ORIGINAL: GoddessDustyGold I have had many boys claiming to be experienced slaves, or craving a slavehood lifestyle with Me, but it is not to include their income other than paying their share of the expenses. As I have stated before, that makes a boy My roomate with benefits, not My slave. To what extent financial control is a part of the relationship is up to each individual couple. Most of the boys are willing to do anything, usually in exchange for proposed playtime, but draw the line at their bank account. I find Myself immediately questioned about "the money", these days, even before I have an opportunity to determine how much flexibility might be warranted in an individual situation. Why even discuss this until it is appropriate?. I get this in the first two emails. And we haven't even met yet. Just another instance of how "any Domina will do, just as long as She plays by my rules and comfort level." Makes Me tired. It's precisely why I am not actively seeking at this time. It almost seems like you are ignoring the fact that people have to live in the real world, and not a fantasy world. Someone else already said it, but I wouldn't trust most people I run into on the internet to be able to balance a checkbook let alone my finances. Once you put someone on your bank account, or worse deposit money into their account, there really is very little they can't do with that money. There is also the very real problem of "ok... well what happens if the relationship goes sour after months/years of someone possibly leeching off my bank account". Judging from your posting, it almost seems like you feel that calling yourself dominant, possibly even being involved in doing dominant things with submissive folks, means that they should be immediately willing to add you to their bank account(s) because they were willing to trust you enough to have a relationship with you. That is almost as the people contacting some random submissive, saying that they would be perfect for them and that they should move across the country to move in with them, and then admitting they didn't bother to read that submissive's profile when he says "your profile says you are straight, are only interested in 'hwp women age x-y', and a few other things along those lines... um... you know I'm a guy right?' Not at all. When I am seeking, I am seeking a slave for a full time, 24/7 live-in relationship. A TPE, (Total Power Exchange) includes eveything. Total does mean ALL. If one gets to that point, then the finances have to be worked out. Therefore, I am not asking to be added to a bank account. I am determining if you should even have a bank account in the first place. Is that too Dominant for you? I have discoursed on this subject at length in various other threads over the last 2 years or so. I have built in protections and savings, retirement, etc. for a boy. Some will leave better off then when they arrived. Other resources will, most likely, remain untouched. The idea, of course, is that the boy does not leave. This is supposed to be a permanent arrangement. At least that is what I seek. Why is this an issue that never comes up between Males Doms and their female slaves? By all means, protect yourself (and your masculinity) from the evil Dommes. After all, they are not true Dominants if they include any Domination factor over your money. They are just after your wallet. I agree that there are many people (not just Ladies) who can't be trusted to balance a checkbook or be fiscally responsible. I have met an awful lot of boys who are barely scraping by and I wouldn't trust them with My income, either. It is called getting to know someone, with the awareness that if you seek a TPE, the finances are part of that. It amazes Me that this continues to be such a sore point, that it has to be rehashed on these boards every single month. Boys, boys, boys...you say: "I will worship you, and adore you and live for you. I offer you my body for everything from CBT to forced strap-on. I will allow you to tie me up, beat me, or suspend me from the rafters. I am here for your pleasure. Because that is what counts. My pleasures do not matter. I will cook for you, clean for you, lick your shoes, wash your panties and drink your golden nectar. I will obey you in all things. But if you ever try to touch my money, god help you." Doesn't make much sense to Me. I am tired of the automatic assumptions that a Lady cannot be trusted with the money reigns or that She just wants to rip everyone off. And I am tired of this debate. P.S. I never contact a random submissive. They contact Me.
