Alpha Kings

[metta]

Step into the bedrooms of the young men who make a living in the kinky world of “findom”

"Directed by Enrique Pedráza-Botero and Faye Tsakas, “Alpha Kings” is a real eye-opener. Its subjects are four friends—all legal adults in their late teens—living in a Houston, Texas suburb, who are straight but offer their “services” as financial dominants to an audience of anonymous subs.

As the film shows us, they all spend a lot of time in front of a camera—often shirtless, sometimes flexing or showing their feet, though mostly just getting paid for existing, interacting with their clients, and occasionally offering up some good old-fashioned verbal abuse."

Seriously...this is all so sad and pathetic...but I now understand that there actually are men who love to be drained of cash on-line receiving nothing in return.

When I see the guys advertising as Findom...I can only wonder at how fucking hopeless their marks are.

But for every old sock there's an old shoe.

But isn't this exactly what so many girls do to older guys?

Observations:

1. The world is full of people with a lot more money than sense.
2. I find that people with ugly personalities are a huge turnoff, and immediately negate any attraction I might have for a "type." I cannot look at the obvious contempt these little pricks have for the poor souls they hook, and their eagerness to exploit them, as nothing less than a major moral failing.
3. These punks need a huge attitude adjustment, and deserve to get whipped and paddled on their bare butts in order to have compassion for the weaknesses and frailties of their fellow human beings, until their ass cheeks turn scarlet. I MIGHT pay money to see that!

This is the first time I have heard of this fetish:

Financial domination - Wikipedia

I wonder how common it is.

I only clicked through segments of the vid, but it doesn't seem very puzzling to me, and I'm not sure it reaches the threshhold of being a fetish.

There's nothing new about the age gap flirtation, both directions, between youth and age, experience and inexperience, power and desperation, and giveres and takers. It's not unique to gays either.

This niche is just one of thousands of variations of cam sexting, gay for pay, etc. Old guys with money but no social skills, or closeted, or whatever, find young guys with no work ethic, no lives, and no skills, to simply chat with. The elder get a sense of being valued or intimate from the proximity of camera and conversations, and the young get easy money for little time and the safety of their bedrooms. Like others before them, these boys have just figured out a niche market.

The pretense that it's really about being dominated or scammed is just a slant telling. When I start seeing some old guy shaking his tits and getting thousands from a viewer, I'll believe it's about being dominated instead of just toying with hot young chicken.

Rent boys are rent boys, whether the older guy is there in person or not, whether the boys are gay or not, and whether there is anything deceitful or not.

Also, having witnessed the interactions on these cam sites, there are plenty of generous older guys who are obviously paternal, projecting their own struggles as too-often disowned gays, or closeted, trying to make a better world directly for the young guys they believe are gay on the cams. Many times it's not about a jerk session or pay per view porn either, even if that is the majority.

Community has shifted online for many groups, gays included, grifters included.

Sounds like something that should have been brought up during that 'it gets better' campaign.

Actually, this would have been a hell of a lot more interesting than the ridiculous brag-fest the 'it gets better' campaign turned into.

My friend was telling me that there is also Food Porn where they pay someone to eat and they watch them online. He has a friend that was paid $2000 to watch him eat a pizza while studying.

I do love watching people eat who are zestful and descriptive.
