Service Oriented Collar
Service-oriented is a term commonly
used in the BDSM community to refer to a specific relationship dynamic. ln
a service-oriented relationship the focus is on how the submissive / slave
can contribute resources to the Dominant partner, provide for some of their
needs or advance their goals. These relationships may or may not
include romantic feelings.
A common example of such a relationship
would be one in which the submissive and Dominant were romantically
attracted and the submissive is collared to the Dominant, indicating that
they are "in service" to that Dominant. The collar may well be
predicated on certain performance levels or the usefulness of that
submissive / slave in specific areas. If those things were to change
or dissipate the couple may remain romantically linked but often the
collar will be removed.
For the submissive / slave in such a
relationship the collar is seen as a status symbol or a matter of personal
pride signifying the approval and acknowledgement of a person they wish to
serve. They often take great pleasure and pride in their status and
relationship.
For the Dominant the benefits are practical
as well as emotional. Many take great pleasure in being "served" in
this manner of of course having the additional resources available is of
immense utility.
