Thank you for your views, I do understand your opinions. I think there are a lot of people out there who only see the word "Financial" in financial domination, and not the domination aspect, so yes I agree that there are many people out there who will abuse trust and rip off submissives.
I have met a few people who I have enjoyed this type of play with though, for them the amounts didn't matter it was the power exchange part that was key.
I do think there are plenty of people out there who are fakes, and I always respect people who will openly say an activity is something they don't like - whatever that is. I can openly say though that I have had some very positive experiences which weren't fake or fraud, it is probably very difficult for people who don't enjoy it to understand but for me it has provided some great BDSM experiences. It does have a place, but like everything else only when two people agree on the boundaries and consent to all activities.
