Nomasks started an interesting thread on the state of findom, especially from online mistresses who demand a tribute before they will even acknowledge you (I often wonder if they are imposters).

But want about findom as a power multiplier in session?

I have done scenarios where I deliver lunch to my Mistress, just like Doordash. She'll take it, and instead of a thank you she spits in my face. I then wait patiently on the ground while she enjoys her meal. She'll occasionally spit some partially chewed mouthfuls out on the floor. I have to pay here $30 to eat them off the floor. So I paid for her lunch, then I have to pay more to eat some of it that she spits on the floor. Handing her the $30 is a real multiplier for me.

A long time ago I was involved in a FTT relationship, although I never knew when I arrived at the session if the Mistress was going to use me as her toilet that day. Occasionally, mid session, she would announce that she needed to take a shit.

I knew that I then had to go to my wallet and pull out $100, because my Mistress wanted to shit in my mouth, which required an additional tribute.

Handing her the $100 was really powerful.

I believe this type of setup can be fun and erotic and add to the enjoyment of the session.

I have taken a similar approach in sessions as well. In your situations it sounds like you took a session tribute and turned into part of the play. It makes it more exciting and way different than what we see on social media. There was some exchange of value

Just my 2 cents

I sort of built the tip into a findom scene. At the end of the session I would ask the Mistress if I could kiss her ass as a ceremony affirming her superiority over me. Of course, the inferior should pay a tribute to the superior as part of the ceremony.

I really don't think they minded at all that they got their tip under that scenario.

That sounds like a really fun session! Before the Twitter Internet FinDom takeover I used to have quite a few finsubs. With one in particular, I would make sure to have all My bills on paper before the session, take the credit card right out of their wallet and pay the bills over the phone while they were tied up, begging Me to spend more. Endlessly entertaining, and got the bills paid too!
