We strive on keeping Findomme
what it is, and not what some
others have taken and ruined.

MAMI: And this is where it gets
deeper. TOM which stands for
Tax-O-Meter is a Financial Domme system that myself and two
other friends created together
for a reason. We were visiting another Findomme area and didnt
quite agree with what they stood
for. It was being run more like
a an escort establishment and
didnt stand for what many of us
call Findomme. So, that’s when I
spoke with a friend, who is also in
the lifestyle, as well a scripter here
in SL and another friend, Mija
Perfferle, a 3d Mesh artist here in
Second life and owns D&B (Deviant & Bizarre) which specializes in
a variety of very interactive items
such as cages and many toys. We
all came together and put in play
, a lot of ideas for a new and much
more advanced findomme system in SL. We also strive on keeping findomme what it is and not
what some others have taken and
ruined.

NVM: What is Findomme and
what does this Tax-O-Meter system do for the BDSM community?
MAMI: Findomme is power exchange and the Tax-o-meter system helps bring the real life fetish
alive in second life as it is a very
interactive system.
NVM: So this is a BDSM thing and
deals with tips? Is it like, tipping
for sex? Or is there something
more to it? Deeper perhaps?
MAMI: BDSM does have some
play in this but this is what is
called Financial Domination, Let
me explain a little...
To have the fetish of being financially controlled by a powerful
Domme, is in some ways similar
to having a pantyhose or foot fetish; it’s just that the object of the
fetish is money instead of feet,
or an article of clothing. The in-

dividuals who participate in the
fetish usually get excitement and
in cases even arousal out of their
fetish play. Just as is the case in
a number of other sexual fetishes.
In cases of Financial Domination
this excitement usually occurs
when the slave gives money to
the Owner; feeling powerless under Her control. In most cases the
man will get an intense rush of
excitement both when thinking
of giving money to a Domme and
when he gives Tributes. This excitement can last even past that
point, many days after engaging
in this fetish.
I say She and he, because usually
the giver is a male, the receiver is
a Female. While there are cases
of Male Dominants participating
in the fetish; it is extremely rare.
Just like foot fetishes the Financial
Domination Fetish is one where
Females are usually considered
superior; thus you would rarely
find a woman serving a man in
this manner.
The payment given is called a
Tribute; and can be anywhere
from around fifty dollars when
strangers first meet, to several
