Financial Domination: The Misunderstood Fetish

Financial dominance, although often misunderstood, is both a valid fetish and a very powerful form of power exchange. It is often practiced on the fringes of the BDSM community.

Having a fetish of being financially controlled by a powerful Domme is somewhat similar to having a pantyhose or foot fetish; only that the object of the fetish is money instead of feet or an article of clothing. Individuals who participate in the fetish are usually aroused and in some cases even aroused by their fetish play; just as is the case in a number of other sexual fetishes. In the cases of Financial Domination this excitement usually occurs when the slave delivers money to the Owner; feeling powerless under his control. In most cases, the man will experience an intense surge of emotion both when he thinks of giving money to a Domme and when he gives Tributes. This excitement can last even beyond that point, lasting for days after engaging in this fetish.

I say she and he, because normally the giver is a man, the receiver is a woman. While there are cases of dominant males participating in the fetish; it is extremely rare. Like foot fetishes, the financial dominance fetish is one in which women are generally considered superior; therefore, you will rarely find a woman serving a man in this way.

The given payment is called Tribute; and can cost anywhere from around fifty dollars when strangers first meet to several thousand dollars, as can be the case in well-established relationships. Like other Master/Slave relationships, some Financial Dominants will form strong bonds with those who serve them over a long period of time. However, these relationships will be very platonic. While Financial Domination is a sexually charged, exciting and teasing fetish, most Dominatrixes will not have sex with their slaves, just as a professional Dominatrix would not with her clients.

The women who participate in this Fetish are called Princesses, Queens and even Goddesses. In this Exchange of Power not only money is exchanged, in many cases gifts are also given; which are usually bought on a wish list. Gifts are so popular because so much emphasis is placed on pampering and pampering the Dominant Female. Allowing the Lady to live a life of absolute luxury while the man fights and suffers in many ways for Her is often a big part of Financial Domination. Time and time again she must give up and give up, so Ella can live beyond her means. There is a great contrast between how the owner and the slave live within this fetish, as opposed to other BDSM relationships where there is more of a mix between the lifestyles of the two. After all, in Financial Domination She is Queen and Goddess, and he is her slave. Some Ladies specialize in ruining slaves, while others drain more conservatively and carefully, knowing that a completely ruined slave is useless. However, the sheer number of men who fantasize about being ruined by a beautiful and powerful woman is staggering; however, it should be noted that for most men, it is only the fantasy of this that appeals to them, not the reality. Only in rare cases does one really need and yearn for the reality of ruin.

This brings me to the next point. Those men who like the fetish usually crave a fair amount of humiliation and exploitation; some prefer heavy forms of Domination that include ruin, while others like things soft and prefer to spoil and improve their Lady’s life; perhaps adoring her a little aside from her. Most men who participate in the fetish like to be called humiliating names like piggy, pay pet, cash cow and even more demeaning names. Some even like objectification and being ignored for days by their Domme. Relationships from the outside may not appear to have any kind of mercy or love, although some Dommes take pride in caring for their paid pets; especially those who are with them long-term.

Financial domination is an exchange of power in which the slave relinquishes his power and gives it to his lady by showering her with money and gifts. After all, can it be hard to see how this could be such a strong form of power exchange? Money is the supreme power in today’s society and most people consider that a man’s worth is tied to his possessions and how much money he has. The less a man possesses, the more shame and humility he feels; this is something that society has engraved in everyone’s brain. For many reasons, money is the best vehicle to fulfill a slave’s wishes. The slave gives up his money and his possessions, thus becoming more vulnerable, and the Mistress becomes more powerful by acquiring wealth and material goods. Most of those who participate in Financial Domination have a strong fetish for money, and many men who are willing to serve financially or be financially exploited also crave humiliation; in cases of intense humiliation.

While most Financial Domination is practiced solely online; although some people have been known to do it in real time as well; in the form of exploitation of money, compulsive purchases and various forms of humiliation. Face-to-face Financial Domination is very rare. Because it is mainly practiced online, there are a large number of people who get into the fetish simply for quick money and therefore there have been a lot of “fake” people getting involved in the scene lately; especially among the ladies. This is unfortunate, but unfortunately it is a case where the Internet is the primary medium for many things.

This is a very dynamic fetish, but it is commonly misunderstood. One has to understand that everyone is wired differently, and human sexuality is not a case of black and white. We come in all different colors and we all like different things. While you may never fully understand financial dominance, I hope my article has helped you understand it better.
