I've
seen a good number of people advertising for financial domination, and I
have to say, it has gotten me wondering. Could such a thing actually
work, or is it just a scam, people taking advantage of gullible
submissives for their own financial gain?
To answer that question, I think the best strategy is to try to develop a way that it COULD work. That is, in what situation would there be financial domination without anyone being taken advantage of?
Well, it seems to me like the major thing that matters with the fantasy of financial domination is the loss of control, the humiliation of it. Humiliation I can identify with.

So imagine a situation. Person A, we'll call him Steve, submits to Person B, who we'll call Donna. Donna decides to financially dominate Steve. When they go on dates, Donna is the only one to carry money. Steve gives her his money ahead of time (either to pay for everything in a traditional man-pays style, or going dutch). But she does the actual paying.
For more extensive financial domination, Donna tells Steve what to do with his money. He is, of course, allowed to pay for the essentials (rent, heat, etc), but she may decide his budget for other things. She may decide, for example, that Steve can only spend $10 a day on food, or require that he not have any extraneous expenses (ie, no cable, no internet, nothing). Steve takes the money that he would be spending on these things and puts it in a bank account, where he can have money to purchase gifts for Donna if he wants, or just to pay for their dates.
The important aspect here is that while Donna can tell Steve what to do with his money, she does not actually get access to it. Steve can spoil her, lavishing gifts upon her, if he so wishes. But that's up to him. She cannot possibly clean out his accounts, steal his identity, or anything like that. Instead, she simply takes control over that part of his life, imposing either limitations or expectations (like expecting him to buy a new wardrobe from a specific store, for example).
This, I think, could work. It could be successful, consensual fantasy play. Financial domination, but without the interplay of potential scamming.
That said, would I be interested in such a thing? No. But then, I'm married, and so my finances aren't entirely up to me anyway; those decisions would affect my wife as well. Still, I don't think I'd enjoy someone else having that control.
At the end of the day, do I think it's a scam? most of the time, yes. But I think there is a possibility that it could be serious.
Financial Domination is a fetish, usually added in with other fetishes such as blackmail, humiliation, etc, So no, it isn't a scam. The scam is when someone sees it or hears a glorified story about it such as, "I know this girl who sits around all day while men pay her to call them losers!" Then, women get online to "scam" money and throw up profiles asking for money. I think it can only be a scam when someone is requesting money from a financial sub, and doesnt know what she/he is doing-therefore providing a disappointing and negative experience for the one who paid. It is of course, all consensual, if done right.
ReplyDeleteIt's ridiculously stupid, no matter how you slice it. I don't blame the "goddess." Hell if someone would pay me to be an asshole to them, enough that I don't need a real job... I'd probably do it, too (though being an asshole full-time isn't easy... I have tried). But I do think any would-be slave foolish enough to give up money, and not get any other needs fulfilled in the process other than the humiliation/loss-of-control, probably needs professional help. Taking advantage of his psychological problem then is no better than selling drugs to a junkie. You're not providing any valuable service, you're just helping a sick man stay sick, with no reason to seek the help he actually needs.
ReplyDeleteNow, if you truly believe you are superior... then YOU need help, too. Not because of your conclusion - but because your own self-worth is apparently dependent on how you judge other people, and not yourself at all. And that's a pretty sad thought.
Financial domination is simply the exploitation of lonely weak-minded men who are desperate for female attention. It's sad for both the victims and the silly little "princess"es who think they're amazing until they get into their 30s, start losing their looks and have to go and get a job at mcdonalds because they didn't spend their life learning any useful skill.
ReplyDeleteThe thing that makes me laugh the most is how they often refer to their victims as "pathetic", when it's really their own parasitic lifestyle that's pathetic and their abuse of their victims deplorable.
Lots of the girls practicing this abuse masquerading as a fetish are narcissistic psychopaths who should be imprisoned for the harm they've caused.
"How lovely to think that no one need wait a moment, we can start now, start slowly changing the world. How lovely that everyone, great and small, can make their contribution...how we can always, always give something, even if it is only kindness"
