As I promised, I think itâs a good idea to have some information âout thereâ to help you guys who are stuck in the findom rut of addiction.
Financial domination is NOT something you want to play with if you have an addictive personality. Many men have lost everything, their life savings, their families and in some cases have become homeless all for a stroke of the cock. And yes I know that sentence, for many of you, will actually turn you on.
Let me first say that if youâre looking for a magical pill that will take your compulsions away – there isnât one. If there was we could eradicate all addictions. Getting rid of your need to play in the financial domination world is going to require soul searching and behavior modification. Two things most of us canât stand. However if youâre serious you CAN kick the financial domination monkey on your back, to the curb.
As with any addiction, the first thing you have to do is WANT to quit. And when I say, âwant to quit,â I mean really want to quit. Not some casual, âI really need to stop this,â or your attempt will fail miserably and will only fuel your self-loathing because youâll most likely go back to your old behavior and spend even more. And I know youâve already done this many times so you know what Iâm talking about.
All addictions boil down to the same thing, behavioral patterns. Once you remove the chemical dependency, so say for example you have a heroin addiction, once the chemical dependency is gone, which isnât that long, you face the battle of dealing with your behavioral thoughts and patterns and these are the real demons. If they werenât the problem youâd be able to kick an addiction as soon as the chemical leaves your body.
But what about financial domination, since thereâs no chemical youâre sniffing or shooting shouldnât it be easy to kick? Well, yes and no. The thing is you ARE fighting a chemical addiction and thatâs to DOPAMINE!! Every time you engage in sending a broad money you get your dopamine fix. Whatâs dopamine? Itâs a neurotransmitter that gives you PLEASURE!!! The problem is you canât rid yourself of dopamine. But you can rid yourself of the reasons you need it and then find it in another more positive way.
If addictions didnât feel good we would never get them. Whether itâs smoking, eating, drinking, drugs, sex, masturbation or any compulsive disorder what youâre really doing is looking to feel good. And the act of engaging in your addiction gives you that dopamine rush combined, in some cases, with yet another chemical such as meth for example.
But the real question that you need to ask yourself is why? Why am I seeking this? What am I distracting myself from?
Addictions are distractions. We use them to deal with thoughts and feelings we donât like as a temporary way to feel good. The problem is after the high, you feel like shit. Why? Because it didnât take the problem you were distracting yourself from away. It only took it away for the time you were engaging in your addictive behavior. So when you arenât engaging in it, you feel the need to because youâre faced with whatever it is youâre trying to escape from.
This explanation of addiction is a very simplified analogy of how it works but you donât need to become an addiction specialist to understand the main points of your issue. When you engage in addictive behavior you are running from negative thoughts, memories, beliefs or patterns of thought.
So the first step in dealing with a financial domination addiction is to take responsibility for your behavior. That means you admit that no one held a gun to your head and made you get in touch with a financial dominatrix to give her hundreds if not thousands of dollars. She did not seek you out, you sought her out once you tripped over the kink and thought it would be hot. How do I know this? Because these women never knew you existed until you knocked on their door. Oh maybe they did some advertising but itâs a business and thatâs what advertising is for. You succumbed to the advertising. Just like someone who saw that new tool on T.V. at 3 am that would change their lives forever. You know full well that the tool will just sit in your garage unused but the advertisers made it look like you could build yourself a new house in an afternoon with that handy little tool so you just HAD TO HAVE IT! But did that advertiser MAKE you buy it? No you could have changed the channel as many people do. Itâs the same with findom.
STEP ONE â Take responsibility for your actions and stop blaming the women who do this for a living. Or blaming your mom for not holding you enough. Or blaming the government for the earth being flat. STOP! You did this, no one else. You are an adult with free will and free will can be a bitch.
So now youâve admitted that you were the one that sought out financial domination. Great! That is a big step because itâs easier to blame than to take responsibility. Congrats.
Now what?
Well now you need to do something just as hard as taking responsibility and that is, asking yourself the question why. Why am I doing this? What am I avoiding?
That can be a tricky bitch of a question too. You see many times itâs not just financial domination youâve been addicted to. You may have landed on findom after many other distracting addictions, porn being one of them. So you may have to go back further than your findom addictive habits. Regardless, you need to keep peeling that onion to see what it is youâre distracting yourself from and itâs usually negative thoughts or beliefs about yourself.
You might be thinking what does it matter what I think about myself when Iâm sending money and jerkinâ my gherkin? Because people who are confident and know themselves donât engage in this type of behavior.
I canât tell you why youâre doing this because it will be different for every single individual. But for the most part it comes from low self-esteem. Youâre doing this because you are pushing away nasty shit in your head. But unless you deal with that shit you will just bounce from one negative addiction to another.
You can do this on your own or you can seek out the help of a reputable therapist to help you peel those negative layers and learn how to deal with them so you can move on with your life.
I will say, doing it on your own is not easy but I get it if youâre broke and canât afford a therapist because you gave your paycheck away, if youâre lucky enough to get a paycheck. But it CAN be done on your own. You just need to be completely honest with yourself and want to do the work to kick this habit.
So just know that if you want to completely get rid of your addictive behavior you MUST address why youâre engaging in findom to begin with. And you need to dig further than, because it feels good.
We are bombarded with negative thoughts all day long. Everyone does it. There are very few people walking this Earth who donât hate themselves in one form or another and all for differing reasons. These are the thoughts or mind squirrels as I call them, that you need to work on. I would suggest you listen to my show on ways you can get rid of negative thoughts.
STEP TWO â Ask yourself WHY am I doing this? What am I avoiding? And work on dealing with those issues.
Hereâs the rub though. Most people with addictions have addictive behavior patterns period. What I mean by that is, if you werenât addicted to financial domination youâd probably have something else youâd be addicted to. Remember me telling you this is probably not the only thing youâve been compulsive about in your life. In other words, you probably have addictive behavior patterns from a life of constantly avoiding your negative thoughts. So if you look back on your life you may notice that you have been addicted to other things besides just financial domination.
For many being an addict means being an addict of almost anything. If it wasnât financial domination it would have been something else. But instead of looking at this as a negative and thinking, whatâs the point if Iâm doomed to be an addict, you can actually use your addictive personality to your advantage by replacing your negative addictive behavior with a positive one.
So if you really donât want to do the inner work you need to do and I know most of you donât then you can use your addictive personality to find something else you can put your focus on besides findom but the key is it should be something that is just as pleasurable or something that will give you that same dopamine rush. That means finding a habit that you can throw yourself into that is more positive than your findom addiction and I donât mean switching to gooning or something else within the sex realm. You need to look outside of sex for other ways to engage yourself.
That again, means you need to soul search and look for other things to put your focus on. If youâve always wanted to learn something new, now is the time to do that. I donât care what it is as long as itâs a positive thing to put your focus on. Hobbies, sports, games, exercise or even religion are just a few of what you can look into to start pulling yourself away from findom. Again, itâs based on your interests what you choose to move yourself towards but the point is to move your focus away from financial domination and on to something that is just as enjoyable and believe or not there are things just as fun.
STEP THREE â Replace a negative behavior with a positive one.
When you look at most 12 step programs youâll find this is what they do. You take responsibility, you make amends (and Iâm not even making you do that but if youâre married you SHOULD come clean and use that to keep you on the straight and narrow), you work on why youâre doing the behavior in the first place and in many cases they teach you to replace the behavior with a more positive one.
The only really hard part in all of this is doing the inner work and looking at those scary, negative thoughts youâve been trying to drown with distraction, but itâs also the only real way to conquer and obliterate your addiction to financial domination or anything else for that matter. You can sidestep the work slightly as I mentioned above but you run the risk of relapse far more so than if you do the inner work.
It takes courage to face your fears and personal negative thoughts but the reward of shooting your squirrels and getting your life back under YOUR control is far worth the effort itâll take. You can do this! As a matter of fact you could turn your addiction to giving money to bimboâs who donât give a rats ass about you into an opposite addiction of saving money. Doesnât have the stroke value but you didnât have findom before you found it and you got off just fine. So donât use that as an excuse. You got this!

I’ve been addicted to findom for a number of years now. it’s grown rampant in the last few months though.. I’ve been spending almost $1000 a week and I cannot stop. I tried deleting every app I have and even not using my phone (that lasted about a week) and I was back to my regular habits.
I really wish I could kick this habit once and for all.
I sincerely need help
Hi Dr Sue
i guess im not ready yet. Feel so consume by these urges. Guess porn drives me too and i do not even realize it but find myself clicking away when i am alone. I think humiliation might drive it too but im not sure. I luv drinking on cam and being used. Once i start a light switch goes on and i crave more. My favorite is being seduced, getting sloppy drunk, used and taken to the cleaners. My wires are so crossed and not sure i can stop. It started small at first and i wonder when it took on a life of is own. Now i see myself possibly going to down 2 seperate rabbit holes. The findom one and i keep spending thousands feeds my urges and the other i feel is in its infancy stages as my wife starts to discover her wings playing. Just writing this triggers me to just want to give in and let go. i know i am fully reaponsible. and accept this as i crave to go in debr further
thank you for these articles and listening
gweggy
Yes, I struggle. I go in waves. Nothing for a couple of months then I’m back doing it again.I’ve spent thousands too. It’s insane but it feels so good.
The comment you made about low self esteem really resonates with me. Iâve been fairly good at keeping it under 600 /month for the past few years. But recently made a major life change and have been spending way more. For me though itâs more real women i know in my life⊠i get a Venmo or cash app demand and i try to delete it, ignore it but then it just eats at meâŠ
Sorry to hear about that Patrick.
Iâve been dealing with this for a few years now, but I do think it all started from watching porn at an early age, and not approaching girls when I was younger, I was very shy. Porn was really my escape. Now itâs snowballed into this, which is getting wayyy out of hand
Hey. Also a struggling addict. If anyone wants to talk or start a group.
Hi Sean Iâm struggling too Itâs ruining my life
My mum is too blame ,I described what she did to me when I was a prepubescent child and a psychiatrist said that was plain sexual abuse.
My first sexual fantasies did involve women being exploitative/abusive.and I would push myself into these thoughts to escape the feelings of being unsafe and worthless that the abuse then neglect from my mum created whilst growing up.
I’ve struggled with findom, managed to stay away from it.but I basically have full psychological sexual dysfunction.i simply don’t get off.
Why can’t we sometimes get angry at women ?
Suppressed ” healthy rage” (as Gabor mate describes it) is incredibly toxic to the mind-body system.its right I feel angry at my mum.
Findoms are annoying too.there I said it.
You have every right to feel any way you feel. Just don’t act on it or be violent. Not every woman is an asshole or like your mother. But from the sounds of it, your mother set the stage for you to feel the way you do. I’d center your rage on her. I’m sorry you were dealt that hand.
How can I join this group chat. I need help as I have started to give in more the past few months but I want too get out before it is too late
Hi Sean! I can relate to that. I think I am similar. I also feel the compulsion to relapse when stressed about life or feeling lonely or even overcome with boredom. Hope we can help each other improve.
This is a great article. I have battle findom addiction for years and one of the biggest problems is that I have had some of my most intense and expensive orgasams with findom addiction.
I have looked for a female led relationship where she could put me in chastity and control me .. I believe this is my only cure. I have many talents and am successful but would be more so I feel if this addiction was not in my life.
Finding a relationship like this has been impossible for me.
I seriously donât know what to do..
Frank
Agree. However I am not sure if I had this really strong drive if I wouldn’t be into Financial Domination.. But its tough.
Iâm not sure iâm ready to quit. Feel like just got started even though i have spent thousands. Confused and just want to let go in more ways than one.
Please forgive me
gweggy
Nothing to forgive Gweggy. When you’re ready, you’ll know.
HI Frank – I can relate to the intense orgasms that fantasy has brought me – but the reality was elusive
Just something to think about it – some people – including PRO DOMS and KINK EDUCATORS now look back and believe Kink IS abuse – it creates a Stockholm syndrome, an addictive reinsuring Trauma Bond (even if they call it play – the abuse and aftercare get people HOOKED).
This may sound like a 180 – but could it be possible that feeling inferior or submissive is a repetition compulsion of a trauma response and you are attracted to REAL LIFE narcissists, abusers, sociopaths, psychopaths vs a “safe sane consensual healthy Domme?”
Some people who have done healing work reported that their kink desires either went away completely or significantly diminished – some have gave up kink porn and focused on embodied sex vs fantasy – perhaps it’s worth exploring on your end – perhaps the “fantasy” you are projecting on these domme’s doesn’t really exist and there is no “healthy” way to get this need met. Thoughts?
