My one hour rate is intentionally "overpriced" compared to my extended session rates because I don't prefer one hour sessions. I do my best work and find my best regulars in the 2-3 hour range, and my pricing is targeted to encourage those clients to book me and discourage those who prefer one hour bookings. I've been escorting for 7 years and haven't even OFFERED one hour sessions for the last 3-4 years because I learned early on that they're not where I really shine as an escort. They feel rushed to me, I don't get to indulge the client with my full skillset, and they take just up too much time in my schedule between the getting ready, cleaning up, etc to really feel "worth it" to me. I did decide to try offering them again now that I've re-branded as FTM, but the rate I've attached to them is purposely a much "worse deal" than my rates for longer sessions. I'm willing to meet for an hour but I'd really prefer to be booked for 2-3 hours instead.
 
Some people really PREFER one hour sessions and feel that two hour sessions are twice as much work. Those people aren't going to discount for multi-hours. It really just depends on the escort and what he finds preferable. If you're a client who prefers multi-hour sessions then it might make sense to look for an escort whose pricing structure reveals that he does too.

I agree and now you're making me re-think my decision to offer one hour appointments again at all. Why even offer less than my best?

'recharge' is an app that lets you book a hotel room by the minute ... I think they are only in SF and NYC at the moment, but it works like a charm.

I'm into the Tempur Pedic pillows. I have neck problems (too many BJs???) and hotel pillows don't do it for me at ALL, so I actually lug one around the country with me when I'm touring even tho it's heavy as fuck...

Balls-to-the-wall action first. Get that out of our systems on an empty stomach.
 
Then dinner.
 
Then naked cuddling & making out until our horniness overpowers our fullness and we fuck again.
 
Then goodnight!

Dinner is always on the clock for me, but I offer special pricing & flexible timing for extended bookings that's include a meal together.

A fair stipend is whatever the escort says it is. It's personal and no one else's place to make a call on but him.
 
I've already suggested to you what I think a good offer is from your side. You said you're paying him $750-1000 a month now to meet him once or twice a month for 2-4 hours at a time depending on your schedule. Offer him the same deal with more stability for him and more flexibility for you. $1K a month flat, pre-paid by the 1st of the month, for 2 sessions a month lasting 2-3 hours each or one longer session if you can't make it twice that month.
 
There is no such thing as a "fair" stipend. Everyone's circumstances are different. But as an escort I could see something like this being an appealing offer to many.

It's a great idea. Seriously do it. You can also use Bitcoin to pay for your RentMen ads so like... why not??
 

 
I agree with that prediction. I do think that the political climate could interfere if all the governments start declaring it illegal tho. It's really BEYOND government control, but perception of value IS value when it comes to currency. Otherwise I really do see it increasing indefinitely tho. It definitely has a ways to go before the governments pay enough attention / feel threatened enough to start targeting it tho either way.

Not comparable in my opinion. An alternative currency that provides the necessary function of circumventing repressive government-induced restrictions on financial transactions is not going to see its demand suddenly eliminated. I won't be surprised if the price drops suddenly as with the dot com bubble (sudden price drops are an established pattern in Bitcoin's growth history already), but in the long run BTC is going to be worth much more than it's worth now. Tulip bulbs didn't perform a vital & necessary global function.
 
Even if you don't INVEST in Bitcoin (ie. store value) there, the practical value of having a wallet set up and being able to procure small amounts of Bitcoin to conduct financial transactions anonymously is worth exploring.
 
Just as an example, major (female) escort advertiser Eros.com recently stopped accepting prepaid debit cards for ads because its payment processors are fully overseas. Now the only options are bank/credit cards or Bitcoin. Many providers switched to paying with their personal bank cards because they didn't have Bitcoin and simply NEEDED their ads to stay live. Now some of them are receiving calls frok their banks informing them that their accounts are being shut down due to violating unspecified terms. As sex workers, we are safer when we have access to an anonymous payment method like Bitcoin that keeps financial institutions out of our business.
 
Sex workers have an obvious benefit to participation given the credit card industry's repression of our sector of the economy. But we are far from the only people with this type of concern. We might just be ahead of the curve on really "needing" this technology to protect our privacy.

James Altucher predicts one bitcoin will eventually be worth a million dollars.

I was just offered a Bitcoin payment from a long time regular. I'm not one to invest in speculative investments, but it'd be fun to have a small piece of skin in the game so to speak. Cash is always king, but I might take him up on his offer.

If escorts want to be cutting edge, they will start taking Bitcoin .

They now call then Surrogate Partners, rather than Sex Surrogates, but either way, I am one of them. In fact, I'm the only gay male Surrogate Partner Therapy practitioner that's currently taking new clients in Northern California. I just went through training back in April, so I'm still considered an intern.
 
There aren't nearly as many as there were in the 70's, during the hay day of Masters & Johnson and before the AIDS epidemic. There's a great documentary on Netflix called
that shows a British man and woman who each come to the US to work with a Surrogate Partner. There's of course also the movie , starring Helen Hunt. There are more Surrogates in the bay area than anywhere else, in fact, I'm hosting our monthly gathering next week.

I'm also a much bigger fan of perks for regulars rather than discounts. My rate is a boundary that I expect to be respected and I find requests for discounts to be a turn-off, especially when I know that a client has a higher annual income than me, which makes me think that it's not an issue of the client not being able to afford my rate but rather just feeling as tho they are entitled to a discount for being a regular or repeat client. I don't get discounts from my favorite hotels or restaurants for being a loyal repeat client. I do usually get better service tho, and extra perks.

It does make some sense to combat the flake factor. Lord knows that clients who flake out are the bane of every escort's existence. However, I have found that by the time something develops into a "regular" situation, I'm long past wanting to talk dollars with a guy.
 
I feel like I get extra time, attention and priority from my regulars that's just as good as any discount -- at least for me.

I totally agree. There is nothing guaranteed about the income otherwise.
 
Ask ṭo be upgraded to sugardaddy status. Offer a fixed monthly stipend for an agreed number of meetings. Transfer it to him on the last day of every month so that he can use it to pay his bills on the 1st of every month. THAT is guaranteed income that genuinely benefits the escort and gives you some negotiating power to bring to the table because of how enticing that stability is to most freelance, session-based workers.
 
I would recommend that you don't frame it as seeking a discount tho. Frame it as something mutually beneficial. Offer him about the same amount that you've been spending on him, but negotiate a little more time for yourself in exchange for the security that your monthly pre-paid stipend would offer him. That could easily seem like a win-win to a lot of people.
 
Please also keep in mind: multi hour sessions and multiple one hour sessions in the same month are COMPLETELY different beasts in terms of pricing. Our rate for a one hour session includes our time to prepare for the session, travel to and from the session, and clean up afterward. Multi-hour sessions are typically discounted compared to one hour session because there is no need to compensate us for the prep/cleanup/travel twice. If it's the case that you are booking 3-4 one hour sessions per month, then there is absolutely no reduction in his prep/travel/cleanup for the sessions. A single 4 hour session is much more appealing for an escort to discount because there is a lot less misc work involved than with 4 one hour sessions.

Awesome advice and feedback. Thank you for taking the time to respond meaningfully.
