Being a Dominate woman myself I find that it is a wee bit hard swallow when I stumble upon a submissive who utters the phrase “A true Domme does it for free.” As if taking money for my time makes me any less dominate or some sort of phoney or fake. I often just blow it off as, well there goes some one who doesn’t get it; while they too, I am sure, have the same thoughts.
When something is your true lifestyle, I feel you shouldn’t deny it. In fact you should embrace it and make it part of your life. I do not look down on those who do go to a 9 – 5 job and pretends to be prim and proper till they get home and shimmy into some PVC and grab the platform heels and whips/chains; nope that is what gets them through.
I, on the other hand, made being dominate into a 24/7/365 day a year job as well as hobby. I have no fake vanilla facade I put up, I have no real me waiting to be set free, I am just that, ME! Furthermore, when you go to church * if you do * do you NOT pay the them? Oh wait that is called tithing.
The cold hard truth is that no matter what you do in this world you will have to pay some sort of fee: taxes, bills, membership, insurance… etc… If this is your hobby, then you should pay. If its your lifestyle, you should pay.
The rules are pretty simple: I am the Domme, I set the rules. Now, you can choose whether I am the Domme for you or not. If I am not, that is fine. I respect those who choose to not waste my time because they know what I am. I highly encourage submissives looking for a BDSM Domme to research before you contact.
Now free Dommes, this does NOT bother me at all. If you feel that you shouldn’t charge for what reason, then do not and more power to you. You are no less than me because I choose to charge for my time. What I do look down on is the free Dommes who belittle those who do charge. Quite simply I have so many I talk to on a daily basis; be they my personal stable of pets or the fetishists looking for a fetish fix, that if I didn’t charge I do not think I would have enough time in the DAY!!
I put alot into my sessions with my losers being as many of their fetishes are in fact mine as well. That said, I am sure many a free Domme also puts lots of time and care into their subs. I can only imagine they do not advertise their
services as I do though, or they would be swamped as well. In fact that is how I GOT INTO BDSM, I was on collarme.com and realized that I could simply NOT keep up with the guys contacting me. My alternative was very simple, I had to find a way to select the best of the crop. It was in fact a submissive who told me that he was really tired of not having as much time with me has he would like. He told me that a real sub would want to do anything to get my time and my attention was valuable. A real sub wouldn’t mind paying to prove he is ahead of the pack.
Odd as it may seem this was an extremely hard to comprehend at first but, when I took the leap it really took off. I thought most would scoff at the idea of tributing and paying me for chat time or cam or whatever but they didn’t! Most ENJOYED the fact that they could contribute in a more tangible way to my lifestyle. I was soon able to quit my job and live off the submissives who worshipped me both live and online.
It would be a complete lie to say that there weren’t more than a few who were put off by the idea, but at that point most had already had quite an intimate relationship with me that they were more than willing to pay. They knew I was quality that is. Soon they all encouraged me to raise my prices higher and higher, as the demand wasn’t far enough down to allow me ample time with each of them. More left due to financial obligations but many stayed and the few still contact me ever so often.
I know that now the “there is money in pretending to be a Domme” rumor going about. This has caused a lot of stigma about Pro Domming equating to fake Domming. Understandably so, might I add. Most that take on this sort of attitude can not comprehend the psychology behind each fetish or do not understand the speific fetish at all. In fact most of theses sorts of Dommes label themselves as strict Financial Dommes. All they want is money and for
some submissives that is all they want to do; have their wallets drained. I see NOTHING wrong with this until you have people ( I say people because men even do this ) steal pictures and have submissives buy webcam or other such services they can not provide. All for the love of money. This is not domination but scamming; this is not BDSM but lying and is a horrible practice. Other scams such as “blackmail” fetish where they will actually hunt you down and destroy your life. FEW guys actually want this but for the most part no one does, its just a fantasy that gets you off. It is tales such as those that make me understand WHY many look down on Pro Dommes.
While with a free Domme you have honestly nothing to loose, I find that Pro Dommes * aka for Pay Dommes * often have pages where feedback of past experiences can be found! This means you can fact check before selecting the Domme as yours. Most Dommes on the internet, especially those on web cam, also can post verification that they are in fact who they say they are. Being as my philosophy is that time is money, you can see why I would think that rather than spending time on a free Domme who might not understand
your fetish you could find an experienced Domme who knows exactly what you might need.
The old adage goes: if you are good what you do, you don’t do it for free. I believe this holds true, but again to those who do charge I do not knock you. I caution though, for those who do not agree with my opinion, I do not care. I have been in the fetish/BDSM world for a while now and from my experience as well as the submissives I have had the pleasure of owning, its just so that simple.
