ORIGINAL: beeble What you should be getting out of the responses is that the Dommes would rather spend three hours doing housework themselves than spend four hours interacting with a a submissive in a really boring way (telling him how to do the housework, pointing out things he's missed) then another hour `punishing' him for doing that housework badly and then another two hours doing the bits of the housework that the sub missed. Indeed posts in this thread carry the message you summarize. However, the scenario suggested by OMW, or referenced by PFH and myself is different from the one you describe. quote:
ORIGINAL: ShaktiSama On the other hand, there is also a matter of providing ME with "extra buzz", and with a special feeling of being loved and served. And generally that feeling comes not from ORDERING him to serve me and being obeyed--it comes from having my needs anticipated correctly, because he has taken the time to learn my ways well enough. Or from an expressed desire to serve me in some way, because he can see that I am tired or distracted and stressed. I agree entirely. I think the two scenarios--a domme giving an order towards service and a submissive providing anticipatory service or service as an expression of regard--are not mutually exclusive. In my opinion, a relationship that has both has greater energy than one that has only one or the other. A sub may contribute by obeying orders (being responsive to an action initiated by the other) or anticipating needs (initiating). A domme may contribute by giving orders (initiating) or accepting service (being responsive to an action initiated by the other). I think the point that PFH is referencing, and one I often reference, is how a domme can initiate a contribution to the D/s dynamic in the medium of service. I think the core matter is that there should be an ongoing reciprocation of energy and each person should contribute to the dynamic. Your comments about your relationship suggest that this reciprocation occurs, for which I congratulate you. Cheers, Sea
