I do not think there is a fine, clear and cut way to define financial domination... and not all Dommes into Financial Domination are into it, to make a "buck". I would agree there are some "so-called" Dommes out there who aren't really Dominants at all, and are really just around to make money, but then, they really aren't Dominants at all, are they and shouldn't fall under the heading of Domme. 

I never really knew or understood Financial Domination until one day when a submissive male approached me himself and asked me if he could become my sub and told me he had a money fetish. Like in every aspect of the BDSM Lifestyle.. Financial Domination has the very mild form clear to the very extreme form to the fetish. It could be something as simple as requiring the sub to pay for things for you like new clothes, eating out etc... or clear to something as extreme as controlling their bank accounts, credit cards, bills and total finances. It's not a fetish for everyone and really takes a lot of trust and communication between sub/Mistress before this should become a part of their interests... and better left for those actually living together... in my thoughts.

Do not confuse Pro Domination with Financial Domination. Pro Domination is where the subs says, I want you to spank me like this, I want to worship you like that, and here is $100 a hour for doing so. (Just as an example) If you think about it... this is really the sub paying to top the Domme from the bottom since they are saying what will happen and how. To me.. it's just kinky fun for money and has little to do with a BDSM Lifestyle.

Financial Domination can be exciting for both sub and Domme, as long as there are clear boundaries and expectations, and limits with it... and as long as people don't assume that just because one is interested in it, doesn't make them unreal or fake.. just as one not being interested does not make them fake either... It's one of those fetish's, where it's just best to say if you aren't interested in it, it's a limit and move on to someone who you do share interestes with.
