Exactly. It's net, not gross. And financial savviness toward financial freedom.

Haha. I used to HATE erotica novels with a passion when I was younger. Pretty much thought they were all stupid. After I got divorced I found myself oddly drawn to the millionaire ones and the vampire ones most especially. Tellingly, the two biggest issues in our marriage, that left me dissatisfied anyway, had to do with monetary fights and power plays.

So you get that the fantasy isn't about the money, right? It's about money not mattering. It's about not having to always be the one to sacrifice or give up on pleasureable things to keep him from pouting and showing his ass. It's about being with someone for whom doing things just for your enjoyment is his focus.

And it is pure fantasy. IRL, nobody achieves that kind of wealth without being a right ruthless and selfish bastard, right? We know this.

It's the same thing with vampire erotica. Guys always think it's because women are secretly drawn to power and want to cling to it for protection.

No. The fantasy is about power not being used against you or to brutalize you for fucking once. That's the fantasy. Being completely safe in the presence of ultimate power from his being able to exercise some self discipline without exchange or handing over any part of your autonomy.

Vampire erotica is crazy popular. I think it's losing it's popularity now though. A lot of male writers have infiltrated erotica ad have buggered it up. They don't get it; so they ruined it. They're actually using feminine pen names too. Ain't that something? You can usually tell pretty quick though. It's just that bad.

Yeah, the women on YouTube are exactly like Andrew Tate. They're Influencers. Somehow or another, they're making money off that content.

We have to remember that Influencers, male or female, do not represent the majority of men's and women's feelings about tbis sttuff IRL. They're just sham artists, snake oil salespol, grifters, trying to make an easy buck off your insecurity.
