newlychaste -> RE: Submissives and slaves that pay tribute (2/7/2008 7:41:00 AM)

I had started a thread on a similar topic, called "Financial Domination: Solved," and I think that it's close enough to be valid over here. There's an "interest search" function on Collarme. Why not just change the terms of service to, "financial domination encouraged--just list it as an interest," and include a NOT function on the interest search? If I could narrow my snooping to only people that weren't interested in dominating my wallet--which I make it a point to keep empty, in case anyone asks--I might actually be able to browse profiles that might interest me. :) And it will make it easy for "money piglets" to find their wallet rapists a little easier. The concept of financial domination repulses me on a basic level. As a first-time homeowner interested in a serious relationship, it bothers me to have to hide several profiles, just to skim through what seems to me to be a new borderline sort of begging. The distinctions among financial domination fetishism, demands of tribute, and professional domination are important. Unlike professional domination--where money is exchanged for the time of someone with the expertise and tools to render a valuable service--dominants demanding "tribute" for their time (or that their slaves be "generous"), I think I'd call "unprofessional domination." I appreciate CuriousLord's comments in regard to supply and demand, but disagree with the comment that "A lot of male slaves have a supply of money and a demand for sex/BDSM. A lot of women have a supply of sex/BDSM and a demand for money. Seems like a fair match." I suppose what bothers me the most about the whole thing is this: if a man or a woman simply wants sex, he or she can hire an escort. If a man or a woman wants a BDSM session, he or she can go to a professional. Is financial domination a service rendered--like cooking--or is it just veiled panhandling? I feel like there's something even deeper that I can't quite get at, here. I'm just plain too tired to hash it out any further. --- "The dude abides."
