I've known him online for almost 15 years, on various forums and under various screen names, and he's a damned good guy. Maybe he's just picky. I don't get why the fact that he's single has to become the subject of someone else's thread. Just ain't right.

The comment that cloudboy made about littlesarbonn is insulting and if it is not insulting it is at least very unkind. Read it again LadyAngelika. Why does he and Simply Michael feel the need to write about him?

Sarbon has writtend extensively in nearly 2,000 posts over five years of his experience. Him and I have written about each other's experience in our shared real world bdsm communities on this board. And if you think anything in this thread is insulting...you haven't been here long!

I'm going to agree with this comment 100% Panda. I think that there are some exceptional men on this earth who crave to serve an great woman. That said, not every woman that slaps the Domme label on herself is a great woman. Now taking the "greatness" factor out of it, there is also the issue of compatibility. I've met some amazing submissive men who I'm not very compatible with. This happens as well. But bottom line, I refuse to put all the blame and the brunt on the men in this instance. I have no idea how any of this can be productive. - LA

quote: ORIGINAL: specialk2611 Is it assumed that a service-submissive requires nothing tangible in return for their service and that their joy is just to enhance the life of their Dominant? EG, If they asked for a service contract with rewards and punishments written in, does that mean they become something else? I think it's a reasonable label to use, but that clarifying exactly what your needs and desires are is a good idea. I would strongly suggest that you not use the "No Strings Attached Housework" terminology, since it gets bogged down in semantic debates all the time. You might want to consider initially offering to assist someone who is volunteering for a local event (BDSM or otherwise) or otherwise find a way to be helpful in a neutral environment. A lot of women are reluctant to allow a stranger into their home. Of course, you might be able to do research or dictation or some such via the Internet rather than in person, though it may not be as fulfilling. Are the rewards you need kink-based, or praise, or some sort of special treat that isn't BDSM oriented, such as a fancy dinner or an outing to a place you enjoy? Personally, when I was looking, I had a lot of guys contact me seeking something similar, but most were very rude and pushy about it. One guy even told me that I don't belong on this site, and to go to Match.com, because I told him that no, I didn't want a naked stranger cooking dinner in my home as a birthday present. [:'(] You don't come across as rude in the slightest, in your profile or the posts I've seen so far. You might want to be extra-cautious in how you present it though, simply because that is so common.

I've met some amazing submissive men who I'm not very compatible with. This happens as well. Thank you! But you know, I'm not even sure it's necessary to separate the "greatness factor" and the issue of compatibility, because both qualities are subjective and interdependent. To a large degree, what makes some women the greatest thing in the world for any given man is simply the fact that they're compatible. I've met a lot of women I wouldn't date if they were the last woman on Earth, because there was just nothing about them that interested me in the least. But for other men, these same women were the center of the universe. At the same time, some of the women I've loved the most passionately and the most intensely in my life have been women most other men didn't even look twice at - women other men thought were strange, odd, flakey, whatever. But I absolutely adored them. The thing is, everyone is different, and just as we all have different things to offer in a relationship, we all have different things we need. You need to figure out who you are and what it is that works for you, and don't get involved with people who you know just aren't what you're looking for. When you're fortunate enough to find someone who's perfect for you - in whatever unique way you define perfection - and who finds you perfect for them, then you've both found perfection, no matter what it may look like to other people.

Andalusite - Thank you for taking the time to make such a considered response, with research too! I'm going to copy and paste your message for future reference to read over should I need a pointer or two. I don't really think about whether there are lots of my type. If they are, I would back myself to be the best out of them in someone's eyes one day.

BeMyProperty -> RE: Service submissive question. (2/20/2010 4:54:01 PM)
Sure I think there are guys who truly want to provide service and leave with "nothing" in return. IMO what many of them like is the fact that you are giving "nothing". One of them explained to me that if I actually said thanks, he can't enjoy it nearly as much, compared to if I simply shut the door in his face when he was done. (Some of them want to be nude while cleaning, IMO the woman is being giving to allow that.) I would like no-strings service, but like other Dommes, I find it tricky to weed out all the guys who say they want it, but really don't. So, the many bad apples ruin it. Most Dommes decide it's impossible or almost impossible (i.e. not worth seeking). I haven't given up all hope, but I need to spend my time seeking live-in anyway. Also, this was touched upon a bit, and I agree: some no-strings guys don't want to have conversation and get acquainted. Since they want the woman to be more of a stranger to them, or they are just not good at this. And some of them may be married and they figure it's not cheating if there is no nudity or sex :(

I see nothing shameful in the post that you refered to in your response to me with. I see a bunch of people writing that they will miss him. Not sure you'd get a 9 page goodbye? Is that why you are so bitter? - LA Edited to add on a side note, I am curious to which LA he refers to as I wasn't active on collarme during those days.

My point was straightforward, that he writes good posts. The reference to crappydom was just a bit of message board history.

lally2 -> RE: Service submissive question. (2/22/2010 7:08:25 AM)
for a time i struggled with the fact that my giving into a service orientated relationship was not pure giving without return, that the pleasure of giving was in fact not in the least bit ultruistic (that really used to bug me) - but the pleasure you get from giving is a reward and a return and in many ways the Dominant is facilitating that leaning in you. to be asked 'what do you want' was another thing that bugged me. in my mind it had nothing at all to do with what i wanted - but of course it is. i want to serve and give and all the rest of it. but take it a step further: all that giving and service and care that you wish to give wants to be poured into someone who will provide a safe, secure and beneficial environment for you. in other words, youre not going to enjoy giving all of youreself to someone who just takes and never ever gives affection, warmth, consideration or security. think of it as a symbiosis of needs. you need to give youre brand of giving and the Dominant needs to give their brand of giving and together you give into a relationship that satisfies both of you.

cloudboy -> RE: Service submissive question. (2/22/2010 8:23:42 AM)
Imbalanced relationships are a ticking time bomb. A friend of mine had a roomate who was a female "slave." She did everything for her DOM (cook and cleanup / work and keep house -- etc.) He was also "poly" and saw other "girls" with some regularity. As a part of their relationship, they framed her "slave rules" and put them up on wall. One evening after an argument, she took the rules off the wall and hurled them across room -- shattering the frame and glass. They became more egalitarian after that.

Smutmonger -> RE: Service submissive question. (2/22/2010 8:26:25 AM)
There is a big payoff emotionally for serious service subs. Usually in conjunction with the feedback from either simple accomplishment-or feeling they are deepening thier value and connection to one they admire and care for. We all serve in our own ways-those who do not are merely vampires of the soul.

servantforuse -> RE: Service submissive question. (2/22/2010 10:17:51 AM)
I am a ' service sub ' and regularly do menial house cleaning . I am sometimes rewarded but it is never up to me and is not expected.

cloudboy -> RE: Service submissive question. (2/22/2010 11:02:56 AM)
You would have made VeronicaofML proud.
