BDSM 

Do any of you know good alternatives to "slave"? I dislike the word because of its colonial context. But I imagine a middle-aged man with grey hair and a tuxedo when I think "servant". I'd prefer a word that works well for an obedient naked queer boy with cuffs.

@natanji master/pet can frequently replace master/slave. it carries a slightly different connotation because of petplay being a thing but it's close enough that you can get away with it even if you're doing more vanilla bdsm stuff.

BDSM 

@natanji Submissive, often shortened to Sub? Though I guess that doesn't have quite the connotations of ownership etc...

How about nouning obedient? My "Obedient" or "Obedient One"?

You could go for a less loaded term like "Houseboy" or "Minion".
