I will take your money!

Damn I missed my calling XD

Send all financial sacrifices to me in-world and I guarantee to treat you like the worthless worm you are by ignoring you, pathetic wretch! Your goddess has spoken!

Hmm, wonder if that will work?

For the submissive, the essence of the “turn on” in any form of D/s, is in in some sense giving in to the “power” of the Dominant. Since money is power, giving up real money (and Lindens translate into real $$) to a Domme, with “no strings attached”, is therefore a very real form of submission — there can be no doubt in the subs mind that he is being “used”, because he is, and this reinforces the perception of the Domme as “goddess”, as completely above the sub. She is everything, he is nothing. For some, this extreme extreme assymetry of power, along with genuine self-scacrifice for the betterment/pleasure of the goddess-figure, is an intense turn-on.

Tenchi, you say that these subs are “forking over thousands of Lindens for a Financial Domme’s services.” But this completely misses the point. The subs are *not* paying for services. Rather, the subs are *serving* the Domme, in part, or perhaps entirely, by giving the Domme money.

Contrast this with professional Dommes, who *are* paid for their services — the sub as a paying customer has a right to expect a “session” in return. Some subs cannot escape the reality that in the professional/client relationship, the client holds at least equal power and that the Domme is serving their needs, which ruins any sense of the Domme being superior, a goddess. Such subs need to genuinely serve their Domme, and such service begins with payment, or “tribute”, and the Domme is in no way obligated. She may use the sub in other ways if she wishes, or completely ignore him, but she has already used him, and he has served her, by means of the tribute. The submissive will become aroused, even to the point of orgasm (if permitted) simply by giving in to the Domme’s demands for money, gifts, or whatever.

“Stupid” is the wrong word. You note yourself that the subs go into this eyes-wide-open. “Weak” may be the correct term.

There is a worthwhile discussion to be had whether financial domination constitutes exploitation in somewhat the same way as a casino might exploit a gambling addict, or a dealer exploits a drug addict.

But on the other hand, there are many ways in which people are manipulated by their own sexual desires even though they know that they are being manipulated (i.e. no deception involved) and this is just one of those ways.

GENIUS.

Maybe it’s therapy thing. This article was nothing against Noor personally, just a roundabout view of the profession, if you will.

I’m hoping Noor will let me apprentice with her for an afternoon to check out how this whole thing works and make a better, more in-depth article. I have yet to officially inquire.
