🔑 1. Consent is required (non-negotiable)
* Everything must be fully consensual
* The submissive must be able to say no or stop at any time
* No pressure, guilt, or coercion
👉 If consent is missing, it’s no longer findom—it becomes exploitation.
* Payments (“tributes,” “gifts,” etc.) are voluntary acts of submission
* No forced payments or threats
* Subs should never be pushed beyond what they can afford
Ethical standard in modern findom spaces:
The sub’s financial safety comes first, always.
🧠 3. Clear boundaries must be set
* Limits (how much, how often)
* What is expected (if anything)
Without this, dynamics break down quickly or become unsafe.
🔒 4. No real-life financial harm
Ethical findom guidance consistently says:
* Never damage someone’s ability to pay rent, bills, food, etc.
* No encouraging debt or financial collapse
* No “all your money belongs to me” demands in a literal sense
* No sharing personal info (addresses, legal names, etc.)
* No doxxing or public exposure
* No stalking or harassment
⚠️ 6. Platform rules matter
* Direct solicitation of payments in certain formats
* Manipulative or coercive financial language
* Off-platform payment pressure (depends on site rules)
🧩 7. Power dynamic is psychological, not literal control
Even though it feels like “financial control,” ethically:
* The sub still has full control over their money in reality
* The dynamic is based on roleplay + consented exchange of power
