Introduction

Financial domination involves the payment of cash or gifts from a wish list by a money slave to a money mistress, financial dominatrix, or findomme. Boundaries for findommes working through webcam and video-call services may be more fluid than via text-based modes since the domme engages in more visible displays, and modification of language, voice, and feelings to fulfil the fantasy for a client. We explore the nature of findomme work and its relationship to BDSM to understand how the interaction progresses and how the boundaries, of reasonable and permissible behaviour which affect both incoming and outgoing interactions between people, are maintained.

Methods

The study was in two stages. The first stage was a survey of online findommes (n = 56) in UK and the USA. For the second stage, we explored the experience of findommes (n = 195) on money-slavery websites and social media feeds using netnography as an observation method with cisgender male, female, and transgender participants.

Results

Our analysis reveals how findomme interaction progresses from text-based interaction to virtual face-to-face and voice communication. We show financial domination to be on a continuum from being a lifestyle choice in the BDSM community that reaps financial benefits to a purely economic and legitimate form of commercial labour. Although financial domination clearly elicits sexual arousal for clients, the relationship can also be exclusively psychological and focus on the relinquishing of control to a money mistress for a prescribed period.

Conclusion

The findings also show how personal boundaries are negotiated and enhance understanding of how the microculture of findomming interacts with other microcultures. By demystifying the process of financial domination, we clarify its relationship with other microcultures and add to the growing body of literature that destigmatizes consensual erotic labour.

Implications

These findings show how online support, in a decriminalised environment, enabled new and ‘instadommes’ to set and maintain healthy boundaries for enhanced physical and psychological well-being, and the research provides valuable insight into sex work that is safely carried out in online spaces by a large number of participants so adding to the growing body of work on decriminalization.

Findommes、网络中介性工作和冲洗

介绍

金融支配包括金钱奴隶从愿望清单中向金钱情妇、金融支配者或findomme支付现金或礼物。findommes 通过网络摄像头和视频通话服务工作的边界可能比通过基于文本的模式更流畅，因为domme 参与更可见的显示，并修改语言、语音和感觉来满足客户的幻想。我们探索 findomme 工作的性质及其与 BDSM 的关系，以了解互动如何进行，以及如何维持影响人们之间传入和传出互动的合理和允许行为的界限。

方法

该研究分为两个阶段。第一阶段是对 英国和美国的在线 findommes ( n = 56) 的调查。 在第二阶段，我们使用网络图作为观察方法，对顺性别男性、女性和跨性别参与者在金钱奴役网站和社交媒体提要上探索 findommes ( n = 195) 的体验。

结果

我们的分析揭示了 findomme 交互如何从基于文本的交互发展到虚拟面对面和语音通信。我们表明，金融统治是一个连续统一体，从成为 BDSM 社区的生活方式选择，获得经济利益，到纯粹的经济和合法形式的商业劳动。尽管财务支配显然会引起客户的性唤起，但这种关系也可能完全是心理上的，并且专注于在规定的时期内将控制权交给金钱情妇。

结论

研究结果还显示了个人界限是如何被协商的，并增强了对 findomming 的微文化如何与其他微文化相互作用的理解。通过揭开金融统治过程的神秘面纱，我们阐明了它与其他微观文化的关系，并增加了越来越多的文献，这些文献对自愿色情劳动进行了诋毁。

影响

这些发现表明，在线支持在非刑事化环境中如何使新的和“instadommes”能够设定和维持健康的界限，以增强身心健康，并且该研究为在在线空间安全进行的性工作提供了宝贵的见解参与人数众多，因此增加了越来越多的非刑事化工作。
