In my view, I see it as being dependent on one's own specific situation. Are you marketing yourself heavily and have a solid following to easily justify a price adjustment?  Are you travelling with some sizable costs over your head that need to be eaten before turning a profit?
To @Pensant 's point, I wouldn't be surprised to see an influx of fresh (and inexperienced) meat looking for some easy money in the next year +-.

This!!
I can't imagine being in a client's position, looking to jump in head first into an overnight situation with a provider who you've never met.  While spontaneity is great, it might bite you in the ass with a bad experience.  All my most memorable overnights started with a single appointment and grew out from there. My 0.2 satoshis would be not to rush an extended encounter before a first encounter.
Playing devil's advocate, perhaps the provider had a previous experience that didn't work out and is pre-emptively looking to mitigate any future issues.  Who knows!  Best way to know is to meet him and get an irl vibe so you know if he's genuine or looking to play you.

You sure about that?  I'm sure some are doing quite well actually 🤣🤣😉

To add to this, our costs, just like yours, are also skyrocketing. We have to operate in nice desireable areas (you probably wouldn’t come see me if I lived in south atlanta) and our rents are increasing 30-40% YOY as well. 
 
to think that we are immune to the factors affecting society just because we are providers is misguided. 
 
that said, I don’t know what will happen to business in the future. We all thought it would go away in the pandemic but the amount of requests I had changed very little. 

Rates will not go down.

I remember something similar happening to me, the client was clearly not mentally present and was staring off into space.  I later found out from him that he was in the middle of a messy divorce.  Turned out alright for him in the end and saw him numerous times after, much more present and HAPPY!  Sometimes you never know what's going on in someone's head and what they're dealing with... 😐

Tenga makes incredible products.
Highly recommend their stuff.

If you haven't tried Liviva brand yet, I'd highly recco.  Edamame and soy I believe are the lowest net carbs aside from the konjak 👍

With cannabis being legal here in Toronto, I have been asked about edibles as some use it as a sleep aid, which I get.  I also make custom edibles which are sometimes requested but as far as drugs go, that's the limit.  No smoking it near me as I have issues with smoke intake.  I also don't move forward with any new appts involving cannabis without knowing how they are on it and if it's legit prescribed for pain/sleep or just "lets pop an eddy and enjoy the ride" type experience. 
As with o/n's, it's important to get an idea of what experience / intention they have going into that type of longer session with cannabis specifically.
It just boils down to being responsible and taking care of your client on all fronts.

Just a side note to the beginners reading this…..this is WAY too much for you.
Take 1/2 of a 10 mg gummy and see how you feel. Wait at least 30 minutes
before you even consider taking more. An hour is even better. Then,
you can think about taking the other 1/2….but I’d still advise against it. 
Just trying to save you from a potentially very unpleasant experience.
I’m guessing @Axiom2001 is an experienced user.

No drugs on overnights. If a client wants to pnp or take drugs on an overnight then I’m not their guy. I’m not dealing with clients off their head etc. I think you’re right though, lots do want that. 

This guy clearly overnights, and gets it. Hotel, shows, workouts, etc (I rarely do in-home o/n's).  Not necessarily the best idea to jump into an overnight without having a prior session, or 2.

In my experience the company is really the reason for an overnight, not 12 or so hours of action. It’s about being with someone you feel comfortable with to chat, eat, relax, bathe, walk, and of course get intimate with each other over the course of the session. Clients book it as an escape from normal life. 

I can see that idea working great at some point, but I do have to chat with them to arrange a schedule. Namely because I travel between 2 to 3 different cities throughout the course of the month. If I can separate calendars location, that “could” work. 
 
But peoples schedules tend to be a bit flighty too. I almost had an “8 or 9 a.m.” appointment today that someone booked yesterday, but after a few minutes corresponding, it was postponed because of a miss-sight with his schedule. Because of the location he was, it’s not something I can do on short notice or even at all, unless I have a booking. So, the deposit part is in part necessity. 
 
However, I’m seeing it’s already been a hard time doing business where I am now. It seems like very few want to do deposits. I’m so over the old school way of thinking some people have: they want us to host, and be ready. Or get in a car and drive way out to wherever they are, and they want the option to back out or change their mind. Leaving me either with the expense of a hotel, or having given out my residence address to someone who doesn’t even show up. 
 
It makes me wonder what kind of mentality these people are fostering. General consensus being: they want someone who’ll give them the opportunity to fake book a couple of times before actually going thru with it. Not on my dime, or time. I know, because I see it when I haven’t done so. 
 
 

Again, you do you man.  This is a case of old money dying vs new money taking over where everyone can invest in and create generational wealth. BH & Warren Buffet is one example of the desperate attempt to keep the old system alive and old cats rich. It's a dying paradigm and he will never admit that crypto is a viable alternative to the current system for obvious reasons.  Crypto has too much momentum to stop it.  Countries are adopting it and incentivizing people to live on it/invest in real estate, etc.  Also might be noteworthy, Buffet's granddaughter is in the "new money" category and is a major proponent of crypto and NFT's. Another sign of the changing of the guard.
As far as use/utility goes, would love to see crypto applications being deployed in this industry like funds being held in a "2 of 3" multisig escrow service, where both the provider and client deposit funds.  The provider can see funds from the client in the wallet, sign the transaction and upon meeting, have the client sign and if for some reason the client bails or refuses, the 3rd party "mediator" signs the transaction and a pre-agreed amount is sent to compensate the provider for his/her time, eliminating no-shows or scams.  Benefit to the client would be equally as beneficial. Late/no-show? Pre-agreed amount sent to the client. Keeps everyone honest. 
You just can't do that with the current financial system the way crypto can.

Lol. True. But it's pretty close. 😕
