If you stop seeing someone because they cannot provide tribute to you then you are a prostitute.
I'm not a big fan of tribute seekers myself. But prostition involves sex. From what I understand these "Pros" don't have sex with their clients. If they do, and take money for it, then I would agree that they are prostitutes.
quote:
In my opinion, you are also a scum bag and deserve to be bitch slapped with a baseball bat just like all those people that take advantage of the elderly and mentally ill. You have become nothing more than an "uncommon" thief. NOTHING disgusts me more than selfish, one-way, masked BS like this. Talk it up all you want it's a lie and those promoting it are mental amoebas, in my opinion.
I used to feel this way too, with regard to both the tribute seekers who provide professional services, and also those in personal relationships in which one gives the other their money as a form of service. In some cases of course I do think that weak-minded individuals are being exploited. And I find that kind of sad for those who believe they cannot find love or fulfillment without paying for it. But what about those who do this willingly?
Let's say a sub male goes to a pro domme and pays her to get slapped around and degraded, all he did was purchase a service. And all she did was provide one in exchange for payment. As long as the client is a willing particpant who went out of his way to seek this service out, I can't see this as exploitation no matter what angle I look at it from. I personally wouldn't patronize a pro, nor would I choose that career path for myself, but if it floats their boats who are they hurting if both parties (client and pro) are happy with the arrangement?
As far as people who exist in relationships where one takes the other's money, and a weak-minded individual is being unwittingly victimized by someone less than ethical, I agree the baseball bat should fly. lol. On the other hand, someone might actually feel objectified when they go to work and hand over their money to their partner. And maybe objectification is their particular bent.
The fact that I don't think financial domination is prudent keeps me from being involved in it, but then a lot people might say that about breath play too, or about any of the stuff we do. Sure, there's some risk to this, but shouldn't it be up to the individual how much calculated risk they are willing to take in order to realize their desires?
Honestly, a while back I would have reacted just like you did, thinking only about the victims who are out there, but there are those who are doing this by choice for whatever their reasons.
And the implication on this thread that people who engage in this practice must be guilty of tax evasion is perhaps the greatest stereotypical judgment I've seen here yet.
