Mistress Danielle Blunt:
I am so excited to have this chat today with my duckling and talk about our virtual, 24/7 D/s dynamic and virtual submission. I have interviewed other submissives of mine, like my woman finsub, but I have yet to do an interview with my duckling. As a Domme who prioritizes long-term D/s dynamics I love the feedback when I share intimate parts of what the training process looks like. And obviously, if you follow me, you know what a fan I am of my duckling. So we are going to talk about how my duckling fell down my rabbit hole and a little bit about what the process of submitting to me actually looks like, long term.
Something that is unique to my duckling and my relationship is that it is centered around virtual domination. Our D/s dynamic takes place over the internet, entirely in the realm of the virtual, even if the experience of domination transcend the virtual and move into the body. I think there’s a lot to talk about in what that progression of online submission looks like, into a fully fledged (fledgling!) fleshed out relationship with my duckling.
So before we get started, I’m going to have you close your eyes, take three deep breaths, and recite your mantra.
Duckling:
While being recorded?
Mistress Danielle Blunt:
Oh, no. That wasn’t part of your mantra. Start over!
Duckling:
Mommy gives me life. I draw every breath for Mommy.
Mommy’s beauty inspires me. I will lead a beautiful life for Mommy.
Mommy knows me better than I know myself. I will do whatever Mommy says.
Mommy is my god and my religion. I will kneel and pray to Mommy.
Mommy spins the web that snares me. I was born to be prey for Mommy.
Mommy the succubus haunts my dreams. I am yoked by my desire for Mommy.
Mommy deserves pleasure more than I do. I surrender my pleasure to Mommy.
Mommy’s pleasure is my sole purpose. My pleasure is at Mommy’s mercy.
Mommy uses my pleasure to remake me. My mind is a canvas for Mommy.
Mommy’s mental bonds hold me tight. I open like a flower for Mommy.
Mommy is the sun, my everything. I fall through eternity towards Mommy.
Mommy’s sacred light guides my path. I love being a cog in Mommy’s machine.
Mommy’s training makes me beautiful. I will be a pretty little slut for Mommy.
Mommy reveals how gender imprisoned me. I will be a vessel of pleasure for Mommy.
Mommy fills me with the feminine divine. I will be more than I imagined, for Mommy.
Mommy sees the good in me. I will be a good girl for Mommy.
Mommy grants space for my desires. I will confess my needs to Mommy.
Mommy knows what’s best for me. I will learn to be better, for Mommy.
Mistress Danielle Blunt:
Gentle applause. Golf clap.
Duckling:
Thank you, Mommy.
Mistress Danielle Blunt:
Very good. I think one of your best recitations.
Duckling:
Yes, Mommy.
Mistress Danielle Blunt:
It felt good, right?
Duckling:
It felt really good—
Mistress Danielle Blunt:
A little pressure, a little performance.
Duckling:
Oh, no. This is a terrible precedent.
Mistress Danielle Blunt:
[Laughter]
Introducing My 24/27 Virtual Submissive, Duckling
Mistress Danielle Blunt:
Okay, so what I’m so excited to talk to you about is that I feel like you came to me with a very specific interest, and over the years, there was a slow accumulation of trust and deepening control that took place entirely virtually as we explored this virtual long-term D/s dynamic.
And I think a tension that would come up for you in the beginning was how deep can you really go virtually? Is virtual domination “real”? Five years later, I feel like we’re both kind of in this space where this relationship is very fleshed out and robust and serves us in different, very real ways.
Before we get to the beginning, I’d like to start with you just introducing yourself and telling me a little bit about how you would describe our dynamic.
Duckling:
Oh, sure. Yes, I think— this was not in the plan!
Mistress Danielle Blunt:
It actually is in the plan, if you read carefully.
Duckling:
Oh, no. Okay, yes. Sorry, Mommy.
I would describe myself now as Mommy’s little duckling. I’ve imprinted upon you and you’ve taught me so much.
I identify, I think more than I ever would have guessed before, as a submissive. That was not really part of my identity before.
But it feels good now to think of myself as being your appendage, your assistant, your livestock, your asset, your cog, your duckling, honestly whatever Mommy wants me to be, because I know that by allowing myself to be molded, I serve you better. And serving you is something that is now… it feels intrinsic to who I am. It’s hard to separate my sense of self from this role that I have now, in being beneath you and hopefully lifting you up and making you better and serving your needs. And thereby, I think, also helping me, too.
Again, something that I think wasn’t in my mental model of D/s before, before our relationship.
Mistress Danielle Blunt:
I love that. To add to that, tell me a little bit about who you are and how you move through the world more generally.
Duckling:
I’ll say that I am a manager in tech. I have a family, a kid that I adore. I do live in the Bay Area, on the opposite end of the country as you.
So it has been, for sure, entirely a long distance virtual relationship. I mean, but even how I describe myself, I think, has changed since knowing you. So I guess, would you want me to describe who I was before I met you, or who I—
Mistress Danielle Blunt:
That’s a great place to start. Tell me who you were before you met me, and tell me where you’re at now.
Duckling:
Oh, yeah. I mean, I think I’ve always been someone who identified as— I’ve always been liberal.
I’ve always been very conscientious about myself and trying to do good in the world, but I think since knowing you, it’s really helped crystallize those views. And, I mean, one thing I was looking forward to talking about is before meeting you, I might have been on a path where I could see myself really settling into a comfort zone of kind of having my family, having a job.
I was doing fine, kind of coasting towards a life of, honestly, privilege and good fortune.
There’s a degree of activism that has sprouted in me, a wanting to be more of a force for good in the world. Like that entire sacred light part of the mantra now.
I want to try to spread that, grow myself, help others, and be a good example and a role model for others, especially now my kid, for example. So I think I’ve become— I’ve come out of my comfort zone, and want to be a little bit more of the change I want to see in the world. Even though it’s still definitely within the boundaries of having a young kid to raise.
But actually, it is to some degree, especially for them, you know.
Mistress Danielle Blunt:
I was gonna say, it’s related.
Duckling:
Yeah, it’s definitely related, honestly.
The origin of our virtual D/s dynamic
Mistress Danielle Blunt:
Amazing. Okay, thank you for that lovely introduction, duckling.
So I want to talk about how we first got in contact. You messaged me on my fan site, but there must have been something that made you make that decision. So I’m curious, what it looked like leading up to contacting me, and how those initial contacts were. What were you looking for? What did you think you were getting into?
Duckling:
It was a little while ago now, but looking back, I think it was…
Mistress Danielle Blunt:
Five years.
Duckling:
Five years now, yeah.
So five years ago. I think we were into the second year of the pandemic, so it was still, you know, staying at home. Kind of having my life narrowed to more or less my home.
I was definitely feeling the constraints of the life I was living, and this kink exploration that I had flirted with in the past, but that I had never managed to really follow that thread.
And especially in that moment, I was feeling stifled, and feeling like there was something inside of me that had been trying to get out. It was feeling ever more pronounced, and I had to do something.
I had been, honestly, struggling to cultivate that side of myself with my partner, and then wanting to find some outlet for it. And I think at the time, honestly, the fact that it was long distance, online — I very deliberately chose a domme who was on the opposite coast. I didn’t want to be tempted by someone who was local to me.
So it felt safe in ways that seem kind of naive in hindsight. But yeah, I wanted to just have someone to talk to about kink with and to explore these dynamics. At first, I wasn’t entirely sure. I didn’t have a concrete goal. It was, honestly, a bit of a desperate move. And in hindsight, back then, at that moment, I would have been happy with just having that itch scratched. Ultimately I was wanting to see what it would take to scratch that itch.
Mistress Danielle Blunt:
Yeah. And what did it take to scratch that itch, Duckling?
Duckling:
For me, bondage is definitely where my kink journey began, and I think very directly, it led me to you through being a longtime customer of Kink.com. Beginning with Hogtied, you know, where I could see lovely images of women in bondage, and then seeing a shoot that you did with them: Mommy’s Basement.
I believe it was the first shoot of yours that I saw. And that was, I think, what first drew me to you. Drew me to you in particular. For me, that shoot was very intense.
It started off as being just porn, in the sense that it seemed out of my reach, right? But I’ll say that, for better or for worse, this is where the platforms, like fan sites, helped me, because it seemed much less threatening.
I felt like there was a more explicit invitation to get my feet wet in a low-key way that required a lot less nerve on my part than approaching via your intake form on your main website.
So I think maybe with the business model of the fan site, I could essentially “pay as you go” to have some contact with you, and that was appealing. It didn’t seem like a huge commitment.
Pretty early on, I was hooked just by the reality that it was really you on the other side, engaging with me. And honestly, it was so validating, just having someone respond positively to these expressions of kinky desire and exploration, as opposed to having to justify it or explain it. Having someone actually be into it definitely helped propel it.
I knew we couldn’t explore bondage directly, but historically, bondage did lead to my next major fetish, which is orgasm control, which I believe we actually started exploring pretty quickly.
And after that, I was completely hooked, because instead of gooning to captions of women saying that they were taking away your chastity keys, there was you, talking to me, telling me not to cum, and just complying with that felt so fucking good.
It was a revelation. And looking back, I should have realized sooner: oh, wait, okay, this is dangerous, because it felt so real and so good despite it being “just” texting back and forth on your fan site.
What a 24/7 D/s virtual dynamic looks like
Mistress Danielle Blunt:
I like that. Okay. And so then, how did that move into— and I guess, for those who aren’t familiar with our dynamic, you now are my assistant. We joke that I’m training you like an LLM. Like a large language model, that I am just rewiring your brain to be totally focused on service and devotion. I don’t think you would describe yourself per se as a finsub, but there are elements of financial domination in our relationship.
Why don’t you talk a little bit about the things that you do for me, to fully flesh out where our relationship is now? Why don’t you describe your time working at Blunt Enterprises?
Duckling:
I’ll say there has been something that I didn’t wrap my head around early on, because I thought it would just be some, you know, playing on the fan site. I mean, how could I really serve you from the other side of the country?
It turns out there are plenty of things to do, plenty of tasks online, that I could help you with. Things from ordering things for you, going to e-commerce sites and having to deal with the various new email spam I was getting. There was doing research for you.
Actually finding the right tech in order to help you with video editing, for example. Researching COVID-safe restaurants near you.
I mean, honestly, it’s a bit— especially now, compared to when we started, it’s actually mildly alarming. It’s hard to think about myself as your LLM, but I’m actually really feeling— I feel replaceable. Everything I’m doing is stuff that Google is saying that Gemini will do for you as your agent in the future. But basically, I’m your little agent, and it feels good that I’ve been kind of personalized to you the same way these tech products are trying to be personalized. But yeah, there’s honest anxiety there, that you could replace me with a machine someday.
Mistress Danielle Blunt:
I’m not going to do that.
Duckling:
Oh…
Mistress Danielle Blunt:
So you are lucky. Okay, well, you are not replaceable, other than being infinitely replaceable in the hot way. So you have to keep working for me, and working harder and harder. So that I don’t just toss you away.
Duckling:
Yes, Mommy.
What does financial domination look like in our 24/7 D/s dynamic?
Mistress Danielle Blunt:
Earn your keep.
Okay, so you operate largely as an assistant that I delegate tasks to, that make my life easier. As well as elements of control, eroticism, orgasm control, and play. We also have play dates online, which are very fun. And we were overdue for one! And so I’d be curious about your relationship to findom.
Also, am I using this interview just to be like, I’m really not so scary? I swear, I really just like the things that I like.
But I think I have a different approach to financial domination than a lot of findommes out there. And I also think it’s unusual to see representation of someone who is interested in financial domination and in long-term relationships. And I think that’s a spot that I really like. I see financial domination as just one axis of control, and there are very old-guard people who are sort of like, you know, if money is transacted at all, it’s not actual power exchange.
I don’t understand that, because money is one of the most tangible forms of power. And I actually think if you’re leaving it off the table to play with and you have it, you are— well, people are entitled to their boundaries, right? But you’re also, if you’re not interrogating why you’re leaving that off the table to play with, I think you’re missing out on some really interesting aspects of play and surrender.
And I’m curious what your relationship is to some of the financial domination things that we do. I don’t know how you would describe it, but they don’t feel particularly humiliating, and feel more like a form of sacrifice and continued surrender from afar.
Duckling:
Oh, I definitely didn’t have a financial domination kink beforehand, and I’m not even sure I would say now that I’m “into findom.” Yeah, maybe it’s due to your training, but it feels very natural to me.
I mean, in the early days, initially I was giving small tips on the fan site, because it was new. But then you were inducing me to give more, and nothing bad happened. I gave more, and it actually felt good.
It felt good to be generous. And I think then that very naturally led to giving gifts to you. I mean, I had the money to do it. The gifts were appreciated. I could easily imagine how it added to your life and made your life better. So then I gave more gifts.
I remember now, it’s crazy. I was getting you a new MacBook, I think, two months after I first met you. But then, very naturally, “giving gifts” leads to just “tell me what she wants,” and then I’ll buy it for her, right?
And again, it’s a very natural way of using what I have for your benefit, which is logically what service is, at least to me.
So then I think it just grew naturally to, well, I can just give you the money, or even route the money into an account that you can use. It does definitely feel like a very natural progression from service.
For me, it’s the same core as the tasks I’ve performed for you. It’s me devoting both my time and energy, as well as the money I’ve earned from devoting my time and energy to my employer. And giving it to you, which feels good.
Mistress Danielle Blunt:
Yeah, I love that. There are two things that you said. Well, first, I think it’s also like financial control. Maybe it takes us outside of the realm of financial domination, and finsub, and pay pig, and all those more loaded terms. It is just one axis of control. And there’s two things that you said that I find really interesting.
One, that it feels good to be generous. And money is just one thing you have to be generous with. You also have time. When I talk about how I train submissives, generosity is one of the most important things I look for. And I actually don’t just mean financial generosity, although I am very hesitant around people who have resources and guard them, because their fear of being “taken advantage of” is more than their desire to be generous.
I think it’s a very gross trait, as someone who’s very generous with everyone in my life. It’s like a spiritual action for me to be generous and to let go of it. To give and to receive, I think, are really beautiful things. It should feel good to be generous, right?
And resources are something that you have access to. And so why would that not be something that would feel good to give, the same way that spending your time doing devotions does? I think it also can add a component to labor that people are doing, of, you know, this is also in part for my mistress. And it encourages people to excel at work.
I think it’s very interesting how you describe it, because there are a lot of connotations around how money is played with in D/s dynamics, whether you call it financial domination or not. But for me, really, generosity is at that crux, because I don’t understand how you have submission without being generous with resources more broadly, including time.
I asked what they were looking for in a submissive, and they were like, someone with a lot of time to waste. I just love that, because yeah, that’s one resource that is so nice to be able to play with when you’re training a submissive. And my approach to domination is to mold people to be of service and of pleasure and of devotion, and it…
Yeah, it really gives me the ick when people are so weird about it. I understand when people don’t have the same access to resources, but I’m a woman who knows what she wants. And what a rare gift, to have someone tell you how to make them happy. I know a lot of workers who have clients who don’t like when they ask directly for things, instead it has to be their client’s idea. But why would you want me to pretend that I don’t know what I want? When I do. And you could have the privilege of facilitating my pleasure without the burden of having to guess?
Duckling:
No, no, for sure. And I think, first, I want to say two things. One, which is that— if I’m honest, I think at the very beginning, I was framing it in my mind as a bit transactional. But I think very quickly, the money helped it feel real, and something that definitely was an anxiety for me. You know, is it really D/s, being remote and virtual? But I think sending money to you was a dose of reality, because it was my real money going from me to you, that you can use to buy real things.
Mistress Danielle Blunt:
That you can see me with.
Behavior modification and the religious aspects of submitting to Mistress Blunt
Duckling:
That I can see you with, exactly. It makes all sense in the world to me that— I mean, again, money is something that everyone has… well, maybe I can’t even say that anyone has enough. But I mean, for me, it’s also kind of a— I think of it as religion too, because in many ways, with you, I found religion. And many religions, you know, people do tithe or give, no matter where they are in the ladder of status.
So I think you always have something you can give, especially to a purpose that you find truly meaningful. So I think that for you— you’ve literally added an entire layer of meaning to my life.
Mistress Danielle Blunt:
That wasn’t there before. Making me emotional. Yeah, you don’t go to a Goddess’s altar and take something. You leave an offering and pray for her mercy.
Duckling:
Oh my gosh. Yeah, yeah, exactly.
Mistress Danielle Blunt:
Right? Exactly.
There are elements to the religious that I like to infuse into my training. It’s also part of the behavior modification that I like to use, that helps the submissives that I work with long-term to grow and to move and to expand in these different ways. We live in a society that also just lacks community, and lacks spaces for people to talk about their sexuality.
There’s so much within our dynamic that— I want to say our dynamic, but I also want to say in the potentiality of dynamics in general — that whether I’m the stand-in for God or I am God, I think God as a concept gives people a way of being in community and seeing themselves as part of the world, the natural world, in relationship to their neighbors, and part of relationships to, in this case, a BDSM community. And it allows people to do things for one another, which— I think people get very stuck like, oh, I’m just doing this for myself, what’s the point, right?
It’s like, well, if you’re doing it for God, there is inherently a purpose to it. And then it expands to, well, if I am worshiping God and God is responding to me, I must be worthy of the things that I’m receiving, because I am made in the image of God.
And I think that, as a cognitive behavioral tool, is very profound to work with. It’s like, okay, you might not have been able to do this thing alone, but for God, for my mistress, I am able to do that hard thing. Whether it be to explore my gender, work on OCD behaviors, sleep training, you know, going to bed on time, putting my phone down. I think having that kind of religious devotional component is a really effective tool for facilitating growth and change.
Duckling:
Oh, 100%. That’s what I meant, or was trying to grasp at, when I was saying that I think in another— in an alternate reality where I don’t find you, I can see myself having much less motivation to grow myself in those ways, and to become better. I think it could have been very easy for me to just be, yeah, ultimately more insular, and less motivated by trying to be worthy of my community and the world, and contributing to hopefully a better world.
Mistress Danielle Blunt:
Yeah, I like that. Okay, so you also said something— I want to talk a little bit about the virtual dynamic, for people who might not understand: how does a relationship of five years take place within the realm of the virtual? And so we’ve never been in the same room physically. Five years in.
Duckling:
As far as I know, I guess.
Mistress Danielle Blunt:
Yeah, because as far as you know— that’s so true. You might just be, like, some binary code existing, and I just programmed you.
Duckling:
Oh, I love that.
Mistress Danielle Blunt:
You don’t actually know if you exist, if you’re real or not. I just programmed you to do service for me. So you don’t have to worry about being replaced, because you actually just are…
Duckling:
Unf.
What does an entirely virtual D/s dynamic look like?
Mistress Danielle Blunt:
…an LLM that I coded. So have fun jerking off to that tonight.
Okay. What does an entirely virtual dynamic feel like to you? What does it have that you might not have expected? Does it feel lacking in ways? How do we work around some of the barriers of being “just” virtual? I feel like something that came up for you in the beginning was, “oh, it’s just virtual, it’s not real.” That’s something that came up a lot between us in the earlier days. And I’m curious how your relationship with the virtual has evolved, and some of the things that we’ve done to make sure that it is landing in your body and is with you at all times.
Duckling:
I definitely remember, earlier on, I had a lot of doubts and angst about whether it counted as a real D/s experience, or whether it was always going to be, in some degree, limited.
But I think it’s really helped to have the Zoom chats, and especially the daily texting. I mean, in many ways, I feel closer to you than people I have met in real life. Some friends I still text, but not as much as I speak with you.
Our relationship feels now a bit more like someone I’ve always known, who simply is now across the country. I feel closer to you than many folks that have actually been in the same room as me.
I’ve had so many experiences now, especially the play dates. It’s been eye-opening, what we can do, even over this digital connection and screen. It’s been amazing. Especially as someone who came into this with a heavy fetish for bondage, leaning into the idea of mental bondage, and the idea that I’m caught in your web. Obviously in a figurative, metaphorical sense, but I do feel it.
The idea that I’m— I’m literally unsure if I can say no to you.
The ways that I’ll have ideas, and then realize later, or you’ll point out, that these are ideas that you’ve installed into my brain.
Seeing firsthand how that works has really helped me to dispel the idea that this is not real. Because it’s something that— I can feel the space you take in my life, and that space feels good.
It’s the opposite of the “social media candy”, right? It feels very filling and nutritious, in a way.
Mistress Danielle Blunt:
I love that. Yeah, it’s not like the cheap thrill of it, but it’s like a sustained presence in your life.
Duckling:
Exactly.
Mistress Danielle Blunt:
You said something that was interesting too. To feel like you can’t say no to me. I would love if you could elaborate a little bit on that feeling. It sounds like a profound feeling of control and power that you feel, and desire to please. But I’m curious how that plays with your boundaries. I feel like someone who’s just reading that, who might not understand our dynamic, is like, oh, well, is that safe? But what is safety?
But I would love it if you could talk a little bit about what it is like to have that feeling of not being able to say no to me. And what trust needs to exist to operate in that space? What times you have said no to me, or shared a boundary?
Duckling:
That feeling is definitely one that’s grown over time. I think to some degree, you’ve, I’m assuming, been very intentional about not putting me in a position where— I actually can’t remember a time when you put me in a position where I really needed to say no. I mean, often I have begged for mercy, and even that has been hot.
But because I do have such a strong desire to please you, and hate to let you down — which, in some ways, we’ve even been playing with my own, proactive need for external validation and praise. So for me, there is real desire to say yes. But I don’t remember it ever being an issue where I’ve felt like it was truly dangerous, in a sense.
It’s been hot, feeling compelled to say yes. And to do what I can to comply. But in practice, maybe it’s semantics, instead of saying no, I tell you my limitations, my boundaries, or that I’m too busy at a certain time, or that something doesn’t work. And you grant me mercy. And I think it’s been something that we’ve had to hone over the years, given that we are often communicating over text. So, trying to be more intentional about that, and having some grace around the edges.
Mistress Danielle Blunt:
I think, too, the “can’t say no to me” thing is something— I like to train the desire into people, rather than people actually having an inability to say no to me. Because that doesn’t feel safe to me.
I’m thinking about one time where we had a miscommunication. I was trying to encourage you to do something to excel at work, and I was just using the wrong word, and we had this huge confusion— I think that’s one of our biggest. But it just turned out I was using a different word than you used at work, and we were both talking about the same thing, and our priorities were very aligned. But I think that’s the one time you really pushed back, because it sounded like you interpreted my push to be doing something that would destabilize you at work, rather than for a shared goal of growth.
And then I think it’s important that submissives be able to stand up for themselves, if they think that something is not in anyone’s best interest.
Duckling:
Yeah, I think you hit the nail on the head, where we’ve been very aligned. Ultimately, that me growing is good for me and it’s good for you. We both want me to grow at work. So over the years, we’ve grown a deep— I trust you very deeply. Both in your sense of how to move through life, but even when we do have conflict. Ultimately, it’s been super reassuring that even when we miscommunicate a bit over text, I often know I just need to get to the next time that we can touch base in real time.
And that’s never failed to help set things straight.
What does submission look like in the realm of the virtual?
Mistress Danielle Blunt:
Yeah. And I think also your ability as a submissive to self-regulate until we are able to get to that touch, and the trust that’s needed and built, so that one misunderstood text doesn’t escalate into something huge. And on both ends, being thoroughly secure in who we are and what the relationship is, is really helpful.
Okay, so I wanted to keep talking about the virtual, though. I’m curious about— I feel like there’s these assumptions that a lot of these experiences need to happen physically and in person. And sure, I’m not going to say it’s the same experience, but I’m curious, for people who say that it can’t be real without that— what would you say to that? And what are some experiences that we have?
I’m thinking about the one time when we had a virtual play date and I had a delivery happen at the same time, and I sort of put you in mental bondage, and you were just listening to what was happening around me, and it seemed to have done something very profound for you, of what it would be like to be at the femdom compound. And so yeah, I’m curious, what does it look like in that virtual space? What is possible, and where has it taken you, and where have the rituals that I’ve given you, and the structure and the protocol and the training, allowed you to go in your body and your mind together?
Duckling:
I was thinking of the same incident too, where I was just on the ground, kneeling on my floor with my forehead to the ground. I still had my earbuds in. So it was a profound sense of being in your home, and hearing you move about and deal with the delivery. And it really did feel like I was a toy that had been put aside for later. Which is actually, literally what happened. We were playing, and you needed to put me aside for later.
It didn’t require you to be in the same room as me. Especially the dominance and submission. I can feel it, and it is real. But there’s a different kind of submission that we play with. So in that sense, it really has been feeling not like a simulation [of D/s play], but the actual thing.
I really was experiencing being a toy in that moment. With the additional help, in a purely sensory way, of having the technology to help build that portal between us.
Mistress Danielle Blunt:
Yeah. And I think one thing that we also use is, you have surrendered a credit card to me. Or the—
Duckling:
Ooh, yes.
Mistress Danielle Blunt:
Did it turn you on when I said that?
Duckling:
Yes, Mommy.
Mistress Danielle Blunt:
I heard it!
The Role of Financial Power Exchange in Virtual Submission
Mistress Danielle Blunt:
Or the coffers, as we refer to them. And you do some accounting for me. And so what does it mean to you, not practically, but when you think about the fact that I have it, when I’m using it, when you’re getting notifications that I’m using it, what does that tether feel like? What does that do to you? And I think we heard it there, when you interrupted me to moan, that it does something for you. But thinking of a virtual tether, and those notifications, things like that, what does that feel like to you?
Duckling:
It’s one way of showing that even though it’s all digital and mediated by the internet, it’s truly real, right? It’s literally money flowing from the account in my name to either your account, or to goods and services being delivered to you.
The card itself, and the fact that you have it, it feels like a tap installed into my body, into me. At any time, even when we’re not playing, or not texting, even when I’m doing anything else in my life, you can pull that value out of me, and use it for your own benefit.
That is so fucking erotic and hot! I think the one concession you gave me was doing this on a card where I get a notification for every single transaction.
So I could feel each pull when it happened, and then imagine it, whether it was you getting your nails done or enjoying empanadas.
Mistress Danielle Blunt:
[Laughs] I order so many empanadas!
Duckling:
So many empanadas.
Mistress Danielle Blunt:
Deeply personal information, when I have access to your credit card, you get to know how many empanadas I eat a week.
Duckling:
Exactly. But it feels very intimate. And it’s one way that, despite being across the country, I do feel enmeshed in your life. And that feels really good to me.
Mistress Danielle Blunt:
I think of it quite similarly. It’s me tapping you like a little maple tree to get your sap, to turn into whatever I want.
It’s like, I can take you out of my wallet whenever I want and use you, and be like, hm, this one’s on Duckling. And swipe the card. It has the cute little— I get hit on so much whenever I use that card.
Duckling:
I love that.
Mistress Danielle Blunt:
By the way, there’s this little graphic of a little hypno ducky on it, and every time I have a young queer waiter, they’re like, “hey—”
Duckling:
I love that, Mommy.
Mistress Danielle Blunt:
[Laughs] “I love your card.”
Mistress Danielle Blunt:
So I’m using you in all of the ways.
Okay, well, you are at the office and we are at time, but I think it’s a good stopping point. For now. There is so much more to discuss about our dynamic. I can’t wait for part two.
Duckling:
Me neither! Thank you, Mommy.
Mistress Danielle Blunt:
You’re so welcome.
