It’s no secret that there are some Goddesses out there to whom I am more weak and loyal and, without any doubt, Goddess Ishtar is the one I am most weak for.
The reasons for that are many, and I could go talking about them for hours but, for the sake of this article, I will only focus on her incredible beauty.
I will show you 7 pictures that completely define her breathtaking beauty and power: 7 dangerous pictures, 7 pictures that will make you want to serve Her as soon as you look at them.
If you are ready to face this risk, keep reading.
1 – Flawless body
I have been serving Goddess Ishtar for ages now, and I yet have to find another Goddess with a flawless body like hers. You cannot find an inch of Her body that is not worth serving, worshipping, and going into debt for.
2 – Hypnotic Face
I could keep looking at her face for hours, not even noticing that time goes by. Her eyes are magnetic, when she stares at you it’s like you can feel them all over your body, you can feel what it means to be hypnotized. Her lips are naturally perfect, without any artificial job on them. And her long and beautiful hair only makes her face look even more stunning and beautiful.
3 – Superiority and power
I’ve selected this picture because it’s a perfect representation of how you feel each time you find yourself in a session with her. She knows her immense superiority and power and is not afraid of using them for her own pleasure. You will find yourself feeling small, insignificant, weak, and powerless: but don’t worry, it’s what makes every session with Goddess Ishtar a moment to remember forever.
Needless to say, what caught me in Her net was also her pure passion for pantyhose and the perfect way she wears them. Her figure was born to enhance the beauty of pantyhose, and her legs and feet are made to be inside the world’s most expensive pantyhose. And every time she moves wearing them, no man stands a chance.
5 – Feet to be worshipped
Her perfectly shaped, arched feet will be in your dreams forever. The way she uses them, either to dangle an expensive pair of Louboutin shoes or to wiggle her toes, will take your breath away. Her feet are a dangerous weapon: one of the many she has at her disposal.
6 – Her ass: only for the brave
She obviously knows the value of our time with Her, and how privileged we all must feel when she allows us to be in her presence. Therefore it won’t happen often that you’ll be lucky enough to have a look at her perfect and beautiful ass. It will happen only if you are brave enough to face the path to this privilege: total obedience and proper draining are the keys. But once it happens, you will never want to live without this privilege.
7 – Her breasts: a sight of Heaven
First of all, don’t even think for ONE second that Goddess Ishtar is one that will allow anyone to see her breasts. She won’t. For no reason and for no one. But you may be lucky enough that have a few glimpses at them when she is wearing some little more revealing lingerie like in this picture. At that moment, you will know what Heaven must be like. And, at the same time, know that you will never reach that kind of Heaven.
Let’s face it: we, slaves, keep spending money on Goddesses because we need it, we crave it, we want it. Some call this a disease (a word that I hate) or, perhaps better said, an addiction. Maybe we can stay away for a while (usually just a few days), but then we always end up needing a session, needing to send a tribute, needing our “fix”.
According to the Oxford Dictionary, an addiction is “the fact or condition of being addicted to a particular substance or activity“. That kinda describes well what we are all going through…
And it even better fits when we look for the word addicted: “physically and mentally dependent on a particular substance”. Now, of course, we are not talking about a substance here, but for sure we keep doing this because it brings us pleasure, it gives meaning to our lives, and it makes us feel better.
So that’s why I think that a session (or a tribute) can actually be our “fix” for those moments when we start feeling down, even nostalgic about the last great session we had. We have all been through that: a few days passed since that fantastic session we had, and we start feeling in a bad mood, with a bit of sadness too. It’s like the world doesn’t smile at us anymore, it’s like nothing can make us feel better. That’s precisely when we need that medicine, the “fix” that can make us feel good and happy again with our lives. And a session with the right Goddess can greatly serve this purpose: She knows what we need, She knows what will make us feel better.
So there we are, in the end, we have one reason more to thank and appreciate what our Goddesses do: they really offer a social service in a way, for guys with this magnificent, unique, overwhelming illness that’s called Financial Domination.
Do you need your fix right now? Head over to the who’s live page, I can guarantee that ANY of the Goddesses listed there will take good care of your needs 😉
I started this series of posts talking about a session I didn’t enjoy much, this time it will be different. It will be about a session that brought me back in time, making me remember how gorgeous She was, and making appreciate once more the beautiful Woman she is. [click here to read the other episodes]
Episode 2 – Back after 8 years
One of the consequences of these online-only relationships we have with Goddesses is that, of course, they can end from one day to another, without any form of warning. Since we usually know only the “online version” of our Goddesses, ignoring everything connected to their private life, as soon as they decide to stop pursuing this career, they disappear from our lives. Forever. Sad perhaps, but that’s how it is. And there is nothing wrong with it.
That is exactly what I thought happened to one particular Goddess, a gorgeous, elegant, blonde with a quite evident passion for nylons and pantyhose. I used to visit Her quite often for a few years, mesmerized by her elegance, her dangling of those heels, her sweet but evil smile, her small but erotic moves. I always ended up having a great time with Her, dropping my jaw more or less every time I saw her.
She was a rare gem: always dressed in an elegant way, more or less each time dressed in a different way, always in nylons. Perhaps the three most exciting things a Goddess can have in my opinion.
Then, from one day to another, she disappeared. She didn’t log anymore into her account, leaving me with no option other than moving on.
But a few weeks ago, the unexpected happened.
I was browsing the online models, as I often do, looking for a “fix” when…I saw she was online. It has been 8 years since the last time I had a session with her: I couldn’t believe my eyes.
I looked at her photos and recognized her in a matter of seconds. Sure she looked a bit different (we all change in 8 years!), but her beauty, her style, and her elegance, were all still there. Exactly as I remembered.
Little problem: I now had a different nickname on that site. What to do? I wouldn’t dare to be as bold as pretend she remembers me: in the end, I’m pretty sure I was just one of the many slaves she had…and so many years passed by…
So I decided to get in, don’t say who I was, and pretend it was my first session with Her.
The session was amazing. Her beauty and elegance got me in trouble in a matter of minutes, her attitude was as I remember. She was calm, relaxed, even nice at times…but with a quite specific goal in mind: make me submit to Her. Which of course happened. It was a great session, and that night I went to bed quite happy: she was back.
And if that wasn’t enough, an even bigger surprise was coming…
A few days later, I went back to her hoping for a session. I entered her free chat, and asked if she was available. I didn’t get an answer so, after a few minutes, I left. Probably she was busy or something, it happens.
A few minutes passed, and I got a message on Whatsapp:
Hi, do you still have this number? You messaged me a few minutes ago
Boy, I was shocked (in a very positive way)! Not only did she remember who I was, but she also recognized me even under a different nickname! A big smile came up to my face, while I told her how incredible all this was.
She told me she recognized my style during our first session but pretended she didn’t. So we basically played the same “game” during that session…how amazing that is!? She also added that, from time to time, she kept reading my blog during all this time.
Of course, I didn’t ask her why she wasn’t online for so long (and never will ask): that’s none of my business. That night we of course had another session, and more in the next days and weeks… She is back, and I couldn’t be happier.
So, who is this Goddess?
I promised myself to don’t say names or put links in this series of articles, but since I am speaking nothing else but positively of Her, I guess it won’t harm to tell you who is she: click here and see her online. As usual, be careful..you know the danger…
How many times were you listening to a song and noticed the words could easily be applied to Financial Domination? The words in that song seem to be written with your situation in mind, your feelings, your emotions… or perhaps they end up describing the way your Goddess behaves or how you feel about Her.
I am also well aware of the other side of the coin: I’m pretty sure, as a Goddess, there are certain songs that seem to be describing your lifestyle, with its ups and downs or the power you feel while dominating one of your slaves, or even just some specific trouble you have with them.
So that’s why I started asking around Goddesses and slaves about these songs, collected them, and created the “Financial Domination Playlist“, a playlist with all the songs that somehow talk (or well, could talk) about the Financial Domination world, from various aspects.
Follow the playlist
I am planning to keep adding songs to this playlist, therefore I suggest you follow it on either Spotify or YouTube, links below:

So…that’s it. What do you think about these songs? Do they “fit”? And please, if you know some more either left a comment on this post or fill in the form below, I will gladly add yours to this playlist. Let’s make it bigger!
I have been a PayPig for more than 12 years now, and if there is one Goddess out there that has been a constant, prominent presence in my Financial Domination journey, that for sure is Goddess Ishtar.
The way I spoiled Her online more or less remained the same till a few months ago when I noticed She opened her new fan page.
As soon as I saw that page, I was fascinated by the great variety of ways I could now spoil, serve and worship Her: I was not only limited to paying to see her on cam or to send her tributes!
To better explain what I’m talking about, I will try to describe the “process” that usually leads me to a draining session with Her, from the very moment when it all begins, a moment when I am usually not even excited, horny, or have any intention to send tributes.
Photos and videos to lure You in
Her page is like a magnet to me, and I’m pretty sure She uses it for that purpose. I visit it daily to watch her new content. I can’t resist the temptation to look at Her beauty, to drool on those pictures and videos, even when I don’t plan to have a session or send tributes, I still visit Her page and drool. And I think that’s exactly what makes her page so dangerous. Of course, I joined it so I can see all the content, but the monthly cost is nothing compared to the danger that page brings. I don’t even feel like that is a monthly tribute or anything, it’s just what allows me to watch her content, to drool on it, and to crave Her power.
Sending tips: when your desire starts to grow
I won’t deny that I always try to resist the temptation to be financially drained: it comes naturally, as a form of “self-defense”, let’s say. And besides, where is the excitement if I don’t even try to resist? It’s part of the process for me, it’s part of my way of living financial domination…it has always been there. And this is exactly why the ability to send tips to Goddess Ishtar, anytime and from anywhere, looks like the perfect way to give in a bit, but not too much. At first, it feels like the perfect way to stay in control of the situation. You think you are just sending a small tip, feeding your desire to spoil, but can still keep it under control in this way. But that’s not really what’s happening in your brain. Tipping Her is the perfect way for your brain to get used to spending, to open your wallet a bit…ready for it to be drained big time later.
The thing is that… I look at one picture I like and want to express my gratitude to Her. Just pressing the “like” button doesn’t feel enough. That’s how the little green button “tip” on the bottom of the picture starts to demand to be clicked. It looks like the only way to satisfy a bit of my need of serving Her, but what it really does is open up my brain for the soon to come real draining. At this stage, what usually happens is that I end up sending a tip on each of the new photos or videos She posts. It feels good to do that, it feels natural, it feels like the thing to do.
The wait after the tips
The next “phase” I always go through is the “wait” after the tips. And the funny thing is that, although I always go through this phase, it always goes the same way: I wait for something that never happens.
Each time I, as a slave, send a tribute to a Goddess (even a small tip), deep inside I always have the huge desire for her to acknowledge that tribute…you know, the classic “good boy” message, at the very minimum. But there is NO chance for this to happen after just a few tips, surely not with Goddess Ishtar. She is one of the most desired, busy Goddesses out there. A slave needs to do way more than just a few tips for her to even notice him. And it doesn’t matter that I’ve been spoiling Her for ages…actually, that makes it even less likely. She knows what I can tribute, and I’m pretty sure she will always ignore me (or pretend to) if I am only sending a few tips.
What this “phase” does to me though, is that it makes my desire to serve Her grow even more. Every minute I get more and more eager to be really in contact with Her, to see Her reaction to my tributes, to feel Her power on my skin, to feel Her beauty get inside my brain and do a carnage in there…
The big drain
So, to summarize a bit, my excitement and need to spoil Her started growing by looking at her pictures and videos, which lead to sending her tips…and this only made me start opening my wallet a bit…while my excitement kept growing. What do you think happens as soon as She comes online? Picture this: I’m on her page, looking at those pictures, sending tips, and adding comments, my excitement is growing and I see she becomes available. That’s the moment when it all ends as it always did in all these years: a big, satisfying, exciting, draining session like only Her can give to me. The difference between before she had this page and now is that, in a way, now the session starts when she is not even online. The big drain in the real session is like the inevitable conclusion of this process, where I, the slave, have so many more ways to fall deeper and deeper into her trap.
Conclusion
We could say that her page is, in a way, a big, elegant, exciting, huge trap for us, slaves. But it’s the kind of trap we all want to fall in, the kind of trap we crave to be caught by, the kind of trap that gives us so many more ways to spoil Her, serve Her, get excited and weak for Her. If you haven’t done it yet, don’t waste more time: click here and enjoy her new page…you will thank me later.
April 13th, 2022 update: Added the feedbacks at the end April 23rd, 2022 update: Added more Goddesses to the list of those present on this site May 10th, 2022 update: Added even more Goddesses to the list of those present on this site
I have been a moneyslave (or a paypig? No idea what’s the best way to call us these days) since 2009, and one of the things that come with it is the frequent need to adapt to changes.
Many things have changed in 12 years, especially on the internet: to give you an example, 12 years ago Facebook had 300 million users, now they are nearly 3 billion. Our lives changed, our habits changed…and online Financial Domination changed as well.
Changing my mind about cam sites
I wrote an article a while ago where I’ve listed the reasons why I thought a specific cam site was the best out there for a slave: at that time I was 100% convinced of it.
Well, I have changed my mind this year. And I didn’t just change the cam site I spend my money on, I actually didn’t spend most of my money on a cam site!
The thing is that, as I said above, time changes, everything evolves, people want different things…and slaves too, since we are people, right?
If you follow me enough, you know how much I love cam sessions, and I still believe a cam session is the maximum expression of online Financial Domination: nothing can be better than the feeling of losing control while the Goddess uses all your weaknesses right in front of you, giving orders you can immediately follow. But why should our Financial Domination experience be limited to just the duration of a cam session?
A site that makes the whole Financial Domination experience possible
I want to be able to send a message to the Goddess whenever I am thinking of Her, at the same time being sure that I am not wasting her time doing so. I want to tribute Her anytime I feel the need to. I want to be more in touch with Her and, if She wants, perhaps spend money to see some special content from Her. A cam site simply isn’t enough anymore.
That’s why I decided to write here what made me change my mind, what made me spend the most on this one instead of on cam sites this year: here are the 7 reasons why that happened.
1. You never waste your Goddess’s time
This, to me, is the most important one. I have the highest respect for the Goddesses’ time, and the least I want to do is waste even one second of it. If She gives me a tiny bit of attention, she deserves to be compensated if she wants to. That’s the beauty of this site. She can decide to get paid for text messages or set them free. She can post content to be unlocked with a fee or not. She has complete control of what she wants us to pay or not pay, and this makes me feel sure that I will never be wasting her time.
2. It is not mandatory to subscribe to the Goddess page
I hate sites like OnlyFans on which, basically, you need to pay a subscription to every model you want to interact with. I want to be able to have a cam session with a Goddess without having to subscribe to a page first, I want the freedom of sending messages or tributes to anyone. And besides, as you know, I am not the loyal type so… it may happen that, sometimes, I just want to have a cam session with a Goddess I’ve never visited before. Being forced to follow her page in order to do so, makes the whole thing less appealing.
3. It helps you find new Goddesses
This is another “plus” to other sites similar to this one. You can easily browse through models present on the site and it gets super easy to look around and get intrigued by Goddesses you didn’t know before. They display models in various ways, including the classic “who is available for cam” one, which makes it super easy to find a Goddess to have a cam session with.
4. You can easily call your Goddess
This is not just one of the many fan sites out there, which are basically just a way to buy pictures or videos from your Goddess. She can even have a page only to offer cam sessions if she wants to, and calling her is just the click of a button. The quality of the call? No need to worry about it, I have never had a single issue with it. It works flawlessly each and every time. I would actually be interested to hear other people’s feedback on this, just to see if I have just been lucky or…it just works.
5. You get the full experience
As I said above, our Financial Domination experience doesn’t have to be limited to the duration of a cam session: and this is exactly what happens here. Anytime you want to be in touch with your Goddess, you simply open the site and, even if she is not online, you can browse through the content she posted, send tributes, send a text message. More than once I’ve sent a text message to a Goddess that was offline on the site, and she answered right away, while she was either shopping or doing whatever other thing in her life. It’s more or less like having her WhatsApp contact: anytime you want to send a message you can, and most of the time you’ll get an answer at times when she usually isn’t available. This makes my Financial Domination experience way longer than a cam session…it can basically last the whole day if I need it to.
6. It’s super easy to use
This might be a minor thing at first since we more or less adapt to anything, but when using a site feels fast and easy, you end up using it more and more. And that’s what happened to me. Everything comes easy and fast, and the whole look of it is nice (in my opinion at least).
7. Lots of payment options
We get back to the thing I was talking about at the beginning of this article: if 12 years ago it would have been ok to only have Visa or Mastercard as payment options, that’s not the case anymore these days. We need to be able to use credit cards, Paysafe cards, PayPal, direct banking, and so on… and this site offers all these options (some with a bit of a cost though).
So, is this site perfect?
Not at all, and I don’t pretend to have every one of you get so enthusiastic about it as I did. But this is how I am, I tend to get over-excited about products and sites when I think they bring something new and smart to the table, I guess it’s related to the fact that I’m a technology enthusiast, I don’t know.
This site has of course many rooms for improvement, one for sure is the lack of ability to search models based on interests, and I’m sure you can easily find other reasons for this site not to be perfect. But the whole meaning of this post was that, for me, the time for a cam-session-only Financial Domination experience is over: it’s time to evolve, it’s time to add something more to it, it’s time for feeling closer to the Goddesses I spoil.
Goddesses you can already find there
If I said I’m spending the most on this site, it obviously means that many Goddesses already have an account there. To save you some time, I’m listing them all here.
We, as paypigs, have one and only one duty: to spoil our Goddess. It’s an honor we gladly take, and it’s the only reason why we are on this planet. We spoil Her however She pleases, without asking questions, without being able to resist for even one second. It’s the beauty of Financial Domination, isn’t it?
A different perspective
Now, how about we look at this from a different perspective? Are we really sure that, when we spoil a Goddess, we are spoiling just her? I’ll tell you what: we are not. The thing is, in my opinion, that when we spoil a Goddess, we are also spoiling ourselves big time. Spoiling Her is what brings us the greatest pleasure, it’s what gives us joy, satisfaction. We are here to do just that, we crave for it, we crave for Her to take whatever she wants from our bank account. And when we achieve that, the pleasure is also ours. So, in a way, we are actually spoiling ourselves. Don’t you think?
You deserve it
So the next time you lose your brain and start sending money to your Goddess, don’t feel guilty, don’t have any regrets: you deserved it, you worked hard for it…so it was just about time you got spoiled a bit! You are bringing the greatest pleasure to yourself, no reason to feel bad about it. Embrace this moment, enjoy spoiling yourself, don’t hold back!
During all these years of being into financial domination, I had the chance to virtually meet and serve many great Goddesses. They are all strong and powerful in their own way, and I also firmly believe not every slave would find them powerful in the same way. It’s perfectly normal: every slave has a different approach to financial domination, and we end up not feeling as weak for some Goddesses as we do for others. A Goddess can’t get into every slave’s mind, some of them won’t fall for Her, they won’t find Her as powerful as others.
Except one.
There is a Goddess out there that always finds a way, always goes deep into every slave’s weaknesses, using and abusing them for her own enjoyment. She always spends time exploring the slave’s mind, playing with it, digging into it, changing her approach slightly in order to get deeper and deeper into his brain. To get what She wants: his money. She is the only one that I know of who will get into every slave’s mind, no matter what he is into or what he thinks he is into. After meeting Her, his life as a slave will change completely. He will do what she wants and when she wants.
Goddess Ishtar
I have proudly been her slave for nearly 10 years now, following the rise of her huge realm, watching her becoming more and more powerful, famous, and greedy. Her intelligence is above the average person or goddess: she loves to understand human psychology and uses this to get into every slave’s mind. She takes time studying the slave, analyzing all his weaknesses, exploring different ways to abuse those weaknesses, till she finally gets in and starts being in charge of his brain and actions.
What other slaves say about Her
Because of my blog, I get in touch with many financial domination slaves. It’s nice to exchange experiences, fears, problems, solutions. Each time we also usually exchange opinions on Goddesses, and we always end up having different ones about them. One can feel weaker for a Goddess, the other one doesn’t even find her attractive. It’s perfectly normal, we all have different tastes. But in all these years I have NEVER spoken to a slave that, after a session with Goddess Ishtar, didn’t find himself trapped into her power. Wanting to serve Her more and more. To give Her more and more. And believe me, this is very uncommon.
There are endless examples of her power: on this blog, on Her site, on Her Twitter. I will just list a few of them here since I find terribly exciting to read about them… And I’m sure you will as well.
But above all, on this blog, I think the biggest sign of Her power is when I wrote about my first and only real-life experience. The night I met her and let her rape my bank account. You can read about that here.
But there are so many other signs of her power, made clear by screenshots she posts every now and then.
About 2500 Euros taken from a lucky slave, in one sessionI have never seen so many Euros banknotes at the same time
Her legendary 13.000$ wallet rape in one night
She is used to having lots of cash in Her hands
There is no escape
Many Goddesses abuse the “you have no escape” sentence, but when it comes to Goddess Ishtar those words get absolutely true and proved by all those that had at least one session with Her. You can’t escape such a beautiful, intelligent and persistent Woman. She will lure you in with her incredible beauty, with those eyes looking right inside your brain, those legs swinging right in your face… and while her beauty keeps you in, her brain will work to get into yours. She will abuse all your weaknesses, in a way no one ever did before. Goddess Isthat will carefully tailor every word, every look, every move to what makes you really weak and helpless. There is no way a session with Her will leave you unsatisfied or even with the slight idea of not coming back to Her. She will push the right buttons of your brain, pushing them more and more, bringing you closer and closer to your limits… And making you break those limits. Making you do and feel things you didn’t even think you had in you. If you don’t believe me (and all the others), make yourself a favor and have one session with Her. Nothing will be as before, forever.
These are the many ways you can serve Goddess Ishtar
