Findom 101: getting started

A clear, honest primer on what financial domination is, and what it isn't.

A plain-English introduction for anyone new to the term.

What it is

Financial domination (findom) is a dynamic in which giving money or gifts is itself the point of the interaction, within a consensual power exchange.

What it isn’t

It isn’t a get-rich scheme, and it isn’t a substitute for consent, boundaries or basic safety. The healthiest dynamics are explicit and mutual.

Where to start

Define your persona, your limits, and your platform before you post. The rest is consistency.
