Moderators....is there a rule against "stealth pros" on Collarme?

If not, there definitely needs to be.

Wait... so you mean to tell me.. just because a Domme has Her picture done proffesionally... that means She's a Pro-Domme?
Sorry.. but that logic is faulty.

Normally I don't chime into discussions about "pay" or "tribute".  I have decided to put in My two cents worth because I do ask for a small tribute for training sub and slaves.  Keyword here... I ask for tribute, I don't demand it or request it.  It is a sub/slave's choice on whether he wants to train with Me.  The reason that I ask for tribute is not due to the fact that I don't have a job outside My home.. I do have a career, which I love and has nothing to do with BDSM (and it pays well).  However, My career, submissive husband, lover, pets, friends and family keep Me fairly busy... I ask for tribute because I have several things going on in My life and I don't want to waste My time on a male that just wants to see Me for a training session in order to get his rocks off.  If that is what a male wants he can either go see a prostitute or use his hand.... I have no time for this kind of behavior. 

Tribute for Me represents how serious a sub/slave is.  I only ask for tribute in the beginning of working with a male too... after I have seen him multiple times, I stop asking for tribute altogether.  If I find a male is truly serious about training with Me and sticks with Me for some time, tribute is not an issue.  However, I do ask for it in the beginning.  I have found from experience that by not asking for a small tribute in the beginning I end up wasting My time on game players and wannabes.  I just don't have the time or patience for that.

I am not a Pro-Domme, nor am I a prostitute (I have a submissive husband and a lover if I crave anything sexual).  The tribute I ask for is paltry... for 1 to 2 hours it is 50 euros. 

In no way do I advocate a male going to see a Domme that is "pay" or non-pay"... it is the choice of the male on who he wants to work with.  The males I work with have no issues with what I ask for.  If they did, they would not choose to train with Me

.

I completely respect and appreciate the fact that you ask for tribute.  You have the right to expect to be compensated for your time and energy, and you have the right to filter your subbies based on whether or not they are willing to contribute materially to your lifestyle and prove that they are serious by offering tribute.

You are certainly not a prostitute, but you are a pro domme.  There is no shame in being a pro domme.  It is a shame to deny that you are one when you do, in fact, ask for money in exchange for slave training. 

Being a pro domme, even part time, is cool.  And it's lots of fun.  There is nothing at all wrong with it.  It's a title that you can wear with pride.  Nothing says that a pro domme can't also play privately and have personal slaves as well as clients.  Sometimes clients end up becoming personal slaves.  It's all good.  The only thing that isn't good is denying what you are doing.

I disagree that what LadyMedhbh put forward as her reasons for requiring a small tribute in the early stages of training a personal slave is professional domination or the actions of a professional fem dom.   A pro dom first and foremost is a business woman, she keeps regular hours and has set fees and a skilled domina is largely able to accommodate most potential client's scripts, wants and fetishes that they can't or don't wish to get met elsewhere.  The client can't find it at the dairy, they can't find it at a brothel and generally they can't find it in a personal relationship.  Visiting a professional dom for a professional session is an entirely different dynamic to what LadyMedhbh proposes and therefore she is not a pro dom and shouldn't have to define herself as one.
