ORIGINAL: Alecta Financial Domination is taboo because it cuts too close to real power for most people, and because we do not have a perfect BDSM community. Bullshit. Financial dominants that advertise for 'pay pigs' are folks who just learned a few BDSM terms and have no idea what BDSM really involves. They are why Financial Domination gets a bad rap. quote:
We exist in a culture where power and success is measured universally by wealth. No matter what our personal individual beliefs, this affects all of us in a deep and real way. In a genuine vanilla relationships, your money and their money become your shared money when you start tying your future with them genuinely. When you start feeling insecure or contemplating separation, you start hoarding your own money away from their money. There is no clearer common indication of how we actually value money than this. It is control, and trust, and power- the ability to own ourselves and determine our own fates. We can claim that is not the case, but in most cases that would be a lie. What hogwash. quote:
For most people, power exchange is anywhere from a game to a shirking of responsibilities they don't want to maintain. You obviously do not understand power exchange, and how it relates to BDSM, if this is how you would describe it. quote:
Most people think of a TPE to be where the other person gets to be in charge and take care of everything and every decision, and is responsible for telling me what they want and what to do to keep him/her happy (so I don't have to think about it), and therefore want that experience, often without consideration of who they will share that experience with (this is what we might call the Fantasy). I've read this 5 times and I am still not understanding what you are saying. quote:
The power they think of in the BDSM realm isn't real power, it doesn't have the same acute power over their fears and self-worth as money does. Having to consider actual financial ramifications breaks the fantasy and actually threatens their sense of control, more than any imagined act of degradation or torture. Ridiculous. Money has fuckall to do with BDSM relative to power over fears and self-worth. In fact, some people deal with their fears and self-worth within their particular dynamic. So, which do you think is more powerful? All money can do is buy a good therapist, the BDSM dynamic that helps people cope with their self-worth and their fears, is something that is deeply personal, and money cannot buy that. quote:
And sadly, the grand majority of people wearing the BDSM badge are just here to indulge a fantasy, and how dare you break that fantasy by making them think about the possibility! The 'grand majority'? You are out of your tree. You make it sound like all BDSM is is fantasy fulfillment. While some of that may be true, those that practice this lifestyle in their daily lives make it a reality, not a fantasy. quote:
In an ideal BDSM community, nothing is taboo, only whether you want it or not. There is plenty that is taboo in the BDSM community. Don't go down the road of "Just because it isn't your kink, doesn't make it wrong." and use that as an excuse. All you have to do is read the terms of service here to understand what is not, legally allowed. I do not understand how calling these financial dominants, that advertise, 'scammers' is wrong. I've talked with a few of these people on these boards, to a fault, most every one, when challenged to describe what power exchange is, they couldn't do it. They just flap about how taking someones money for their own use gets them off. If that is the case, they would get the same sexual thrill if they sold their car to someone, or if they got a birthday card with money in it, and they do not get that thrill. So, it is not technically a fetish according to the definition. quote:
There are people who desire to be financially ruined by another, and people who desire to financially ruin others. That is not financial domination. Ask the ones who do it in their daily lives, face to face. They will tell you what it is, and it isn't ruining someone. quote:
There are those who enjoy giving money to others to show their regard, and people who enjoy receiving such money. There are people who enjoy being "forced" to give up their money, and those who enjoy seeing their money wasted by spiteful children. While that may be, it still doesn't legitimize the Pay Princesses. quote:
In the ideal BDSM community, people would simply decline their interest with YKINMK. But unfortunately, like all other communities, it is full of loud, self-important characters who believe that their ways and beliefs are the One True Way and how dare anyone go against that..... You are quite full of yourself, aren't you? I am about as far away from a "One Twue Wayer" that I could possibly be, I'll accept pretty much any legitimate, and legal kink or fetish under the sun... because I understand the lifestyle. I've described a bit about why the Pay Princesses are full of shit. Those that send them money have more money than sense, but if they get their rocks off, fine... but within the confines and definitions of fetish and kink, Pay Princesses don't fit those definitions. Edited for clarity.
