Okay, so I was arguing with a female dominant, who objected when I commented that way too many female dominants appear just to want money and to have no real interest in d/s and bdsm. Here was her response -- Also, the part I take offense to is your comment about the "gold diggers". I am not a Pro, but I have absolutely no problem with requiring a tribute to those who I feel should pay. There are many reasons why I find nothing wrong with women accepting, or even charging for sessions and such. This lifestyle is extremely expensive. Even some of the cheaper toys run at least 30.00. Not to mention how much it costs to rent a dungeon or buy the equipment for their own home. Why should the Domme have to buy everything and the sub gets to enjoy it without contributing anything. You also seem to have failed to see the other side of this scenario. What about the "subs" out there who are specifically looking for a lifestyle Mistress, just so they do not have to pay anything? Or, how about the "subs" who are just pretending to be and just want a quick, cheap way to get off? So the Domme who is looking for something more than a one night thing gets tricked into using Her toys in Her space and is left with nothing, while the "sub" got what they wanted and gave absolutely nothing to the Domme or the situation. Another reason, one I just learned recently, a lot of subs out there LIKE to give money to a Domme, be it by "blackmail" or key holding or other ways, they actually get off and get pleasure by "being forced" to give a/their Mistress money. Before you go running your mouth again, you should figure out the other person's views so you can change yours accordingly. I wrote a big long response message to this, but she blocked me before I had to respond (last word syndrom, I believe). Rather than waste it, I thought I'd post what I wrote on this board, in case anyone is interested or wants to provide feedback. I've used this website for a while now, and I frequently read the board, but I've never posted, so I guess I can compensate now by posting the following overly long response: The whole reason I tend to emphasize developing a l/t, meaningful relationship is that I want to distinguish myself from those some subs who just want a cheap thrill or "a quick, easy way to get off." That's specifically what I don't want to be portrayed as... That aside, are you really going to defend those dominant females seeking "generous money pigs" or "pocketbook slaves"? What they seek is illegal and is specifically against the rules of this website. They threaten the very existence of this website and are harming the d/s community. Who cares whether some guys get off to it? They're part of the problem as well. I don't really have a problem with pro domination -- as you said, these people might need specific equipment -- not to say, though, that someone needs all kinds of fancy gadgets to dominate. There's a website, frugaldomme.com, that might interest you, that proves my point. There's something subtly contradictory in there being so many individuals seeking "financially secure" live-in slaves. If what these dominants truly seek is just a slave, someone to serve them 24/7, why does it matter whether or not this slave has a nice portfolio? THAT is what is actually amusing here -- the original notion of a slave is basically someone who has no money, who is owned by someone with a lot of money -- not the other way around. I hope to see, as time goes on, more *true dominants* to emerge into the scene. If these individuals are intelligent and sophisticated -- as I require in a dominant -- they might already possess the means to support as many slaves as they desire, without resorting to anything illegal. To date, I seen very few profiles along these lines. Not that owning a slave should really require that much funding, again... that's what's really laughable here... the whole notion of a slave is someone on whom you spend as little money as possible to support his or her existence... otherwise, people would never have used slaves in the first place! I don't know... do I really seem that unreasonable here? It is pretty funny, in the end... strange times.
