I avoided this whole thread for a while now, but decided to join in because *drumroll* I learned something new! I kept seeing the term findomme and wondered if they were into mermaids, had a fish fetish, or some other weirdness. ROFL Now I know. I have personal experience with the whole "financial domination" thing. (Read my last journal rant, its in there.) I was in a 12 year relationship with a man who was my everything; Daddy, Master, Owner, Lover, Friend. As part of our agreement, I handed over the vast majority of my money to him. I never did just give him my bank account, but I did give him basically all my money. I didn't really care about it for a long time, until I realized that no matter how much I gave him it never was enough, so he'd take all that I had left, too. Then I would be dependent on him for everything. Gas, cigs, clothes, makeup... if I needed money for anything I had to ask him for it. I do think he found it empowering to have that kind of control over me, and in retrospect, I was naieve in thinking he was doing any of it for my benefit. I have been working hard in a decent career for 15 years and have nothing to show for it, not even a small savings account. Will I ever allow anyone to put me in that position again? HAYELL no. Did I get anything out of it? Yup. A hard lesson learned and a LOT of frustration during our time together. That is my experience and my opinion of the matter. Is financial domiination a valid form of D/s? Perhaps for some people it is, but it will never again be a negotiable part of any D/s relationship I have. As always, this is my opinion; your mileage may vary.
