In a 24/7 Consensual Power Exchange (CPE), the power exchange extends far beyond scenes or sessions—it becomes an ongoing daily framework of control and obedience. This dynamic is built on a continuous agreement where one person adopts a leadership role while the other assumes a follower role across all aspects of life. While there is significant variety between these extremes, the 24/7 lifestyle applies the foundational CPE contract to a consistent, daily dynamic. This commitment is often carried out with deliberate, enthusiastic, and even joyfully playful energy. A typical daily routine for those in a 24/7 CPE framework may reflect diverse practices, emphasizing flexibility and individual adaptation rather than rigid conformity—always leaving space for unique, evolving expressions of the dynamic.
1. Morning – Wake-Up Rituals and Daily tasks/expectations assignment.
The s-type wakes up some time before the D-type to make breakfast or to perform other duties as agreed with the D-type. So the beginning of the day is marked with the rituals that nonetheless reinforce the dynamic – kneeling at the bed, for example, or greeting in a prescribed way.
Afterwards, the D-type gives the tasks for the day, for example, chores, work, bathing routine, personal care, etc, whatever they consider falls within the parameters of the arrangement.
2. Afternoon – Scheduled check-ins and s-type activities.
Check-ins are done via phone or text and should be scheduled beforehand based on general dynamic and individual schedules. These serve S-type to ensure that a s-type is on target with the tasks, needs a pep talk, has questions, or simply to provide the feedback on one’s current state and conditions.
Throughout the afternoon, the s-type carries out tasks, which could be general daily tasks such as those at work, or more personal tasks or duties as given by the D-type. This would also apply to any changes that the D-type has planned for them to work towards personal development or specific progress.
3. Evening – Reunion Ritual, Evening activities and Recap.
Once they are back in the same space, both parties could have an actual ritual they go through to re-establish the dynamic. For example, the s-type might bathe the D-type or be made available in a certain way.
Shared hobbies or watching a film might be on the menu, as is a scene that has seen negotiation and both enjoy. Activities might be determined by the D-type but with the s-type’s needs and limits kept in mind.
The day can end with a feedback session together where both parties reflect on the day, what they felt for or conflicted about, and any adjustments that need to be made to their dynamic.
4. Night – Rituals preceding bedtime and Sleep Protocol.
You might also have specific rituals preceding bedtime, such as the s-type helping the dominant off with his robes, foot bath, massage, bedwarming, cuddling, or other activities as has been agreed upon.
Sleep arrangements can also be part of the power exchange, where there are protocols about where the s-type sleeps (eg, in the same bed as the D-type; in a different room; at the foot of the bed; etc) according to their dynamic and personal needs.
It is also worth noting some key considerations that are worth thinking about. Routine is great, but you also need to be adaptable to serve life’s unpredictability, such as work issues, health problems or family emergencies.
Keep the dynamic healthy and maintain satisfaction by maintaining open communication, and ensuring that everyone involved is giving continual consent for activities. Routines and tasks are to be continually negotiated and consented to by those involved.
In addition to the primary 24/7 CPE duties and role of chaplains, personal growth and self-care measures are also critical to ensuring that the dynamic remains sustainable and rewarding.
As noted, however, these routines are private and specific to the needs, tastes, agreements and lifestyles of the individuals involved. What fits well for one dynamic or macrodynamic may be ill-suited for another, and can change over time.
