Maybe y'all could help a girl understand the purpose of tasking. I've been into the lifestyle for 1 1/2 years and did 1 year of online research before jumping in. So far, I've noticed that tasking seems to be primarily an online thing. My real life dominants never called it tasking. They haven't ever given me assignments just to keep me busy. My "tasks" have included doing the dishes after they cooked, laundry, making phone calls, making coffee, making the bed, refilling their glass, etc. Basically, I help them around the house. It's called service. I guess I'm just wondering how online tasks (or even real life tasking for those that do it) serve the dominant in any meaningful way, besides providing masturbation material (pics). Am I being cynical? Probably. I'm here to learn, so enlighten me.
