Deep dives
Understanding Financial Domination (FINDOM)
Financial domination, or FINDOM, is a unique form of BDSM where a submissive, typically a man, willingly gives money or control over their finances to a dominant partner, usually a woman, without expecting any return. This dynamic often involves elements of humiliation and relinquishing power, providing the submissive with a sense of relief from their daily responsibilities. The financial transaction itself becomes the kink, paralleling other forms of domination and submission in its psychological appeal. Many find the act of spending money to be a pleasurable experience, intertwining aspects of control and the thrill of power dynamics.
