The OP appears to be vanilla-minded and not yet aware of what is going on with a financial kink (a form of power exchange). If you go to the BDSM discussions, at the top, you'll see a thread started by Resident Sadist called, "BDSM Books." That's a great place to start learning more. While I'm not sure about books on the financial kink, specifically, I do know that many of the books listed do help newbies with the language and the culture, of BDSM. The tone of the OP does show some ignorance in regard to how "respectful towards others" looks and sounds, here. Some Dominants, male or female, take control of their submissive's finances. Some Dominants don't. However, while a Domme may say that she has an interest in fattening her wallet by taking the submissive's earnings, money or property (house, car, etc...), a male Dominant who has an interest in fattening his wallet by taking the submissive's earnings, money or property (house, car, etc...), he is more likely to wait to mention it as one of his hard limits. Some men don't feel they have control if the submissive has the proverbial "FU" money. So, if you take a hard look at D/s and financial expansion, you'll see that money is changing hands regularly. Who pays for dates? Travel? Toys? Whose relationship increased one person's financial resources at the expense (time OR money OR gifts) of the other person? I feel like I've been repeating this a lot, lately, but okay... The financial gain of a Dominant is about a personal preference. Both male and female dominants MAY choose to take money from their submissives, whether that be for a "once only" scene, OR in a long-term relationship. ETA - Some submissives think that when the Dominant accepts their money, that the Dominant is charging them. Some submissives think that when the Dominant accepts their money, that the Dominant is taking charge. Usually, the condemnation of this practice is directed towards female Dominants and male submissives. But, that's just sexist BS. Just look around your local community - male Doms are getting LOTS of money from being in a relationship with a submissive - it's simply not spoken of. As other posters have said, what is important is that you know what your own interest is, and communicate it clearly, with others.
