DecadentGoddess -> Why are financial fetishes not accepted here? (12/3/2006 3:23:20 PM)
I find it offensively hypocritical that Collarme.com disallows financial fetishes from being referred to on a site that purports to be BDSM in nature. As a lifestyle Domme and Financial Sadist, with a bevy of souls whose fetish is serving me financially, I ask you, what difference is there between a whip and a checking account number? The premise may be different, but the philosophy is the same. In my opinion, at least. Share yours?

The difference is obvious... cash. Beyond the usual legal minefield inherent to BDSM, once there is a monetary exchange the issue of prostitution becomes salient. And while you and I may understand and appreciate the difference, the legal system does not. John

I'm proud Collar Me keeps most of the professinal trash out. BDSM is not about cash. Walk a street....

The premise may be different, but the philosophy is the same. In my opinion, at least. Share yours? There's a very decent thread about financial domination in the "Ask a Mistress" section - check it out. You will get a lot of good input, etc. I think the fetish is given a tough shake because there are way too many women that demand cash straight across for correspondence (and then vanish) or demand tributes for photos, etc. -- never intending to send any. That gets lumped into the category of "financial domination" when really they are "scam artists" - pure and simple. It would be interesting if you had your money slaves create accounts here and come on and share how they get aroused by their fetish (so people can see there IS a demand for this), how they screen their partners (as to not get ripped off), some of the pitfalls, etc. Sadly, we do NOT get many level headed, educated types on here (subs) talking about their fetish to give money away and how they do it. If more men came on here and talked about their fetish, it would legitimize the femdoms that cater to it. I know these men exist (in the other thread, I pointed out why I don't indulge them). However, they don't seem to post here. Why not point a few this way? Akasha

Perhaps you also have a greed fetish?

Well, I suspect (although, I certainly can't speak for CM) that it has to do with the fact that the folks that own/run/believe in CM think that those who seek to use subs or other BDSM folks as a virtual ATM, are effectively human sewage and don't deserve the right of passage that includes an opportunity to spew their unadulterated garbage to those who are here to enjoy their time, meet enjoyable people and possibly connect over time...........could encompasse the totality of it. (But then again, that's just my take on things. I could be wrong).

You might want to keep this in mind; thems that pays the bills, makes the rules. If you don't like it, you don't have to be here. ~stef

Collar Me's policies are far too lenient in my opinion. I'd disallow any form of monetary tribute.

well learn something new every day never heard of a financial fetish. I know that is one i will never explore. love to shop too much to give my money away

amaidiamond -> RE: Why are financial fetishes not accepted here? (12/3/2006 3:50:52 PM)
Shrugs, because an awful lot of people find it intensly distastefull. Myself I don't care, if people are stupid enough to pay let them waste their money however if others have said, those that run the site make the rules, they have no need to answer to your questions of why or to justify themselves to you, if you don't like it theres a door just down the hall.

DecadentGoddess -> RE: Why are financial fetishes not accepted here? (12/3/2006 4:10:28 PM)
I do appreciate your point of view. After realizing that I enjoyed receiving gifts, and that subs enjoyed giving them, I discovered another aspect to the multi-dimensional world of BDSM. These subs not only enjoyed gifting, but I began controlling their bank accounts as well. At first I was very leary, but it became so satisfying for all parties that I deemed it yet another fetish in a world that seems to be developing fetishes, sub-fetishes - like religion and it's many branches. I guess I was just thrown aback by the hypocrisy of this site discriminating against what is decidely a genuine fetish. I find it a shame that sincere and responsible domination in whatever form could be tisked at. I thought that's why the folks into BDSM had a community - to accept each other.

Yanno, some like it, some don't. Kinda like many other controversial fetishes, such as scat, rape play, and non-consentually fucking spaghetti. The big difference is, I would suspect, a liability issue, and I'm sure someone who knows their ass from a whole in the ground (unlike me) will correct me. CM can probably avoid a whole slew of fraud etc claims by just officially disallowing anything where people take money for "nothing." (Even if gratification is something, it prolly wouldn't hold up in court.) Financial slavery and the likes, from my understanding, also often involve consentual blackmail, consentual extortion and similar things. While perfectly okay in the kink world, it's treading a fine line legally. I would stay away from that shit, too. Yours, benji

We have no community, all we have is a bunch of people with loosely related interests. Anyone who uses that to guilt others into accepting their fetish is, in my opinion only, a scheming hussy.

Akasha, I just read through that very thread! And thank you for responding with such insightful philosophies and great suggestions. I have one sub in particular who I think would shed alot of light upon the subject here. Because you're decidely correct - sometimes general acceptance means coming out and saying "I like this." It makes it okay for others to like it. Thanks for the insight! =)

And while you and I may understand and appreciate the difference, the legal system does not. John Prostitution is to offer payment for sexual intercourse, financial slavery is giving money because they want to show how committed they are to you. I personally don’t see a problem with this, if someone wants to show me how submissive they are by sending me money carry on, I wont stop them, well maybe just to count each note or kiss each note. Just being honest. I read CollarMe’s blurb and can see why they have made an issue with financial slavery. Maybe they kept the financial slavery out as to keep the pro dommes out? An online fetish site for those of us who play for fun not payment? (All donations greatly received ) No idea Decadent Goddess that was just a thought, then again this is a free site and a very good one. There are not many (if there are any) bdsm related sites out there that are free to join and dont demand any payment. I have also found this site very polite and easy to use unlike the sites that demand payment to even send messages.

DecadentGoddess -> RE: Why are financial fetishes not accepted here? (12/3/2006 4:20:33 PM)
Perhaps I do. But greed, whipping someone, golden showers, sexy clothing. What's the difference really? There is always someone out there that could look at what you like and denounce it as wrong. I think that's the point I'm making here.

gooddogbenji -> RE: Why are financial fetishes not accepted here? (12/3/2006 4:21:17 PM)
They don't want to keep the pros out. Mod11 has come on here a number of times and blatantly stated that they have no issue with pros. I think it has to do with legality and people getting scammed of all their money by a "Domme," 16 year old kid in Vermont. Yours, benji

quote: ORIGINAL: stef ~stef I do suppose that there would be alot of spamming, and I can understand their reluctance on that note. However, if you want to make mention of it in your profile as a fetish, isn't that being upfront and honest?
