Tipping Providers

[aiseeya]

90% providers I met charge 450 - 600/ hour....I never haggle on their pricing and that said I dont generally tip. 100% of their earnings are for their own account, safe to assume that they dont pay cut to anyone else. None of my clients ever tip me for my counsel lol

Though I would tip if provider go above and beyond providing services outside of agreed/ expected scope....I once tip 1k for a 4days trip.

May I ask where you’re located?

I find American clients are much more likely to tip. I think it’s just the American tipping culture. My British clients very rarely tip. If clients do tip of course I’m really grateful. Should they book again I’ll go out of my way to see them.

Wasn’t the way to handle merge requests already covered yesterday in another public thread. You don’t want to be seen as discussing moderator actions….

I’m tired of tipping all together for everything. Just tell me how much and let me decide if I want to pay

I've said it before and I'll say it again:

Set your rates high enough that tips aren't a thing.

I completely agree. As a client I prefer the provider just tell me what they expect as a donation and just let me pay.

I always tip my regulars. I aways tip providers who go above and beyond in ways that genuinely surprise and touch me.

I suffer from migraines. One night, rather than cancel, all I wanted was to nap, close my eyes and be held in the provider’s arms for two hours with the lights dimmed. I asked him to wake me up when the two hours were up and he needed to leave.

About six hours later, I woke up—and he was still there lying in bed next to me. When I asked why he hadn’t woken me, he simply said, “You were sleeping.”

He became a regular. And then later a genuine friend.

This is like the escort version of a Hallmark Channel holiday movie.

... But, even my cold, dead, two-sizes-too-small heart can find this pretty damned charming.

I’ve read plenty of escort horror stories on here—and I’ve had a few of my own. But rather than add to the pile, I thought I’d share one of my truly amazing experiences instead. This was one of them.

Hear here- I also tip when I get exceptional service and often send my regulars a little something for good karma. I’m not paying the high rates some of you posted- usually around 250/300 max so a $30 tip if he went above and beyond and did more than he had to is not a bad investment since in the long run he will likely remember that and be less likely to ask for a deposit or bust your balls over time etc in the future. If I were to pay over 400 for a session I doubt I’d tip unless he gave me every kind of orgasm known to mankind lolol

Since my hires are exclusively self-employed and set their own rates, I do not ordinarily tip. As others have said, it is up to them to set the rate they need/want, and it is up to me to pay it without question. I regularly patronize two regulars whom I value highly, see them often, book in advance, consider their schedules as well as mine, and write positive reviews on the booking sites and on here. On the very rare occasions when I have had to reschedule an appointment (two or more days in advance) I have done a 10% tip. My newest provider charged 5% more than provider #1, so I raised provider #1's stipend to match. In addition, I give end-of-year gifts to my providers, typically about 50% of their 90 minute rate, and also birthday gifts. 

They are giving me what they have...professional quality body work by a hot young stud. I am giving them what I have...cash, care, and any advice and counsel they may ask from someone with a lot of life experience. It seems to be working.

100% of whatever you agreed to pay the provider goes to the provider, usually without taxes. A tip is provided to a service worker, usually in gratitude and to offset an otherwise low hourly wage set by someone else. 
Your whole payment is a tip. If you want to go extra because you want to cultivate a good, regular playmate, go for it. But there is absolutely no Emily Post mandated requirement that says you ought to provide a little extra to a person who sets his own hourly fee.

I completely understand and respect that. For me, tipping is discretionary. There are providers who simply go through the motions, and then there are those who truly go above and beyond, exceeding my expectations. When a provider stays past the agreed-upon time or offers exceptional service, I feel compelled to tip as a gesture of appreciation.

I love to match a new guy’s rate to what I pay my regulars if I decide to add him to my regular list.

 

i tip 20% to my regulars for every session — my family runs a business that appreciates tips, so I just wanna build good karma.

I got a massage while in PV. The massage was absolutely horrendous.  But the extras ... the extras more than justified the 100% tip I gave 😹

Exactly, the entire point of a tip is to offset the low pay that the worker would otherwise receive (such as a server in a restaurant), or to thank them for doing something that is outside of their standard job description (such as lifting particularly heavy luggage).  That is the difference between tipping a masseur in a parlor who provides extras, and an escort who sets his own rate.

I hope the massuer gave you at least the tip as well 😈

I commented earlier in the thread and mentioned I appreciate getting tipped.    I received several "larger"  tips during the holiday season from primarily regular clients.    I'm always appreciative,  but I never allow it to impact the quality of the service provided.   I have a regular client that doesn't tip or rarely.   We talked about it once.   He just doesn't do much of that and I don't judge him or anyone based on their views.

[Guest]

I used to tip all the time, usually 20-30%. But then I realized no provider ever thanked me for it. So I stopped recently.

@boinllanview I assume we are only asking about "providers" of sexual services? Not masseurs ?

The past week, I texted a few of my regular traveling masseurs to wish them a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. I thanked them for meeting up with me the past year, and looked forward to seeing them in '25. They responded kindly, one even thanking me for the message - he appreciated being 'thought of' over the holidays. They each told me what travel plans to my area they were scheduling in the next couple of months.

Then there was a new masseur (late 20s) which I met a couple of months ago, and want to see again when he returns, though he was a bit pricey for erotic massage in this area ($250). So I sent him the same holiday text, mentioned something about the appointment for him to remember me, and again - told him I was looking forward to meeting up with him when he returns. He responded with a 'Merry Christmas to you!'  and let me know he was planning on returning to my area in a few weeks. Great...

Then he sent me another message a few minutes later saying this:  "Send me a Christmas gift through my Venmo. Guys send me my hourly rate as a gift. Thanks !"  Talk about being gauche...wow. That was a complete turn-off for me, no matter how hot and sexy he is. The more thought I give it, the more I'm inclined to cross him off my list.

At a charity auction I bought a “mystery” gift basket that had in it 25 Starbucks gift cards each worth $25 .

A lot of people hate Starbucks and think they make shitty coffee.

Oh--and I usually tip masseurs 10-20%
