ORIGINAL: LadyJeelys Short answer: I don't and wouldn't. First, because to me, selling something that is so much a part of my nature is like, well, hocking an arm or leg. Not only does it allow the sub a certain amount of control (he's paying in a society that links money with control---more specifically in a society in when men have traditionally held the purse strings), but it puts a part of me up for sale. And frankly, I don't want invest a big part of myself into someone I don't fundamentally respect, care for and want to spend time with---at which point I wouldn't want someone I respect, care for and want to spend time with to ever have the suspicion I was doing it for money. But that part is is just my own personal issue. Where I see a bigger problem, is that I've know too many subbies who've gone pro....and ended up feeling cheap afterwards. In my experience, proDomming doesn't work for guys who are "submissive", because what they seek actually entails a level of trust and commitment that isn't possible within a pro Domme relationship. Let's face it, as mentioned a proDomme can just decide not to take the check.....or when things get too intense he can just not pay anymore. Which, for a bunch of the guys I know, lead to frustration and a feeling that BDSM is somehow dirty and unfulfilling. Of course, its neither. So while, I have no problem with people making a buck.....but there are other options out there, even though a number of the sub guys I know ended up feeling it is the ONLY option. Why make the assumption these subs who pay would be guys you wouldn't fundamentally respect or want to spend time with? Many pros end up being good friends with their paying subs. I know one sub who loves to contribute to his domme and gives her $300 a mo. He serves her every week and they are good friends. She gives him what he could find no where else: A loyal and caring domme. They have been close for 6 years. And...making a sub pay for what he gets puts power in the hands of the Her, the pro-domme. She calls him and says: Show up at 1 pm Fri. He's all excited an trusts her to have something fun and exciting with him in mind. He has a commitment to her and she has one towards him. I have subs personally who serve only me. One of them I have known for 25 years! I know several others who have been loyal and faithful to their pro-domme for many years and seek to serve her well and not any other domme. Irish
