When I think of findom – I think of finanical control. Someone controlling a budget, permission to spend, adhering to rules and having my money controlled.
It appears that now, findom is akin to paid femdom but we just call it “findom” almost as a mirage to appear more noble in a sense. There is dominance involved, but can we really call relapsing to a pretty girls middle finger and midriff dominance? No shocker, those profiles with really attractive women and relapse inducing posts are making a sizable chunk of money.
When the exchange of money for often sexual attention and special focus (drains, sessions, calls, setting, fincucking humiliation) is done, its just one person sending money in exchange for an experience almost like a pro-domme session but online. Kinks are asked and the domme fulfills them and the dynamic is tailored such.
Sends are used as payment and not necessarily control.
An example I see that’s popular is a toxic girlfriend experience and on the opposite spectrum – a domme who “builds a man” and does a positive gfe while taking a lot of money from a guy while reinforcing that real men are submissive when its pretty close to one sided simping.
Im not complaining about the transactional nature and how the shift in findom has occurred, because let’s not lie – paid femdom is really fun and the version of findom where financial control is exerted is a lot more maintenance and time compared to pumping and gooning sessions.
And its not really anyone’s fault. Subs like to bust and edge and be tickled and dommes enjoy draining (who wouldn’t) while getting off.
My favorite version of “findom” or sub-branch is one where two people relate well (usually close in age). As someone who is born after 2000 – I’ve been in dynamics where its almost like friends / best friends (with calls, gaming, and other mutually fun activities done) on a lower budget. There usually isn’t a budget because its pretty much a femdom dynamic except sends are done on a purely volunteering basis and there is 0 expectation for sends. This type of dynamic is usually found on Discord servers and is actually somewhat common in people aged 18-25 because both subs and dommes are the same age and the purpose is mutual fun first and sends way after. With that being said, some of the dommes do get four digit sends at times.
All forms of dynamics are valid, but the shift is interesting to see, due to simple convenience and less effort on both sends to shift to paid femdom, add some texting, and call it findom.
