I have also found that there are numerous "do-me" subs who are only out there to get their kinks satisfied. I do not like wasting my time on no-shows or non-serious subs.
As part of my detailed application process, I ask them to pick out something from my online Wishlist. However, I am very aware that not all subs are made of money, so I chose several items that they could do for me that did not cost them any money, such as:
- Writing me an original poem
- Writing an essay for me on a topic of my choice
or another possibility that does not benefit me directly:
- Any donation to a recognized Women's Crisis Shelter
- Making a tax-deductible donation to one of my favorite charities (such as the War Amps of Canada, Heifer.org, or a Tsunami Relief Organization such as the Red Cross, Unicef, Oxfam, etc.) All they have to do is show/email me the receipt.
I like to see that they are serious in their intent and that they have the potential of caring and doing good for others.
When my subs come to visit me, particularly if we are going to play (versus just a service-oriented or housecleaning visit) -- I like it if they come with a small token for my time... much as men do on an important or romantic date. It might be as simple as a single flower, a favorite magazine, a box of my favorite Twinings Teas or a tin of my favorite French Vanilla Cappucino. It is the show of thought that went into obtaining such as token, and it means that they spent the time thinking of me while they were doing it. And of course, everytime they come across that same item, their thoughts will automatically turn to their lovely Mistress Jade! <very wicked grin>
As to expecting a tribute, particularly of money, just to be able to talk to a particular Domme -- it reeks somewhat of a Pro-Domme, but even then I know of many Pro-Dommes who do not charge simply to have a brief phone conversation with a potential client in order to clarify their terms, etc.
I would suggest caution if you are approached by such a Domme, or if they ask for such terms when you approach them. Or, to see if they are simply doing to "narrow down" the field, if there is any "non-material" tribute that you can offer - such as an essay or poem.
Just my 2ยข worth...
