ORIGINAL: Eldritchdancer Good day, forum readers. I had a conversation with a few friends this week and something they asked me was profound enough for me to ponder it. And, as I like to think with other people, I figured I'd post this to the Forums. I'm not posting this to the Ask a Mistress/Master area because it affects us as a whole, by perception. I ask that people not send flames, as this is a legitimate query from some folks who are relatively new and seeking answers. The question I was asked is: "If a Dominant, be they male or female, demands tribute to meet with them at all... how are they different from a prostitute/giggilo? In both cases you are giving something of value just for the pleasure of their company." That one threw me for a loop. I'd never thought of it that way, really, as I don't ask for tribute. I LOVE meeting new people. So, I thought I'd put it out to the forums to discuss, rationally, so I can show the thread to the questioners. Master Darkmoon P.S. As a side note, this is my 25th posting, so I lost my Vanilla Cone. lol (well, I thought I'd lose my cone) Dear Master Darkmoon, As with most subjects here, it is defined within the context of individual thinking. Some do, some don't, some will, some won't. What i find most interesting is the fact that not once in your OP, did you mention the exchange of anything sexual in nature for tribute. Yet like horses out of the gate, everyone's a whore and a prostitute, flashing flesh and body parts for that dastardly dinero, the root of all evil, (though some feel deeply it is a certain political party, pick one) ever tainting the human race's oh so innocent approach to satisfy their wanton desires. Poor submissives everywhere are viewed as pathetic little weaklings with absolutely no understanding as to what it is they do when offering a tribute, or letter, or rose, or cadillac to one whom they choose to do so. (a voluntary tribute defined as something given, done, or said to show gratitude, respect, honor, or praise) Do we all not offer tribute all day long to the Gods of our needs and desires? Want it? That'll be 5.99 plus tax. (a forced tribute) And yes, one could define corporate entities as the biggest whores around, but we enjoy them, work for them, and profit ourselves from them. Would that not make us just another whore in the big house? Why must we always find fault within the ranks, when they are beating at the door thrusting spears of judgement from without? What is it they say about a house divided? i know, i am not you, and you are not me, and sometimes we feel differently. There is no book of rules by which we must all abide, well, actually there might be depending on one's beliefs, but i won't even venture into that one, God forbid! We are a whole lot different, we are a whole lot the same, the same, the same, the same. Each and every relationship is unique unto itself, defined by the boundries or extentions of those involved, their needs and desires addressed within the parameters of said relationship. If it works, excellent! No matter the individual application which keeps such alive and thriving, be it tribute, denial of tribute, or simply letting a boy stand on your balcony, naked to the world, arms outstretched, shouting, "i'm kink of the world!". What does it really matter to me if they find this scenerio works for them? What does it matter if he chooses to give Her money, flowers, parfume, or a dozen eggs to do so? Unless he holds you at gunpoint to accompany him in such, forcing you to do the same, it does not change you one bit. "Oh but it reflects on the whole enchilada, some will say." In my journey as a submissive, i have seen things i have never imagined in my wildest dreams, the enchilada containing some ingredients which quite frankly shock me sometimes. But if it works for them, doesn't hurt those involved, and is not illegal, it is their enchilada to consume. i will not resort to simple name calling because from high atop my soap box, it is unexceptable to my oh so superior beliefs to allow such. Who said this was about sex? Does it have to be about sex? Why do we automatically apply it as money for sex? Simply because others say so? Simply because the word "whore" rolls so smoothly off the tongue and covers the bases nicely? Well, on behalf of all the Beautiful Ladies here, i do so apologize for the loose and misuse of nasty little labels which offend and pretend to solve the query. Some of you will recognize me from earlier posts concerning the fact that i am a boy of Dearest Mystress at MystressWorld. (i heard that groan, and i know who you are, doesn't matter) Mystress does require tribute, or tuition, or whatever one wants to call it, does help to weed out some players, and shows a boy is serious about his desire to learn. Frankly, i spend more at $tarbucks$ than Mystress requires to enroll under Her study program. Am i paying for sex? Hope not, because that's not why i am there, and not why i have been Her boy there for two years. There is a wonderful exchange of lesson subject between true need boys and the Glorious Dommes whom graciously share of Themselves with us. i am not being held at gunpoint to open my wallet, and i would like to think that i am intelligent enough to make decisions concerning my own needs and my own earned money. Fact of the matter is, i am offering freely for something which has enlightened and expanded my horizons, and in the course of, i have been privileged to have had some tremendous conversations with extremely intellectual Women, a much richer and better understanding for doing such. It is a goal at MystressWorld, that a Domme and boy will find that elusive connection, but it is never implied that i will pay for certain favors, when and if i should be fortunate enough to meet one of the Wonderful, Beautiful Women whom i have shared with there. Call these Women "whores"? <SLAP> Not on my watch! Simple is as simple does, simply. Rise above the mediocre and mundane "everything fits all" answer, expand your mind beyond it's limits of half empty applications, because the subject may just not be about what one thinks it is at all. Please don't define my love, adoration, devotion, or purpose by insulting those whom i find stunningly beautiful of mind and soul. With Love and Respect, chia* (the pet)
