Thanks everyone, especially Annie. I'm not sure whether I would want to be in the submissive position, but there is something so electrifying with controlling money. I don't really feel money is necessary to life, but allowing someone to gift things to me is very nice (and as an individual, takes much stress off and makes me blush alot).
I don't think I'd want to abuse a D/s relationship, but I do think that there is an amazing power, an intense energy, that I feel, even just thinking about someone actually wanting to pay to see, let alone have me guide them in any level of things.
I doubt I could ever do it (as I'm way too embarrassed to ever have something like that listed as a bank transfer or cashing a check like that), but it still is a tantalizing fantasy. I think that maybe, at least for me, it's a psychological...well, not sadism, but I think that maybe the money is something that has more weight than a simple compliment, you know?
After having been in an abusive relationship (and pretty well being told that I wasn't attractive for most of my life), it's like the power of an unexpected first kiss with the girl of your dreams. It's that level of intensity.
