First of all, I apologize for the long time between responses to the thoughts that were provoked. I took them in, as I began to understand my personal philosophy on the topic.
I think I am finally beginning to understand my true interest in both the recreational and the truly d/s relationships. I define the recreational as those professionals who are paid for certain negotiated things, and the true d/s relationships as what is specifically outlined in most introductory material on the subject. The Master/Slave relationship that is personal and very protective.
The interest in the first is a bit on the narcissistic side. It could also be said that it is a matter of raising horribly low self-confidence. To give money just to speak to, to just have a picture of, or an online conversation with someone is so very intoxicating. Unhealthy, but so very intoxicating. I guess it's just a matter of not using that as an abusive method on someone who is addicted and who cannot safely manage their money. Discretion, discretion, discretion.
The true, real relationship is actually a matter of using my favorite thing of the Daddy/Dom, which allows me to give an "allowance" to a "little girl", or to pay a servant. To me, that makes absolute and perfect sense. It helps enhance the total experience, at least in my mind. Now, even if you have someone who does the accounts, I think that keeping that "tight ship" mentality still works. It allows a person to get accounts all in order, and keep a dom and his slave(s) relaxed and not worried.
