I'm still shaking my head in disbelief.

I approached a ProDomme who has a profile here that I found interesting enough to bite on.

She writes back a set of instructions. The bottom line: I have to verify my identity *before* she will provide her photos and a quote for her tribute requirement.

No, this is *not* a verification scam. RS2K is a legitimate verification service that I've already registered with years ago, and it wouldn't cost me another cent to verify.

However, the point is: why would any buyer be willing to disclose his full identity to any seller of goods or services before he even knows what it is he's actually buying, and at what cost?

I mean WTF???

Do people actually *agree* to terms like this, these days?


I love the title of the thread and then comparing it with the subject matter....

Yes, a world gone mad, a pro domme making what anyone else in the world would call an "unreasonable" demand and getting away with it? What has this world come to!

Like others have said, if her demands are that whacked I suppose you should attempt to find a domme that isn't so whacked.



Just the fact that you also perceive that her demands are "whacked" is good enough for me.

I'm happy again.

Okay people, has anyone else encountered similar demands, or made them?

I'm curious if this is becoming a new trend, or God forbid, the wave of the future.


I really don't see what the big deal is. She's a businesswoman and, as you haven't paid her yet or signed a contract, under no obligation to you to conduct her business as you want. No business is obligated to change their SoP to suit the customers. If they are losing money, then it's wise to do so but they aren't obligated.

Like with anything else, let your dollars do the talking and go elsewhere. Personally, I can see where she might be onto something. Pro dommes take a risk, both legally and physically. Her process is definately going to weed out those who are passingly interested and might help weed those who are looking for an easy mark.

When you say it's a verification service, does that mean they automatically give your info over to anyone who asks or do they do the screening and tell people you've passed their checks?

As to why? Dommes get a lot of time wasters, men who don't plan to actually pay for services but want to talk to them and get their jollies off that way, discussing their kinks for free. Beyond that, stalkers.


RS2K (RoomService2000) is a legit verification service, very big here in the Midwest. There is a one-time fee for lifetime membership. They verify once, and then pass along the verification to interested providers, with the permission of the member.

I understand that Dommes may have to deal with wankers. However, in my opinion, providing full identification to a stranger before I even know what she looks like or know her tribute requirements, is beyond absurd.

Define full identification. Is she going to get your home address, where you work and all your phone numbers or she just going to get your name, a picture and that you are who you say you are?

That's a good question.

It's been so long since I've used the service, that I may not recall all the specific details correctly. I do not recall submitting my photo, but I could be wrong. Off the top of my head, I want to say full name, work and home addresses, and phone numbers. But I don't want to misinform, so I've written to them directly for the answers.

Stay tuned...

Gotta love her tho. She tries so hard.

Domi...

Are you a domme in real life? Or are you a sub who really wants one?

I know it's one of the two because no one else would be that hateful all of the time regarding dommes.

Unless...there's one other answer...you had a husband/wife who ran off with one, and you've never been the same since.

Otherwise...really, why so hateful?

Whacked for a vanilla, a submissive, a male dominant, but not all that whacked for a pro domme...

In an instance of a relationship you will pay. The cost need not be monetary but the interest still shows and grows, yo.
