When is enough, enough?

Anyone else remember Iron John? One of his lessons stuck with me: "Don't show your gold.

A recent Escort of the Year, has taken me to dinner after our session, and though I offered, refused to let me pay.

I think we both hired the same escort... I took him out to dinner, then, when the check came, he grabbed it. It's the classiest and most impressive thing I've ever seen an escort do. It made a very good impression on me, needless to say.

As probably did I! I keep telling him that I own him a meal and he keeps saying that it's the other way around! I'll just have to figure out the best way to grab the check if and when it happens!

Some people might derive erotic gratification from buying gifts. etc. for their preferred escort. In the B/D community, there is a fetish called financial tribute - a sub paying money to a dom, sometimes a dom that the doesn't even know personally, for the erotic gratification of being taken advantage of by the dom, receiving nothing in return but the gratification of having done it. Buying an escort something off of his wish list might be financial tribute "lite." Or maybe it's nothing more than a nice gesture for a man that you consider special. I have repeat relationships with two different men. Even though I pay them, I consider them both very special men. I have only furnished anything other than the escort's fee and a tip once. One guy, I got together with in the afternoon, and we had breakfast together, off the clock, the next morning. I treated, and it was a special pleasure to treat him to breakfast, I have to say.

At the end of an outcall to my drab corporate housing in Chicago, a massage therapist handed back some of his fee, saying I should use it to brighten up my apartment.

better than buying you a toothbrush

Along these lines, many years ago one BDSM escort told me about a client who gladly cleaned his apartment once a week for the sheer pleasure of knowing that he was serving his Dom. The client was a big shot in a large corporation who needed to be cut down a few pegs. There was a barter for services involved if I recall correctly as part of the deal/relationship.
