First Tributes

First Tributes

To me a first tribute is a very personal matter, in all my years I have never demanded a "set" amount for many reasons which I will try to outline now. Firstly I find it is an insult to ask a Mistress or Domme "how much should I send?", I think the question is impertinent, everyone views art or media through their own eyes and forms their own opinion on how it makes them feel. You may get lost in the vision that is Sunflowers by Van Gogh yet the person next to you may exclaim their child could paint it just as well. The same can be said about the way you view your favourite Domme/Mistress, beauty is and always has been in the eye of the beholder, and nobody should be able to attach a price tag to it. You may want to send every last penny you have available in your account to satisfy the desire of said Dommes needs want to be owned by her for and worship her for life, however the next sub may only send a token gift voucher to appreciate her work or a particular post or set of photographs. Neither approaches are wrong just different because the subs have very different feelings.
I can only speak for myself but I will always appreciate any form of tribute large or small, because it means that a sub has taken time to send whether that leads to further interaction remains to be seen. Lets also not forget that everyone has very different financial burdens and although £50 is chump change to someone on a large salary, to some of the younger new student age subs this is a large tribute, they may not be able to afford basic contract costs, and some leeway can to be given, providing they are willing to make up for it in other ways.
The initial tribute also proves your intentions, seriousness, allays any worries of time wasting, I am sure so many subs constantly come up against a constant wall of "don't speak to me unless you tribute", "don't message me til you tribute", I am not quite so severe only because after all these years I find its easy to work out within a few minutes who is going to pay and who isn't. When you have a lot of subs to look after you simply can't waste your precious time on subs looking for free wank material, that is what google is for, not my inbox. But the tribute also proves respect, loyalty and honesty and without these it is impossible for any D/s relationship to blossom. Without these pillars to build upon it will simply sink without a trace quickly.
On average my first tributes range from £40 to £600, except for the odd crazy few of £1500+, these are not inflated they are true figures and show the range of different finsubs I cater too I guess. I am talker and very old school, I like to know what makes you tick, what excites you, and have basic Q&A I like to ask all potential subs, if you get to the stage where I have asked you this, then make no mistake I expect when you answer the questions that a tribute is attached to it. Those who are full of excuses and "dates" but I get paid on etc etc will just be blocked, if you don't get paid til the 5th of the month DO NOT CONTACT ME til the 5th of the month. No finsub/paypig should EVER contact ANY Domme without some means of being able to tribute, it is extremely ignorant disrespectful and in some respects dishonest. You are advertising yourself as something you cannot fulfill.
