ORIGINAL: vampir2124 I am reasonably new to this lifestyle. But i was wondering, having approached several dommes, is it usual to be charged £50 a week to talk to them and £30 an hour on top of that to meet up and/or talk on the net. I would willingly sumit myself to a domme but financially i cannot afford rates like that, its surely just prostituion and not living the lifestyle?? maybe i have missed the point of the lifestyle, but if a domme treats me like she should i would either willingly or be told to give a tribute, out of respect i would obviously offer a domme presents in tribute, but should there be a standardised charge?? Any help would be appriciated. May I direct you to this thread: http://www.collarchat.com/m_337540/mpage_14/key_/tm.htm#350309 I cheerfully talk, as in socialize in a friendly way, with BDSM folks of all orientations. Don't care if you're dom or sub, male or female, gay or straight, this is my leather family and I am a part of this community. When I am approached in a sexual manner by a submissive who says he wants to "talk" but who actually just wants to use me as a sort of fancy prop to act out his kinky sex role, with no regard for me as a human being and no interest in friendship or community, I would direct him to a pro domme because that is where he needs to be. He isn't my friend, he isn't part of my leather family, and he isn't a member of my community, by his own choice. And no, I don't want to "talk" (translate: be nonconsensually used so he can act out his kinky fantasies) to this guy. If I was a pro, I would in fact charge for time spent in this manner. Since I'm not, I tell guys like this to go away and find a pro. I am not interested in this kind of shallow, selfish, one-way transaction. I am not interested in being used as a prop for some stranger's submissive fantasies. So please, say what you mean. If by "talk" you mean be friendly and real, great. Let's talk. Let's be friends if we have some non kinky things in common to enjoy intelligent conversation about. If by "talk" you mean something else, then yes, you do need to negotiate for a D/s session. Negotiation means that you state what you want and what you are willing to give, then you listen to what your partner wants and what she is willing to give. A pro transaction is pretty straightforward. What you want is to act our your slave role, and what you are willing to give is some money. It's automatic that you can find a partner who will accept that negotiation and say yes. A non pro transaction is a little more complex. What you want is to act our your slave role, but what are you willing to give that a domme might want from a submissive partner? Love, caring, frendship, romance, devotion, being available on weeknights and weekends, making your partner really happy, being emotionally available, etc? Find out what your prospective partner wants, and think very hard about whether you can give it. If you are interested in getting involved in your local BDSM community (assuming there is one), then you will be able to meet and talk to people socially for free (or maybe the cost of a burger if it's a Munch; a function in a restaurant means you buy your own meal). If you just want to "talk to a domme" in the sense of phone sex, or cyber sex, or any other form of dominant/submissive roleplaying, if you are not prepared to be sociable and friendly and nice to people of all orientations in the leather community, then you need to stick with pros or find a partner to negotiate a different kind of exchange with.
