Escort Rates

[DavidGartner]

Hello Gentlemen,

 

I have to ask this question once again, different rates for different services.

 

Should I charge a different price for everything BUT anal and than another price for full service anal etc? Cause lets take an example rate of 200/hr some say they do not want to have anal.. and when i tell them they pay for my time and i can not have fluctuating rates for what they will and wont touch.. they think its a bit much for oral. Which I kind of do to. BUT this has come up so many times I jus want you guys to re-affirm some kind of idea back into my head as my judgement is cloudy in thi regards.

 

Thank you for your opinions on this as I am a little confused on what I should do.

 

Love ya always of course David Gartner *wink*

David: You are charging for your time and companionship so why would you present the client with a "menu" of different services for differnt fees? A "session" is worth whatever price you place on it and hopefully the client agrees.

 

When ever an escort presents me with an escalating price list I get the distinct impression that I am going to bed with a cash register and I am OUT OF THERE like you-know-what through a goose!

In my experience, escorts who charge different rates for anal, oral or whatever the scene are quite often hustlers. Don't do it. Decide upon hourly incall/outcall rates and an overnight rate and stick to them. If someone says that they're just into oral and they think your rate is a bit much for that, politely tell them that's what your rate is and perhaps they'd be better served calling someone else. They're paying for your time after all. Keep it simple.

Yea i know that, but like i said my judegment was clouded because I keep getting asked, so I guess when you get asked enough times you start to second guess yourself on where everything lays. But thanks for the info, your advice is what I have been sticking by anyways, I just needed some advice still

David, first for you to charge different rates for different services is not a good business move. Legally, if you put on your website different rates for different prices, then you are more prone to get into trouble with law enforcement. Same thing is true if you discuss this in e-mails.

 

The way I like to have it done is this: Lay out really specifically what you are into and what you do. Have one fee that is all inclusive. When someone see you, you will find out more of what they are looking for. And, hopefully, if you were in contact with them before, you will have an idea.

 

When I approach an escort for an hour or two, I simply say I am looking for someone who is versatile and very oral and affectionate. That keeps the door open for me. If the person agrees, we set a date.

 

I think a one rate charge is not only easier for you, but will save you time and legal hassles in the future.

 

BTW: You are so fucking sexy! Your pic is adorable and I am sure that no matter what you decide, you will make it work.

Selecting my "desires" from a menu of options with different prices would certainly take away and detract from the overall experience. For me, an escort is not just renting me their body but providing a fantasy package.

 

A sliding scale price list kills the fantasy experience IMHO.

 

My recommendation is to state your price, communicate your limitations, and let the client guide the activities during the session (while respecting your boundaries).

 

I wouldn't want an experience that felt like I was going through the checkout counter at Kmart. x(

In my case, I deduct a dollar from my hourly rate for every smartass comment or bad joke I make. I usually come home with about 20 bucks and tell Derek I got mugged.

>In my case, I deduct a dollar from my hourly rate for every smartass comment or bad joke I make...

 

The only other time I'd recommend a sliding scale is when a escort mispresents their size. Let's say we deduct $50 for every inch they exaggerate. Or perhaps the escorts should add $50 for every 10 pounds the client forgot to disclose. :+

IMO, I think you should be like the majority of the escorts and pick one hourly rate incall/outcall and thats it. And you should state honestly in your private communications with a potential client what you are willing/able to do with that client for the stated hourly rate. No ifs, ands or buts, your rate is your rate and I believe you'll find most clients understand this, but will also find that most clients are not pleased to find you charging extra for each additional act. To do otherwise will most likely engender a bad rep for you that you really don't want to have.

 

If you will do anal only at $whatever/hr then I would suggest that you make that your hourly rate and that you be willing to do that for the stated rate (of course you could say that other scenes such as kink, etc. are extra). If the client only wants to cuddle, or only wants oral then he still pays your basic rate, never sell yourself short.

 

Dude, take a position and stick to it, because if a client knows your rate, but wants to pay less because he's only into oral, then he's really not a client you need anyway, unless you really, really really need the business (I can't believe that given your physical looks!). I think it would be really bad, if you bartered your rate down because "I only want to suck you off" and it turns out you have to pass up some other client willing to pay your asking price.

Hi David,

 

Let me take an opposing point of view to the majority. But before I do let me preface my remarks:

 

First, you need to set your pricing policies according to what makes sense for you. If you could handle more business and you are passing much of it up because of pricing policy for less than full service you might want to revisit your policies. If you have sufficient business then there is little reason for you to revise policy unless you feel a desire to service part of the community that your rates shut out. A very few escorts offer special pricing for college students. There are also seniors on fixed income that would find the full service rate a once a year treat, if that.

 

 

Second, TotallyOz offers a cogent perspective with respect to advertising different rates for different services. Take this to heart. Do not offer a menu of rates on your web site or even in emails. Find out what is sought and offer a quote ‘for time’. Make your limits clear in a general sense.

 

Third, what makes a hustler is his attitude not how he prices his services. I have seen $200/hr hustlers and $100/hour courtesans, and if you choose to set your rate on what you promise to deliver, don’t think any the less of yourself.

 

Fourth, my preference is for full service and I pay the full rate or not, depending on what it is, but…

 

Time and again there have been several ‘hot’ guys I have contacted who did not provide ‘full service’but did provide oral. I would have signed on in an instant for an appropriate rate but passed at what constitutes the customary full service rate. I don’t pay the same for beverage and appetizer as I do for a three course meal. I have signed on to oral only with those that price their service at less than my view of a full-service rate.

 

Furthermore, I retired early this year and for several months my entertainment budget was essentially nonexistent. I had to forego escorts. Had I the opportunity to engage escorts for lesser service at a lesser rate I would have found a way. However, there was no way I could make the necessary trades between routine expenses and entertainment to accommodate full service rates. Retirement on fixed income isn’t a rare circumstance in this world. I don’t expect you or others to be a charity and give it away but there are those out that cannot afford full service rates and would be very happy to get half-a-loaf at a reduced rate.

 

In the end you need to do what make sense for your business and for you as individual -- what makes you comfortable. Whatever you decide, I hope you travel to Boston some day so I can schedule a full service session at full service rate.

>Third, what makes a hustler is his attitude not how he prices

>his services.

 

The attitude is a given, an escort with a hustler mentality will charge more for each additional act and is looking to get as much as he can out of that particular client. Hustlers aren't looking for long-term clients, so they're not all that concerned as to how they treat people. Sure there are street hookers that are hustlers and there are high-priced escorts that are hustlers. My point was that in my experience escorts who charge ala' carte are more likely to be of the hustler variety.

 

Also, my experience has also been that those who complain about your advertised rate because all they want is XYZ are more likely to be cheapskate, high-maintenance clients who aren't worth the trouble.

 

I don't know what your rates are David, but I'd take into consideration what the going rate is in your city and charge that OR lower.

Tampa, your perspective and suggestions were right on target. I agreed with you totally.

 

On my last trip to Montreal, I had the opportunity to hire a boy that didn't do anal. He was very upfront about this and I knew going into the encounter that this was not an option. His rate was the same for those that were offering full service. However, his time was much more valuable than any of the other boys I hired on that trip. He was totally enjoyable and I will see him again and again. I was hesitant at first to hire since he was limited in what he did. However, after a good recommendation by a good friend I made the plunge. And, I am glad I did.

I have to agree w/ Tampa totally... Everybody’s market is different and if you see that you are benefiting from this, then make it work for you.

 

Personally I have kept it a flat rate but that is because everyone in my area has too and that does make things easier.

 

 

 

Later,

Adam

David, as a client, I have been at this site for almost three years. During this time-- the scorts I've seen, and I have seen porn stars as well as individuals who merely scort, have charged a set rate for their time (ALL of them) regardless of their being v. vt. t.-- you name it! I'd suggest you go with the flow of the majority of your constituents.

[Flower]

I totally agree with hawk on this--and it looks like there is a clear consensus, so another opinion really is not necessary, BUT--think about this--I know of NO other professional or person that charges by the hour that charges less for the hour if he does "this' and more if he does "that." :+

 

When was the last time a plumber said $80/hour for fixing the kitchen sink but only $55 for roto-rooting the line? Or the CPA or attorney saying they'll charge less or more per hour for different types of service in their line of work?

 

When I need a computer network person, he doesn't present me with different hourly rates for his work and neither should you.
