WHAT IS FINDOM? A SUBMISSIVE MAN EXPLAINS THE FETISH
‘Findom is merely another form of escapism for people who struggle with everyday life in this bizarre cash and self-obsessed modern society,’ he says
Of all the sexual fetishes in the world, financial domination has perhaps one of the most glamourous images.
Findoms are sent money and lavished with expensive gifts by men who seemingly want next-to-nothing in return - it’s all about submitting to the dominant woman and relinquishing control.
Much like physical forms of BDSM, it’s this surrendering of power that is arousing. But in the majority of cases, the dominatrix (findom) and the submissive never meet - it's all done online.
Some financial domination (or findom) relationships consist of one-off payments, others are regimented regular transferals of money and some men even hand over passwords and total control of their bank accounts to a domme, asking her to devise a minimal budget too.
But what’s the attraction for the men?
We asked a self-proclaimed submissive to explain.
“The arousal factor comes from the thought of the findom invading the personal space that is your finances, people measure their self worth with their money.
“Financial domination scoops up this notion of human beings and weaponizes it as something kinky. It's intimacy, in a very capitalistic and masochistic way,” Steve explains.
