Dirty Sexy Money
February 16th,This is shaping up to be a great day. I slept a full eight hours, baked corn muffins for my coworkers, read a trashy Anita Blake novel, and walked around in the park with my coffee. Now I’m at the dungeon with new stockings and red lipstick. It’s the little things that enliven work on a Saturday.
Last night before bed, I sent off a preliminary “class” description for 2/25 at Conversio Virium, Columbia University’s BDSM discussion group:
Sex and money are a potent combination. From prostitution to financial domination, stripping to pornography, and mistresses to sugar daddies, the sex trade is rich with power, paradox and archetype. We’ll discuss venues for experimentation, risks and rewards — including how to indulge your fantasies without throwing away your partner, Columbia education, or a clean bill of health. Come talk about why money’s hot and how to play with it in roleplay and reality.
It’ll be very informal; I’d rather have a discussion than stand and talk, since I already have a blog for my egotism. I have tons of notes, some books and magazines to pass, and some hot story excerpts to read. I’ll also post a resource list online if people want to read more after the class.
If you can’t tell, I’m really excited. I think it will be such a kick to forget the moralizing, politics and daily grind to talk about the parts that get me hot!
I don’t like the line in the writeup about partners and education, but I wanted to make it sound accessible. Money isn’t all crime and sin. (Never fear, though, it can always be that for you.)

This sounds delightful

Financial domination? When I first saw the words in your blurb I thought you were talking about classic old-school domestic relationships. But no! OMG! Not every day I get to discover a brand-new-to-me fetish!
I’m still Googling around trying to track down what’s actually involved — a fair number of dominatrixes (sp?) seem to offer it but no clear explanation yet.
Of course I suppose it could just be so obvious no explanation’s needed.
Just one more of many reasons I’m glad you’re blogging, Calico.

Hi Calico,
Did my last comment get spam filtered? If is eh, it happens a lot since my real URL just sets those things off like crazy.

Figleaf - Whoa, it did. That’s never happened before — sorry about that!
New to you? Crazy talk. To balance out what you’re finding on pro-dom sites, I recommend Bitchy Jones: “Paying My Due“, and “And everything would have worked out fine if I didn’t kink so hard for paying a man for sex”. I think she’s written a couple other things on it too.

And if we’re keeping it in the pro world, try this thread on Maxfisch, a pro and client oriented messageboard.

Oh, you win! I haven’t been to a CV meeting all year, but with a hook like that, how can I refuse?

It was really weird for me last night when you said that I could mention bootblack tips. I was like wait, that’s totally different. Or something.
