i think that's a really interesting point, and reminds me of something Goddess Karen wrote in answer to a question in one of her groups recently, where she said that male subs tend to be driven by fetish rather than service. In that context the whole question of control is thrown wide open - if the Domme is merely giving the sub what he wants, who is really in control? That kind of reasoning actually led to one of my more spectacular falling outs with a Domme, but there is a fundamental issue about the nature of exploitative domination and how much of the fetish is mutually constructed fiction. In my view Mandy is quite right to say that to genuinely maintain control a Domme needs to think outside of the box and not to follow the (now) established mechanisms employed by countless online moneydommes. It's not just a coincident that those who are able to do this are the ones that rise above the plethora of clones that appear on the web every day. Needless to say, all the Dommes represented here fall into this category!
