ORIGINAL: Hercuckslave Hearty applause to Ms. Akasha and Ms. Scarlet. Very well said by both ladies. Thanks. I agree that any form of finances involved in D/s play is best served in an up front, across the boards exchange. As I said in my post, that is one thing I respect about serious Professional Dommes as opposed to the freeze dried money dommes. Pros lay the cards on the table, say this is how it is, and exchange a service for remuneration. Clean, simple, pure. And Ms. Scarlet, you are one of the FIRST Pro Dommes who I've seen openly admit that in a prodomme situation, it is the client who is the one in control, not the Domme. Bravo for calling a spade a spade. It always makes me roll my eyes a bit when a ProDomme claims that she is different and she is always the one in control of her "slaves". Fact of the matter is they are not "slaves", they are clients. M's m While it may not be true for all pro femdoms, there are many that DO have "real power exchange" with clients even though the client is the one paying. Subs love saying that the woman can never be in real control if the client is paying and has the ability to walk away. When I was doing phone domination regularly, the phone slaves were not in charge because they were paying me. Because I didn't need their money. I didn't do it to pay my rent, I didn't do it for a living. I did it for amusement and all the money I made was extra -- and I considered it my "kink" fund. For toys, crazy trips, etc. Because I didn't do it full time and because demand was very high, I could quite easily pick and choose who I would ALLOW to pay me to submit. So I made the rules clear. If I didn't like the way a guy interacted with me, I ended the call and didn't charge him, and respectfully asked him to try another phone domme. If I didn't get anything out of it, I didn't do it. If I set hours for 5pm to 7pm on Friday night and decided I wasn't in the mood, I didn't turn on my phone. The subs that I DID enjoy, and did feel great chemistry with, I told them so and we usually had an ongoing thing. At my peak, 80% of my callers were regulars, and of the "new" men that called, I would turn down 90% of them if they didn't wow me out of the gate. The pro femdoms in the flesh that make a good living, have a solid reputation and are financially stable are very capable of screening subs and rejecting those that do not appear to want to play by her rules. These pros also rely on repeat business a lot, and the repeat clients are the ones that aren't expecting a specific scene she's not interested in -- of course, she is going to pick the subs she enjoys. The subs that say "femdoms are not in control because they are getting paid" either don't realize this, or are bitter because they are one of the guys who was rejected, no matter how much money they offered. When I used to do calls there were some subs that offered to pay me double or triple my rate to give them a chance, but if I didn't like someone, if they were a robot or pushy or whiny, forget it. No amount of money was worth "pretending" to dominate someone who bothered me. I only dominated men that wanted ME to be in control. If they started the call with, "Can I tell you what it is I want you to do?" and I could tell they were used to femdoms who catered to their kink, I told them they needed to try another femdom.
