I guess it says something about me that I think this is The Best Idea Ever.

[constance]

I’m a slob, my boyfriend is a slob. We’re both in grad school, both work, very busy. So our apartment was a disaster. It was embarrassing to have anyone over. So I went on Craigslist and found us a maid. How can we afford it? Glad you asked: Our maid pays us. He’s this nice, middle-aged, submissive man, not much to look at, but he comes to our house once a week and scrubs the bathrooms, does the dishes and laundry, and anything else that needs doing. And he pays us $100 each week for the privilege. Every once in a while I give him a spanking. Hate housework? Get a slave!

Ahahahahahaa, it is kind of a relief to know that I'm not alone. ♥

The only drawback I can see is that I don't think Emerson would want someone like that underfoot, even if I agreed to do all the spanking myself. Drat.

The spouse has a friend who tried that once. "I'm not a dom; I just wanted a white man to clean my house," she said. She does not recommend it; she says she got all tied up in his life, and he still occasionally calls her for advice and sympathy.

It is too bad, isn't it? Maybe you can work on Emerson, a little, try and convince him that spankings are merely currency. I mean, one afternoon a week!

Oh, I can totally believe that; hell, you could conceivably get involved in the life of any person cleaning your house on a weekly basis, so with the added intimacy of a dom/sub relationship, involvement seems almost inevitable.

I don't suppose I'd mind that too much, although of course it depends on the sub-for-hire's personality as well. But I know perfectly well I'd make the world's worst domme.
