ORIGINAL: slaverosebeauty Personally, I think tributes are bs and should be illegal, unless its in the Pro [aka in person arena], its a way to get something for nothing or to extort money. Heck, if a slave asked for a tribute they would be laughed at or worse, yet, slaves do MORE work than most dommes. I would LOVE to get money from all those wankers who have IM'd me over the years telling me to get on my knees, {rofl}; yet, I am a person who earns money the old-fashion way, I go to work {in an office}, I support myself AND my child; and if God willing, the Universe, the Fates and Desinty agree, I will get remarried and not have to work outside of the home, yet, I will do MORE work being a stay at home mom/slave than most who work outside of the home, PLUS, I won't get paid in money, but instead,I will recieve love, devotion, admiration, loyality and 'fun' with my partner. I do intend on running my website in my spare time and on the side, and yes, I will be making money from that, yet I will NOT be getting a 'tribute,' I will be making HONEST money; no one will be GIVING me money, I will be EARNING IT {gasp, new concept, earning money by honest means}. Whats so hard about WORKING for money? Its it just laziness that some dommes won't work?? or is it that they think they are TOO GOOD to work and earn an honest living like everyone else? Sorry to tell ya ladies, but a REAL lady does NOT ask for tributes, a REAL lady earns her OWN money. If she wants something she works for it, she doesn't ask for 'tributes' to get it or for a tribute of 'xyz' instead of being an adult and working until she can get it herself. Its those who seek tributes form others, that give a decent number of ladies both tops and bottoms a bad name as to ONLY being after money. Besides, I thought that financial slavery aka tributing was against TOS on here?? How can you equate a tribute with financial slavery, if you have read the whole thread. Many Dominas replied that the tribute could be something small, even a postcard. Yet here you are, ignoring all of that and saying tributes should be illegal, worse still, you accuse anyone of asking for one of not being a lady ? You go on to suggest everyone should work for their money, have you not read the posts explaining the time and effort both setting up web sites and running them. i have nothing against people having their own views but at least the should have read and understood the whole thread first. edited for spelling My thoughts exactly. I have to admit that I used to think Pro Dommes were only in it for the money. After a long, exhausting and fruitless search for a submissive (and prodding from friends), I changed my mind. I can even tell you the exact date I made the decision to go Pro. I took on a new submissive. He had very little experience and, of course, no toys of any kind. I had a few sessions with him, teaching him as we went. I even loaned him books to read (that I'll never see again). Then the big step- a private party. It was a GREAT party and I was thrilled that he had such a great experience so soon in his learning process. The next day *poof* he disappeared. Wouldn't return phone calls, emails, nothing. After that, I decided that if I was going to spend that much time and effort on someone, I might as well be compensated for it. No, I'm not bitter. In fact, I should probably thank that submissive for teaching me an important lesson. My tribute is below most professionals in this area, but I enjoy what I do and I'm happy with what I earn. And yes, EARN. I have a dungeon to equip and clean, fetish wear to buy, etc., etc. I keep a very clean dungeon, so the cost of cleaning supplies alone is something I need to be compensated for. 99.9% of the subs that show up want something very specific and as long as I enjoy it as well, he gets exactly what he wants. AND.....I supply absolutely everything we need. Have you priced equipment lately? Ok, I'm done. I tried to stay out of this, but I just couldn't do it after that post. Everyone has their limits. LOL Mistress Scarlet
