ORIGINAL: Rochsub2009 Is it just me, or is this all starting to sound like deja vu? 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.
