Paypig Meaning (and Finsub, Findomme): A Findom Glossary

A paypig is a submissive who gets pleasure or satisfaction from giving money or gifts to a financial dominant (a findomme). It's one of the most common terms in findom (financial domination). The word is deliberately cheeky, and some people prefer the gentler finsub.

If you're new to the whole idea, start with findom explained. This page is the glossary.

Findom terms, A to Z

Cashmeet: meeting a findomme in person, usually in public, to hand over money or pay for her shopping. Should always be in a public place, with a budget agreed in advance.

Drain: an intense session where the sub sends repeatedly, sometimes until a pre-agreed limit is reached. Agree the limit before, never during.

Findom: short for financial domination, a kink built around the giving of money or gifts as an act of submission.

Findomme / findom: the dominant in a findom dynamic. Findom is also used for the woman herself ("she's a findom").

Finsub: a financial submissive. A neutral alternative to paypig.

Human ATM: a role-play term for a sub who sends on command.

Paypig / piggy: a financial submissive, often in a dynamic that includes playful humiliation.

Send / sending: making a payment to a findomme.

Task: something the domme asks the sub to do, paid or unpaid, from writing lines to buying her a specific gift.

Tribute: a payment made as a show of respect, often to start a conversation or book time with her.

Wish list: a list of gifts a domme publishes for subs to buy, usually through a service that hides her address.

Finsub vs paypig

Both describe the submissive in findom. Paypig leans into humiliation play and some subs love that edge. Finsub is more neutral. Use whichever term the people you're talking to use, and ask if you're not sure.

Is findom legal?

Consensual gifts and payments between adults are generally legal. Real blackmail or extortion is a crime, even if it started as a "game". Any threat to expose someone that wasn't clearly negotiated as fantasy, with an easy way out, is not findom. In most countries money earned from findom is taxable income, and professional findommes declare it. Check with an accountant where you live.

Staying safe

• Set a budget before you start and never send money you need for bills or debts.
• Use verified platforms that process payments themselves. See our findom and tribute sites.
• Never share bank logins, passwords or ID.
• Be wary of gift-card requests in DMs and of anyone who refuses to verify.
• If findom stops feeling good, or starts affecting your finances or relationships, step back. A genuine findomme will respect that.
