I've become a regular client for a relatively new provider in SF. We get along really well. I've booked him for 1-hour and 2-hour appointments, but I'm interested in trying a longer visit, maybe including dinner or a movie in addition to play time, and eventually, if things keep going well, an overnight. I asked him about his rates for longer appointments and overnights. He laughed and said he hasn't figured that out yet. I told him I would ask people here for their input on this. Clearly, a 10-hour overnight is not going to be 10 times the rate of his 1-hour appointments, but does a provider's hourly rate typically start to drop at, say, a 3-hour dinner+play appointment? In other words, at some point, if it's not going to cost me any more for an overnight, I might as well ask for that.
I've read many of the comments on this topic in this forum, going back several years, and I understand that an overnight is a qualitatively different experience, as it involves sleeping, possibly snoring, decisions about morning activities, alone-time, etc., and that's all fine. The provider and I are both happy to start gradually, adding some BFE to our current get-togethers to see how well that works. It would just be nice to know how some providers structure their rates.
