ORIGINAL: brightspot MizSuz, I guess what I meant by "Pro" was Dommes who have clients who pay for the service of experiencing Female-Domination. I'm still not sure if it fits me anymore. I have submissives in my life who often improve my life in a monetary way. That doesn't necessarily mean that I play or scene with them. But then, it is possible to dominate someone without all the fetish trappings and protocols. quote:
ORIGINAL: brightspot I was curious of how some women come to the place of becoming a Pro-Domme, like if there is some history that brings them to that place or it is something that women who are naturally dominant can easily move into. I'd been playing and being dominant in my relationships for a long time so when I started I already had a good deal of lifestyle and life experience to draw from. I moved to a significantly more populated area and, after letting my presence be known, found that I was spending literally hours a day just trying to respond politely to people who were inquiring to serve. Most of them were quite happy to establish a professional relationship. I reached a point where I said to myself "why am I spending hours a day saying no and then going to a job I hate to eek out a living?" and decided to give sessioning for pay a try. It went VERY well and I stayed with it exclusively for a number of years. Eventually I reached a point where I was no longer happy needing the money these people were approaching me with. I didn't like the way needing the money effected the dynamic (and frankly, I turned most people down - not exactly a good business decision). In short, I got sick of sitting across a table from some butthead with an "I"m not going to get taken for a ride" chip on his shoulder who wanted to dictate the terms. It wasn't worth wading through the people with issues to find the gem and I wasn't willing to approach it as a service provider, so I was often in a catch 22. In fairness, though, the people that I clicked with became very dear to me and enriched my life in ways that far exceeded session fees.
