I forget the name of the movie...but I remember a great line where some animal rights activists were demonstrating in front of a building when a limo pulls up and this woman steps out wearing a full length mink coat. One of the demonstrators yells "DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY ANIMALS HAD TO DIE TO MAKE THAT COAT?" and she yells back "DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY ANIMALS I HAD TO FUCK TO GET THIS COAT!"

I trained my dog to do what I want him to by holding a milk bone in front of his nose. If the concept works...why not!
It's very different. Buying things for your wife/gf/slave shouldn't condition her obligation of doing things for you. You can buy, but it should have no connection. A wife/gf/slave is available at any request any time, w/o gifts (not always true for the first two, and should be always true for anyone who considers to be a slave).

When the submissive feels obligated to do something because you bought a gift, that's prostitution.
