$100/month vs the $500 send
I recently chatted with someone who had been turned away because of his budget.
For me, it’s the psychology of the kink. And psychology doesn’t care about the amount, it’s cares about the weight, the impact. $100 from someone who manages his monthly budget carefully so he can send, carries the exact same erotic weight for him as the $500 from someone who doesn’t have to pay as close attention to his budget.
When the person on a budget skips something for himself so he can send it to you instead, he’s saying something important about his kink and about you.
So is the person who can pay for $500 car payment. Both are real. Both deserve a dominant who understands what control she wields.
Treating someone like their kink isn’t worth our time because the number is smaller doesn’t support what findom actually is. And it leaves good subs in the hands of dommes who don’t deserve them.
What I offered this particular person was curation. A small ritual, an ongoing experience that didn’t cost me much time at all, but gave him someplace real to serve from. That’s what this is supposed to feel like.
For those of you who’ve been dismissed, your thoughtful management of what you can afford is not a disqualification. It’s good information. It tells us something about who you are.
A dominant who meets you where you are now will be the dominant you choose to grow with.
