ORIGINAL: MzMia Hell I even made a do-me list for her to use! Now THAT is really funny! I think that was the most poignant point. Every angle has been covered here and elsewhere on other threads. Cartesian method "Top Ten": 1. "Tribute" exists in the BDSM vocab. Get over it. 2. Leather suits, toys, equipped dungeons or rentals cost money. Get over it. (So do gym memberships!) 3. A Pro is a Pro, leave Her/Him alone. That is a source of income for them. Don't attack the bretheren. 4. Just cuz a non-pro asks for tribute who are you, puny sub/slave, to reply in defiance "no!"? They can hold your testicles in the palm of their hands and squeeze real hard, why not your wallet? Stingy, selfish subbie!! 5. As long as there is a market for them, they will continue to exist. Certain men have self-esteem issues too. Newsflash! 6. Since another thread suggests homes over apartments for Dom/mes, there are always bills to pay or that nice new pair of shoes She might like. A sub should 'want' Her to be able to buy them, don't you think? 7. She is sacrificing her time, you can sacrifice a little money. Maybe tribute is only on the first meeting because She feels her time is valuable and She has had her time wasted before. If you fork it over, She at least gets something out of the deal if it goes south. 8. Tribute can have nothing to do with money. It can be simply a symbol of utter submission, the biggest hurdle. It goes right for the throat of the matter. It removes the power of this 'male dominated' society in symbolic form for $50 bucks. It levels the playing field in the sub's eyes. 9. Many vanilla relationships have the exact same unspoken dynamic anyway. She likes the bling-bling and I give it to her but she's MY ho! It stops you from spending your paycheck on booze at the bar where you're not having any fun anyway! 10. There actually might be some other dynamic to it, like the sub had to work in HS and turn the paycheck over to his single mother, and he has no problem doing it "if you're going to live in my house." But I still like MzMias the best. Men want free sex and want you to throw yourselves at them, do them just as they like to be done, and then go to work the next day and have all the bragging rights in the world. The money tribute is a cold fact of reality that seperates the emotional attachment according to what that particular Domme desires. Women in general use more of their right side brain and the flash of cash might turn that side off for a half hour, so she can focus on the subs 'profitability' to her in other ways without crossing into too much sympathy if he is a miserable SOB or has a unbecoming whimper in her eyes some other way. It is like "Night at the Roxbury" when Will Ferrel is asked by the rent-a-priest if he wanted to marry Emily, he replies: "My Dad already paid the caterer."
