Acts of Service- why they are so important and enthralling

Acts of Service

why both are important and enthralling 

I enjoy acts of service which are deliberate and meaningful, that suit my exact needs and which are done with utmost care. 

I recently returned from an overnight with a client who was both very attentive and conscientious. He wanted to please me and he was well prepared to do so. Once we arrived at the hotel, he brought out scented candles (he had checked with me in advance as to my favourite scents), grape seed oil, lavender aromatherapy oil, tea lights to create ambience and poured me a glass of champagne to enjoy whilst I was being massaged.

He knew from reading my website that I studied massage and enjoyed receiving them. He understood that for me to enjoy this act of service, he was not going to be giving me a therapeutic massage (I love sports and remedial styles and go at least once a month to the massage therapist I have been seeing for over 7 years, if you would like to contribute to my massage fund, vouchers can be purchased for me here). The intention was relaxation, connection and devotion. Time was taken, my responses were listened to, I knew I could be massaged for as long as I desired, or as long as his hands could manage. 

He was massaging me as an act of service, for me. He wanted to give me pleasure, relaxation and delight and I felt appreciated, cared for and listened to. He was able to hear my needs, wants or corrections, and this act was about him showing his devotion to me, my body and my needs.

When someone is able to approach an act of service with humility and with your needs being paramount, a special connection is made, ego is dropped away, and instead moments of discovery are created. When I can fully relax, knowing that the person in the act of service, is able to listen, change and devote their attention to my needs, there is a symbiosis, which allows both the receiver and the giver to breathe deeper, to feel more, to better connect.

That this was our first meeting, his ability to be in service was refined, making it truly a gift of service.

That act of service set the tone for the rest of our evening, it was the starting point from where we could both become more authentically ourselves, ask for our needs, be heard and understand one another.

I was able to read, that although he had a great experience within BDSM, his skin hunger was paramount, that kink was a template that he knew, what he needed at that moment was a softness, a gentleness which he had not anticipated. Without that act of service, perhaps we would not have been able to as clearly ask for what we wanted or needed, perhaps I would not have been able to read him, perhaps he would not have been able to ask for what he needed, rather than what he had originally asked for.

I relished in the time I spent with him and I would relish in more acts of service and devotion. Other acts of service which I am partial to: body scrubbing/washing; shaving (from those who are trained as barbers or hair dressers); massage; beauty treatments (again from those who are trained) and cleaning/organising. For many of the services which I have listed, some training is needed, and again, this is something that a devotee can invest in, which again is a gift for both of us, yet another act of service.

I look forward to exploring your devotion
