To me I really look at the textbook definition that tribute means a recognition of effort & achievement.

All these sites have jumped into banning a word that literally stands for appreciation like it's gotta be pay for attention type transactional, but that's against how findommes actually work.

So, tribute = showing awareness & honoring hard work. Like, the kind needed to be a goddess.

So when a sub sends tribute to a baddie it's because HOPEFULLY they see all that she is and has become.

The least a sub can do is bring value upfront and recognize a goddesses own effort as the very first thing.

To me there's no way you can worship someone and not tribute their achievement and abilities that you adore.

In vanilla that's called words of affirmation plus seen in almost every situation w/ acts of love.

In findom it's simply always monetary. You know, the way that our society functions which enables the greatest exchange of value and power. Money.

It's really just perspective.

Guys have been doing so with their dating prospects since caveman times. Along the way it morphed from bringing food or firewood to things like buying drinks or bringing flowers.

Now, in this era we have a niche that puts a number to that first recognition of value & appreciation. Less than a dommes initial tribute is fine, but not going to show you're serious.

When a sub tributes correctly you can assume they have your value in mind - which is especially important to women, as we all can see how men usually approach us only thinking of themselves these days.

But I'm curious do we tend to think of tribute as a consultation fee or sexual submission instead of proving recognition and appreciation?
