ORIGINAL: Hollyucinogen I HAVE been searching. I've just spend five days scouring the Internet for ideas, and I've only found one page so far that actually lists ideas. I'm not asking you to do my work for me, I'm asking you what some of your favorite ideas are - Dommes AND subs - because I want to make sure that I'm doing it correctly, and not boring the subs to death because they're used to having someone else's good ideas. Slightly rude and unnecessary response to a completely innocent question, though, thanks. Totally helped, I'm so glad I decided to trust that another Domme would want to give advice to someone who just got into the scene. quote:
It's no one specific, just in general. I'm worried that, since I'm new, my ideas are going to come across as boring and green, and that a sub isn't going to like it. I don't have a sub yet, though. Look, I'll be honest...you being a findomme doesn't bother me. Findommes in general don't bother me. To each their own and your kink is just as valid as my kink is. Who am I to judge? Everyone, findommes and finsubs too, deserve to be able to be who they are. What I do have an issue with is that you are wanting me to give you my ideas so you can turn around and charge someone else while passing off what I've given you as yours because I highly doubt you are going to give me credit or a percentage of your take. I've put years into learning what I do and how to do it properly. You are admittedly new to this. Your ideas are going to be green, new, and you are going to fumble. It's the nature of the beast. We all started somewhere. Are you honest with the potential subs you speak to about your newness? Call it what you want, but the reality is that you are wanting others to do your work for you so you can turn around and profit from it. You don't have to like what I or anyone else says. You can call it rude and unnecessary. But Im not going to blow smoke up your ass and cover the world in rainbows for you. I'm going to be straight up with you because Im doing you no favors by pandering to you. That won't help you grow and develop. I'm going to echo what others say. Put in some time with dominance before you begin charging for it. Call it an internship...an apprenticeship. I can't go out to start practicing surgery without graduating from medical school. This is a lot like that in a way. You learn from more skilled folks (hell, I've been doing this for about 15 years and I still take time to learn from others) and figure out what YOUR way is. You can't get that from Internet searches and forum questions in all honesty.
