I'd rather DIY than deal with a houseboy.

Are houseboys the new foot fetish? I am bombarded with offers from men who seek to enter my home, take their clothes off and clean naked. Remember what your mom told you? That men just don't see dirt like women do. No one likes to clean, but for the sake of simplicity - and safety I'll DIY before allowing a freaky stranger to get his greasy mitts on my fine crystal.

Years ago with the roommates in Brooklyn we decided to let one of my footslaves "serve" domestically. It was one of those bored craigslists experiments we do when we are young, and the freak just made more of a mess. I left him alone to do the kitchen floor and he made a muddy mess of it and wasn't even green about it, he used a whole roll of paper towels in the process and didn't get all the detergent up, it was sticky. Did he get reprimanded? No, he was just sent home. He had the audacity to ask me for a reference and got his email account blocked, sexy - eh?

In my ideal domestic situation, my sub will do the cleaning. He'll bring me my morning coffee in bed, that would be after some time - this is not my idea of a first date, this is my idea of a primary partner.

There is nothing sexy about identity theft, invasion of personal space or stalking, but these are the risks involved - and the gain a service that is garners low pay. It's simply more risk than benefit, it's also just a cheap date.

In all my time interacting with Dommes, I have never met one who actually has a houseboy. Some pro dungeons allow this, but there is generally a fee involved. For the most part, it is an urban myth.
