Part Two: Service and Serving – The Virtual World
In part one of this article, we discussed service as a non sexual way for submissives to serve Dominants. We looked at the various motivations behind service, and the direct details of how a submissive can serve in a non sexual manner. In the virtual world, these same concepts still exist but they can get a bit more complicated due to the limitations which we see in the virtual world.
Unlike the real world, obviously the ideas of walking the dogs, doing laundry, or house cleaning which might be very basic ways of serving don’t entirely exist, least without a bit of creative roleplay which might make them capable, but very uncommon. However there are vastly huge ways which a submissive can still be in service to a Dominant which would reflect the same beliefs and concepts of a service oriented submissive which we might see in the real world.
I have seen established houses in Second Life and other virtual environments which have some of the same fundamental foundations which we find in the real world. Is it possible to provide non sexual service to a dominant online? Of course there is, it just takes a bit of a creative mindset, but there are plenty of things which you can do, to assist your partner, as if you were there in the real world.
- Scripting (Second Life)
- Building Sims (Second Life)
- Providing Instructional or Educational means for other submissives
- Singing for a Dominant
- Reading a story, poetry, or other creative writing
- Roleplay, Roleplay, Roleplay!
These are just a hand full of ways which a submissive can serve in a domestic manner or as a service oriented submissive. The final one beign repeated twice, roleplay, is a way which a submissive can use a bit of emoting, some creative words, and actually act out things such as preparing a meal, providing a drink, massaging, these are all things which are possible in an online environment. Even things such as doing chores is very possible. I have seen some places which have things which become dirty over time, requiring to be dusted, and submissives out there with their duster in hand making sure they are kept clean. This gives them the virtual image of being a maid and keeping a house clean. A clever dominant could figure ways to build discipline, punishment and even reward into situations such as this.
“The Serve”
Over the years you see an intricate series of roleplay which involves serving food or drink. This seems to be one of the more common ways a submissive can be of service to a dominant. It spans from the “Gorean” lifestyle online, a roleplay lifestyle which was created based on a series of books by John Norman. In these books he describes this type of service, from privately owned slaves serving their masters, to tavern slaves serving a patron in the tavern. Over the years, this has been virtualized into a series of posts made by slaves online in service to a dominant type figure depicting movement, preparing the drink, and down to presenting the drink to that dominant.
Later on this has expended to doing chores, and other means of service online. This type of roleplay has slipped into other virtual realms of various different types of roleplay environments. Anything is possible with the written word, it just takes a bit of imagination, creativity and common sense. So get out there and give it a true, who knows, you might find the same fulfillments of doing these types of things for a dominant, as one would receive in the real world, and you might just be a service oriented submissive.
