Very well expressed, and very brave of you to admit all that on a public forum. Thanks for sharing that with us. quote:
ORIGINAL: NeedAWhirlie i'm new to the forums, but not to CS or D/s by any means (I say that wistfully from my perch of 39 years ha ha)... so please don't find me too presumptuous in adding my two cents here. I think it's fascinating that this topic caused such a stir in such a short timespan. First, MissImmortalPain, thank you! for saying so succinctly and perfectly what I was thinking. I don't know you or ResidentSadist, so i'm keeping myself reserved in manner. I also will confess I skipped over pages 3-15 (oh, I did catch the German bit), so I deeply apologize if i'm repeating something here or missed something critical that makes my post completely irrelevant. I'm curious, ResidentSadist, why the need for a DSM-approved definition of something someone calls a kink? I'm not going to defend from an APA perspective, because I couldn't. But I don't feel it's necessary. If I derive sexual pleasure from a certain "atypical" situation, I can call it my kink, yes? I agree that not all kinks, certainly, fall under the BDSM umbrella and sometimes it's eyeroll-provoking when BDSM seems to have gone mainstream hip and is completely misused. I think that's the case with the rise of financial domination- simple human exploitation for monetary gain. BUT, I can personally attest to the existence of financial domination as a sexual kink. So, I'll just go ahead and open up here, something in all the years of CS(fka CM) profile journal entries I've never shared... I do derive sexual pleasure at the thought of submitting financially. So i'm presenting the other side of this coin. Now- will I sign up for a "pay tax" with some of these FinDommes advertising online? No because it's not going to be a safe reality for me. But in my fantasies, that's another story and orgasms happen. I say this, as embarrassing as I find it (not in a kinky way) to admit at large, because while I might be in a small minority, it's not a minority of one. So for the others in a similar situation as mine, I wanted to start to break down the shame of it. That's why you don't see it in person, ResidentSadist- because it's hugely embarrassing and it's never welcomed, and worse, someone like you goes on a soapbox about how it can't be real. How could that make someone like me feel? Like hiding it away, away, away and highlighting only the "acceptable" BDSM kinks I have. You could meet me in person and never, ever know this about me, so you'd go on believing this kink is not real. So let me just clarify- no, I've never and I won't ever sign up to a FinDomme online to pay her just to pay her, but neither will I engage in any online D/s that I would consider a real relationship. But I have been in real-life D/s situations in which financial control and submission was one component of the relationship. Consensual and enjoyable. Anyway, to me it's just another aspect of ultimate control... thank you again, MissImmortalPain.
