I (20M) am addicted to financial domination (findom) -AMA
I realize my situation doesn’t exactly qualify as “porn addiction”, but my behavior is similar in that it is compulsive and tied to masturbation. Being a pay pig is my porn.
For context, >80% my spending has been in the last 4-5 months, but I was exposed to, and participated in, findom as a minor (16). I have easily spent over $30k usd in total. Never thought it would reach this point.
I have tried and failed to quit more times than I can even remember. This is very common, so there’s a constant push and a temptation to “relapse” in findom. I would estimate that I’ve sent money to around 150+ different women.
My most recent serious attempt to quit started 80 days ago, and my last relapse was 9 days ago. I’m attending a local SAA meeting this week to share my experience with and learn from others going through similar challenges.
I have had to dip into savings quite a bit to fund this addiction, and it’s left me pretty much entirely with regret. I want this post to show anyone else struggling with addictive behaviors that they’re not alone — everyone has issues.
I will do my best to answer any questions.
