Work as Service

It would be nice if we could escape the mundane concerns of the world and simply live in KinkWorld 24/7/365, enjoying each other's company and living in a full-time D/s relationship without having to deal with anything as dull as a job. But unfortunately, even for the kinky, bills need to be paid. So I have a job.

But as Lady Ru'etha has made clear, that too is part of my service to Her. Having a job is self-care and care for the family, part of my responsibilities to Her and to myself. When I pay the bills, that is a part of my service to Her (both in the sense of earning the money and in the sense of managing the finances.) It's not "financial slavery" in the sense that you'll sometimes see it used in a D/s context; that generally refers to the Dom/me taking money from the sub for frivolous purposes. The erotic charge (whatever there is--I'll confess I really don't "get" this kink) comes from knowing that the top is putting his/her selfish wants ahead of the time the bottom has spent earning that money.

This, though, is more about caring for my Lady and myself as expressed through making sure that the household functions. She is genuinely appreciative of my service, and has hypnotically conditioned me to remember that when I kiss Her goodbye and head off to work, I am serving her just as much as when I give Her a backrub or a foot massage. It really helps for those times when I'd much rather curl up with Her than go to work (which is every day, honestly) and reminds me that I am being a good boy even when I am away from Her.

Until that day when I'm a best-selling author who also won the lottery and inherited billions from Bill Gates. Then it's KinkWorld 24/7/365.
