Servitude (17)

It's very much an integral of being subservient to a Lady for me and has never been purely dedicated to the BDSM elements of D/s. By this, I mean servitude is also relevant to the more mundane aspects of daily life which apply to all of us. Servitude is never one dimensional therefore as any lifestyle Mistress can easily integrate both servitude in the vanilla context and servitude within the greater context of Her regime as and when relevant and required.

Neither does servitude have to be overt. The more innocuous aspects such as opening doors in vanilla environments--to name but one example--are equally relevant. By the same token, servitude does not have to be obsequitous either. Basic manners suffice as does social etiquette.

I have never felt emasculated when serving a Lady, quite the reverse in fact. I do so because it's as much an element of my submissive nature as being the recipient of the activities associated with D/s. I also equate servitude with my convictions regarding Female Domination and, more pertinently, the natural authority and personality of the Mistress concerned.

I understand however, that not everybody shares these views and that some Mistresses prefer their submissive / slaves to be far more servile in their nature overall. Each to their own of course.

It's also a complete turn on! Spending a day immersed in that delicious state of arousal is infectious. Spending an afternoon on my knees, scrubbing the kitchen floor, polishing shoes and ironing while my superior relaxes with a dvd and a nice bottle of wine - having me at her beck and call - is the most incredibly sexy thing.

....for me anyway....

Er... To get to the other side?

No, wait.. that's not it...

"He's not a male sub, he's madkat."

Glad you said "serve" rather than "submit to", since most male submissives aren't particularly servile, but there are probably as many different motives for submission as there are people doing it.

It puzzled me for a long time why I have such a compulsion to be servile to women, and there's still only a couple of things I've come up with.

Firstly I think of my own subservience as far more an extreme, possibly twisted, form of old-fashioned chivalry than anything else. This came up recently, when I volunteered to travel half way across the country and spend a weekend basically just doing a lot of hard graft (cleaning & decorating etc.), mostly unsupervised, for a domme I'd never met before, with no promise of "play" or any other strings attached. And the only explanation I could think of for why was that it was a kind of "knightly" noble gesture - setting off on the white charger (well, alright - sticking some diesel in the white van, then!) and rescuing the "damsel in distress" from the dire threat of physical work that her other subs had ignobly left her to.

In a similar vein, submission in a genuinely servile context places the mistress more on a pedestal than I feel purely play-based submission can. It is something that can elevate a mistress to a position where maybe adoration of her fills that space in my life that others occupy with religion, patriotism or other similarly abstract focus for devotion.

Well, that's my take on the subject - but there are probably thousands who think otherwise, this is a pretty broad topic.

I AM THE GOD OF HELL-FIRE!.....but its my lunch break right now

Dare I add that she may have a nice friend!
