ilovestarbucks -> The Difference Between Pro-Domme & Women Who Charge (10/29/2016 11:49:04 AM)
I've been going to a BDSM function and met a Dominant woman. I asked if she was a Pro-Domme and she said no. We've been talking and I told her I would like to be trained as her personal pet/slave. I'm not looking for sexual intercourse, no BJ, no HJ, no "release" on my part. I just want to be trained and be in an authentic D/s relationship with her. She told me she is very busy and is only able to see me once a week, maybe twice. She gave me her address and told me what time to show up and what to wear. She then says she expects a gift each time we meet. However, if I'm too busy to buy her a gift I can give her cash instead. I asked her how much should the cash amount be? She said $200 is reasonable - however, it should only be under emergency conditions, when I'm not able to buy a gift. I told her that she initially said she isn't a Pro-Domme, so why is she charging me? She said Pro-Dommes charge money for services rendered and this is their main income. She isn't a Pro-Domme because she doesn't charge money and she isn't offering a service. This is an authentic D/s relationship. And I'm the only one she will be seeing. She said to think of it this way. If you are in a relationship and your significant other is constantly asking you for something you will want some type of appreciation or else you would feel used and abused. In her case, gift = appreciation. Honestly, I don't know what to make of it. (By the way, I'm not looking to have my profile critiqued, or have someone bring up my past posts)

sorry but your past posts are relevant. Stop paying women. You are the person having these issues. Those are her rules, you can say no and walk away. She may find someone else to do her bidding. You wont.

ilovestarbucks, She is NOT a professional. Pro-Dommes and FinDommes charge you for services rendered. That's it. This woman is not charging you for services rendered. When you are in a Dominant/submissive relationship, the submissive must make sacrifices. She is only asking you for gifts to show your appreciation. Quit your whining!!!

It sounds like she wants you to bring her a present whenever you see her. Reasonable, we like presents. If you can't be bothered to take 20 minutes out of your week to think about what she might like and get her a present, she's punishing you by imposing a $200 fine. And honestly, if you can't take that 20 minutes to think about her and what would be a nice present for her out of your entire week, then you're the one treating her like a service provider. And if that's the case she might as well get paid.

I think "findomme" might be more accurate. The difference is that when you go to a pro-domme, you are paying her for a service. She is being payed to cater to your fantasy with in her skills, talent and kink-ability. A fin-dom is expecting you to cater to her interest and pay for the opportunity. However, I agree with previous posters that have said that this is just as much your pattern. There are many lifestyle dominants who want relationships, not money. On the other hand, you can't pay or bribe them to be compatible with you. If they are not, they will move on.

Since when did BDSM become so mercenary? If they ask for compensation of any kind they are either pro domme or findomme. When a gift is "required" it is no longer a gift. It is payment.

Some questions you might want to ask her: If she wants you to show appreciation for all the things you ask of her, What does she think that you are asking of her? What does she think that she is doing that is worth appreciating? In general, if she is training you, you show your appreciation by behaving as trained. Is buying her gifts, what she is training you for? Because that is the behavior she is requiring of you...so are you buying her gifts as a thank you for requiring that? I might be able to get behind something like bringing her a specific order from starbucks and learning what type of coffee she wants, paying for and picking up her drying cleaning and learning more about her specific laundry care. But what are you learning from her that she is expecting appreciation for? Is it worth 200 dollars. (It might be if it is a skill that you can apply to your job and eventually earn 200 for)

That was my thought: quote: ORIGINAL: ilovestarbucks I just want to be trained and be in an authentic D/s relationship with her. I will reiterate again, your approach is what sets you up. You don't approach it like a relationship, you approach it like a transaction and then get upset because she does the same. Every single post you make is the same thing. Whining about myriad of women that try to charge you. The common denominator is you.

I have no problems buying her something from Starbucks, or doing some errands for her. But don't Dominant women enjoy training and having things done her way? Having someone do errands for her?

Most D/s relationships are about the connection contained within the power, not just the power. You're only offering the chance to tell someone what to do. Chances are she can do that with a lot less effort elsewhere.

I'm not telling someone what to do. She is telling me what to do.

You really do have three options when some one says they want you to buy gifts to show your appreciation: 1. Buy gifts because you are appreciative. 2. Don't buy gifts because you are not appreciative. 3. Decide you are not appreciative and let her know what you expect of her to earn your appreciation. In other words 1. it works for you 2. it doesn't work for you and you move on 3. it doesn't work for you and you renegotiate.

I'm curious why you are so focused on the $200 when she also said she would prefer a gift (of no determiedvalue)? Why not just bring her flowers and Starbucks?

Because I asked her if I could buy her some herbal tea and health snacks as a gift and she said she would consider me cheap and not appreciative at all. I then assumed the gift had to be close to $200

If it's a Pro-Domme you give her money. If it's a relationship, you give her gifts to show your appreciation.

Teavanna and Whole Foods can quickly add up to 200.

She is in a relationship with him. Is she not appreciative of him? What gifts is she buying him as appreciation?

Alecta -> RE: The Difference Between Pro-Domme & Women Who Charge (10/29/2016 6:06:57 PM)
you should ask what she would consider good gifts instead of jumping to conclusions. Gifting stuff you just randomly throw into your shopping basket while you're grocery shopping does make you cheap. But then "cheap" to me is a gesture thing and not a price tag thing; she might disagree. On the other hand, is that kind of humiliation part of the relationship?
