How to balance interactions and tributes during online D/s plays?
I'm a sub, somewhat of a newbie, and into soft, sensual Femdom (but not findom). Late last year, I came out of a long-term (online) ownership arrangement. My Domme was absolutely amazing (we still communicate and I send her tributes every once in a while) but she had become overwhelmed with family obligations and eventually decided to release me. I took a few months off to clear my head, but then decided to give it another shot.
In the past couple of months, I've been doing daily sessions (in the form of D/s GFEs) working with different Dommes online to see how we vibe and if I can find a good match. Even though I always clarify that I'm not into findom, I feel that most interactions have gradually gone in that direction. I admit I really enjoy sending tributes (especially when unexpected) to make my Domme happy, but I do want it to be part of the D/s play and be accompanied by interactions or creative tasks. However, in most cases, I've been asked to keep sending for different things (shoes, pedicure, dinner, etc.) with little to no interactions in between.
Being somewhat new to this, I wanted to ask this community for some advice:
Am I correct in assuming that general Femdom experiences should have a balance between tributes and interactions? Or is it normal for online D/s to be heavily tribute-based?
And if it's reasonable to expect more interactions and tasks, how can I convey this to my Domme during the play without ruining the mood?
