I'm a paypig who spent $1,800 of my student loan on my 'findom' fetish, but I don't regret it

• A college student spent about $1,800 from his student loan to fund his "paypig" fetish.

• He enjoys "doms" he finds on Twitter financially dominating him and pays them to humiliate him.

• The business student pays for Skype sessions with some doms and met one in real life to pay them.

This as-told-to article is based on a conversation with a 23-year-old college student in the UK who used money from his student loan to fund his financial-domination fetish. He spoke on the condition of anonymity to protect his privacy. Insider has verified that he spent a portion of his loan on "findom" with documentation. The following has been edited for length and clarity. 

I'm a 23-year-old college student in the UK who's also a "paypig" — someone who enjoys being financially dominated and sending people money for the sheer sake of being humiliated.

I got into "findom," or financial domination, about two years ago during the pandemic. I discovered it through Twitter after I saw some models post their wish lists on the platform. That was my first step into the world of findom. I had just received my student-maintenance loan — a loan to help with my living expenses — and that gave me a bit of spare cash.

At first it involved just chatting to "doms," or dominant people, via Twitter direct messages and sending them money using Cash App. After a few weeks, I booked a Skype session with a dom who asked me how much I had, and that's how I got into spending my student loan.

She was a self-described feminist dom who I thought was attractive. The power exchange appealed to me. We exchanged messages on Twitter after I sent her money through Cash App.

A few days later we set up a Skype session

During the session, she called me demeaning and humiliating names, including "pathetic loser," and did a "wallet drain," which is when a dom empties your bank account.

I spent about £800, or almost $1,000, in that 30-minute session, and she called me a "good boy" after I sent her money. The next day, she sent me a video of her counting the cash I'd sent.

I felt a bit down after she drained my account, but at the same time, I enjoyed it because it excited and aroused me. I took a break from it after that because of how much I spent, but I ended up getting back into it — like a lot of paypigs seem to do.
