Nikkicd10, When I read a profile of someone who demands money, I just skip the profile and move on. Clearly, the author of such a profile is looking for something entirley differnt than I am. In terms of helping or hurting the BDSM lifestyle, I think these types of ads do neither. The ads exist and you can choose to reply to them or ignore them. At the outset of my BDSM travels, yes, I did find the seeming plethora of pay-to-contact ads rather frustrating. However, at this stage in my life and BDSM experiances, I recognize that there are many differing relationships within the kink community. And sure, there are opportunists in all walks of life (both vanilla and BDSM). The only reason an ad has impact on you is if you let it. Thus, if an ad is not something you're looking for, my advice is that you ignore it and move on. It's a simple solution and what the heck... perhaps there are people who enjoy this kind of dynamic - more power to them if they do. ElanSubdued.
