If there are people out there that want to give someone else their money for a sexual thrill, then that negates anyone's premise that it doesn't exist as a fetish. This fetish exists, the hordes of duck lipped bird flipping locusts out there are there for a reason. What others think, of it being prostitution, of it not being part of 'real' BDSM, of it being opportunism, etc....well that doesn't really matter does it? Because it's out there being offered to those who want it, because it's wanted. If you don't want it then walk on by, just like not paying attention to commercials that don't pertain to you. The fricking things must work, commercials, but no one seems to like them. And yet as much as we complain about them they exist for a reason and we do actually learn to tune them out most of the time.

quote: ORIGINAL: JeffBC quote: ORIGINAL: jj292 With a findomme, you give the woman money with no sex in return (and usually nothing else either). OK, I'm restricting this answer to the non-relationship side of findommery which is what you're talking about. The kind that's more like a phone sex operator. That seems to be where your commented is targeted as opposed to people in some form of active relationship where money is a part of the equation. So I guess my question is, who pays money for nothing? With no repeat customers, how does one make a business of this? If we're going to look at the hardcore mercenary findommes who the heck does one make any money selling nothing? You might ponder bottled water as a reference point. The act of compliance to the demand for money is a form of submission. For some it is more powerful than the make believe game of submission that sometimes passes for D/s. What can be more valuable to surrender than your hard earned cash? There are some femdoms who define nonfindom relationships as a core of service and advertise for "service oriented subs." What do these service subs/slaves get in return if they are totally focused on the needs and wants of their owner? Only a "do me" sub would make his own interests the focus of the relationship. How authentic is that submission?[8\|] Who says the finsub is getting nothing and why presume there are no ongoing relationships? A bit of research into the topic might help with the misunderstandings expressed in this thread.

It is so weird to find judgmental posters on these perv boards. [:'(]

Fin-Dommes don't give penetration in return, but they sure as hell sell sex as much does playboy, a phone sex operator, a cam girl, or porn movie sell sex. quote: ORIGINAL: jj292 I dont really consider it part of BDSM to be honest with you. I dont see spoiling women as a fetish. We had a guy on here a while ago who was asking if there were any other people who, as a kink, also enjoyed putting bags of chips up their ass/somebody else's ass. Apparently, if you would managed to be openminded for just a second, you'd be surprised and shocked by the sheer and awestricken diversity of what the human mind is capable of sexualizing...

TNDommeK -> RE: Financial Domination? (4/14/2013 12:05:44 PM)
I have to disagree. As a matter of fact, I make it known, in plain English...sex will never happen. Hell, I'm married. Hubby would kill me, lol. But seriously, speaking only for myself, I never sell sex. Lizi, I laughed when I saw your definition..locusts. That was awesome! It seems they do come in swarms.

This is where the conversations about fin Dommes usually deteriorate, over what individuals see as a viable kink or fetish. Heck, if you take the financial component out of it, "spoiling a woman" is precisely my fetish: having a man do (or suffering lol) precisely what I want, when I want it, for as long as I want it. If that's not what he plans to get from a relationship with me, we're not a match. [:D] The fact that finances isn't the way I want to be spoiled, or that for other women it's the only way they want to be spoiled is back to compatibility. Life is full of disappointments. If her way of being spoiled not for you (regardless of when you find out about it) shrug, and move on.

Good thing that nobody's appointed you to be on the jury to decide what does and does not qualify as a kink. You don't really get a vote on what other people do. If it's not something you want to participate in, that's fine. I'll bet I've got kinks that you wouldn't want to participate in either. That doesn't make any of them not a part of BDSM.

vantage38t -> RE: Financial Domination? (4/14/2013 12:34:30 PM)
yes but in my mind if she wants money /tribute before she will talk to you she is a sex worker . respect is earned and not given

quote: ORIGINAL: vantage38t yes but in my mind if she wants money /tribute before she will talk to you she is a sex worker . She may be a sex worker... or she may not be a sex worker... How exactly is whether or not she is a sex worker relevant to whether or not financial domination is a legitimate fetish? Hookers engage in blow jobs... does that mean blow jobs aren't legitimate vanilla sex?

LadyPact -> RE: Financial Domination? (4/14/2013 12:52:03 PM)
Respect is earned and not given. I absolutely agree with that point. I am not a findomme. However, I could absolutely see the logic of findommes who will not talk with potentials without tribute up front. I see that the same as the professional Dommes who limit the time they will spend on prospective clients before they book actual sessions. It's really not that much of a different concept of a lifestyle Domme, such as Myself, who doesn't spend a lot of time talking to anyone who isn't compatible with Me on certain kinks. To be very blunt, if something is not in My best interest, I stick with the folks who will be.

quote: ORIGINAL: vantage38t yes but in my mind if she wants money /tribute before she will talk to you she is a sex worker . respect is earned and not given Who cares what's in your mind? That's the point. Are you the designator of kink? Does everyone listen to you when they get a hardon as far as how they can get off in an acceptable manner? If so then will you please take anything involving shit off the kinky menu, because that grosses me out. I think shit should not be kinky. But dammit, it is. Some people really love their shit and would raise a holy shitfit if they couldn't call their shit play kinky. So what if you think she is a sex worker, what does that matter? If some random submissive guy wants to pay someone to talk to him that's his fucking kink, what does it matter if you say it's not a kink and the woman doing it is a sex worker? Hint: Your opinion doesn't matter anything to the guy doing the talking, he's going to talk and he's going to do it as often as he likes. He isn't thinking "Oh, Vantage 38t thinks this is disrespectful and I'm patronizing a sex worker." He could give a crap. Your opinion also doesn't matter to the woman taking the money, she's going to take it, and take it as often as she likes. What is so hard for people to understand here? People want different things. Whatever they want they are entitled to have. It doesn't matter what the rest of us call it, or say about it, the people who want it will go out and get it. I might think the only car in the world people should drive is an amphibious tank, and I might be very vocal and belligerent in my rantings on that idea. I better get used to the fact that others are going to go out and get whatever freaking car that they want and that suits their life. I can't have all other cars in the world banned because I think they're useless. Get it?

There are several complex theories of what constitutes a fetish and how a fetish develops in individuals. Many studies on the subject. Books written on the topic. And here you rather casually dismiss away all that scholarship and experience with the simple wave of your hand. Such chutzpah! Bravo.

Is it just me, or is this all starting to sound like deja vu? [8D]

quote: ORIGINAL: Rochsub2009 Is it just me, or is this all starting to sound like deja vu? [8D] Yep. Although, just like in the other thread, everyone seems to think it's an argument over kink, but I think the argument is over money. It's the money that brings out the worst in people. I think that's where the misunderstandings about this subject stem from, not the actual "kink," per se. I think people might be saying something along the lines of "Your kink is okay, but money is the root of all evil." It has shades of class struggle, "haves vs. have-nots" kind of thing. Even if we all agreed that financial domination is a legitimate fetish, there are poor and working class people who will not be able to indulge in this fetish, if they were so inclined to do so. So, I imagine what happens is something analogous to a hungry guy peering through the windows of a fancy restaurant, watching people indulge in fine dining and eating their fill, while he's eating out of garbage cans. He might even feel much worse if he saw the people inside flipping him off. So, it's not that surprising that these threads come up. Those who flaunt their wealth create feelings of envy and bitterness in those who don't have it. It's an age old story, nothing new about this at all. No great mystery behind it either. Of course, many of the underlying issues related to this topic are more in the realm of politics and economics. There might also be some gender/cultural issues in that men and women might perceive money differently. There's also the historical tie-in between sex and money - and to what lengths men will go for sexual gratification. There are numerous overlapping issues which seem to come into play whenever the topic of financial domination is raised, more so than just the kink aspects.
