Service jobs aren't always poorly paid.

Akasha Two reasons: 1) I'm service oriented towards my owner. I view service as a way to be of pragmatic value and I see it just as part and parcel of being useful in general. 2) I have a masters degree. All those jobs you listed would be a waste of my time, professional skills, and result in a serious loss of income. C~

LuckyAlbatross -> RE: Service subs: get a JOB why don't you!? (8/20/2008 7:40:57 PM)
I'm similar to Fleurs except that I choose (so far) to sacrifice higher education (beyond my existing BA) because I like where I am now and my job is excellent suited to my services as they apply in the larger working world. I REALLY prefer living my life rather than working for money. If I had chosen or been told to get some other degree or accolade, it certainly would seem a waste to not apply THOSE skills appropriately (although that brings up the complicated issue of people who choose to leave their great jobs after school and promotions to raise children).

BitaTruble -> RE: Service subs: get a JOB why don't you!? (8/20/2008 7:42:36 PM)
~FR~ Service for a paycheck can certainly feed my belly. Service without power to feed my soul though? Pass.

It's backbreaking hard work that I wouldn't do just to be doing it. My enjoyment of being a service sub is that I do it for my Sir. Cleaning a stranger's funky dirty clothes or scrubbing miscellaneous grossness of a stranger's floor wouldn't do a thing for me. As for massage, I don't really like giving them, period, much less to an ~ack~ stranger. I have weirdnesses about touching / being touched by people I don't know but would happily give one to my Dom if he asked for it. Having a fulltime service-oriented job is kind of sex - you can do it with just about anyone but you might not get much out of it except a few crummy bucks. Heh.

youngstownsubm -> RE: Service subs: get a JOB why don't you!? (8/20/2008 7:54:01 PM)
What a silly question. I'm not in the service industry for the same reason that not every person who likes sex is in the prostitution industry.

gypsygrl -> RE: Service subs: get a JOB why don't you!? (8/20/2008 9:06:09 PM)
I've worked as a paid housecleaner. I loved it. The ladies weren't pleased at all. They tended to expect miracles and had no clue how to keep their houses clean so didn't have any idea about reasonable expectations. The guys were pretty much the same. Its not the sort of job you do to ehance your self-esteem. I really enjoyed doing rental cleanouts because they were usually a mess and I prefer to clean stuff thats actually dirty. Rentals were always dirty. I did better when I worked for a cleaning service than I did when I was trying to get clients on my own. I don't have much business sense and am not good at marketing myself. When I worked for the cleaning service they used to make me crew leader for difficult clients. I was kind of like the company heavy, if you can imagine (lol) that but I was very protective of my crew and wouldn't let the clients treat them bad. (They were mostly recent immigrants) I worked at a dunkin donuts for a long time when I was in college. I got a kick out of getting people coffee. That was when they still had counter service so it was like low end waitressing. I was good at it because I was really fast. Teaching is very service oriented and thats what I've been doing lately. I've also had a paid position doing support for families of children with disabilities. That pretty much involved being nice to people and assisting them getting services. I have a crappy work history when it comes to regular work and my references are all acedemic. Its really hard to get a minimum wage service type job with my education. Everybody wants to know why? And, I don't have a good answer for that. "Cause I want" to doesn't really do the trick. They worried that I'll be bored, or will want more money and stuff like that. Basically, I'm over qualified.
