Well, at least it's a different perspective on an age old concern. First of all, I do not consider the "tribute" thing to be anything close to "financial domination. Anyone can ask for monetary tribute and it has nothing to do with domination, financial or otherwise, at all. Neither do I consider Pro Domination to be any form of financial domination, unless the pro session specifically focuses on that aspect. But how much can one financially dominate on an hourly basis? *Smile* Domination, in any capacity, has to do with control. When I have a 24/7 live-in M/s relationship, financial domination is a part of that. I consider it to be an important part of the submission. Money is power and freedom. If the "slave" maintains control over any portion of his money, he has maintained a certain sense of freedom. Freedom to make personal financial decisions as to what to buy, when to buy it, how to spend, etc. If I were to take only a portion of money as "rent" or "his fair share" of expenses, then to Me, that takes away from the depth of the purpose of the relationship. All that affords Me is a "roomate with benefits". Therefore, all things are discussed and taken care of by contract. I keep assets aside in his name for security, and I add to those assets durining the time of the relationship. Often, a boy will leave in better financial shape than when he arrived. So financial domination, in the right hands, can be a very good thing. Getting back to the control issue: ahem...There are some who desperately want to be dominated (i.e., controlled) but from a distance. One of the ways to do that is to maintain absolute control over the income and assets of that submissive/slave. Therefore, a Mistress can, if the boy is willing, dominate from afar via the wallet. He would have to think each day, "I cannot go to lunch since I have a strict budget and I am accountable to my Mistress for every dime I spend. This creates the mindset of serving, by disciplining oneself out of respect and obedience to his Domina. Cooking dinner instead of take-out and then doing those dishes. Washing his clothes instead of using a laundry service. Doing without the new car, the new big screen tv, the fancy weeknd away, that he would really like, but doesn't really need. This scenario does not work if the boy is only playing a game and does without when he feels like it, but knows there is no real consequence other than dismissal, if he disobeys. The Mistress may also determine how much of the income comes directly to her for her personal use every week/month, etc. Then there are those who just like to flaunt their money, and write about being financially dominated, but will never follow through. And there are others who do want a Mistress, on their terms, of course, and they offer the money as a way to capture the Domina. They still want to own the assets, but play the game of saying that they are providing for her comfort when they are really in charge of the relationship, because they maintain the basic power. I refer to this as "The other side of money". And finally, there are some, who just like to suddenly, and with no explanation or even a previous conversation, send money to an email address. I have had this happen. I did not solicit it, but there it is! I always accept those unexpected gifts, but, honestly, I never say thank you. Just one Domina's take on that "sticky money thing".
