Service is frequently a component of dominant/submissive and master/slave relationships. It is where the submissive or slave performs work for the benefit of the dominant or master, generally at the command of the latter.

As noted in the article on Penetration, BDSM activities are invariably two-way. That is, the engagement of the two participants leads to each feeling the other in one way or another.
In service, the person performing the service, or servant, feels the commands or expressed desires of their partner. That is, their partner tells them what to do, or what they'd like done, and this determines the actions which the servant performs. In the same way that sexual intercourse requires more than one thrust (except in the case of teenagers), and a good flogging session requires more than one stroke, service requires more than one command.
Indeed, it is frequently necessary for there to be a more-or-less regular flow of commands, direction, or influence from the dominant or master for the service to continue to be rewarding for the submissive or slave. As a thought experiment, imagine what it would be like if a master gave his slave an order and then never her saw her again. What it would it be like for her to continue to follow that order?
Just as the master or dominant penetrates his slave or submissive with his orders and directions, his partner penetrates him with their service, and how they perform it. It is infrequently the case that a master or dominant will engage his partner in impersonal service, i.e., with service which doesn't impact him. Mostly he will engage his partner in service which he directly feels and from which he directly benefits.
