extended time pricing

[arnie]

I was reading one escort describe how much time it took to get ready for an appointment, clean up and either clean up his place or travel, even nearby, and it set me to wondering why guys usually charge as much for the second hour as the first. As a price sensitive customer, I might be able to come up with the money for a discounted second hour but just can't afford a full hit. I was wondering why it is not to your benefit to discount a second hour

I discount a second hour.

Suppposedly there's enough people willing to hire them for a second hour even if there's no discount, and that covers the losses, both money and time.

Or maybe they're wrong and do lose, who knows. But, and do with that what you want, without discount they will always have a higher money/time-with-client ratio.

 

Anyway, how much time it took for him?

Rate schedules often reveal companion preferences and proficiencies. Always take that into account when pondering a session with a provider.

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 generally book for two hours and am always appreciative if my companion sets a lower amount for that second hour. That way I can have tip money to end up making it the full amount. Everyone ends up with a smile on their face (once they have wiped the cum off).

Glad that you fleshed this out for the OP. When a companion tells you how he excels or what he prefers, stick to his wheelhouse......OR choose another provider. Scheduling a companion outside of his best skillset leads to unremarkable or unsatisfying encounters.

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?

Keep your hours. I see those as a buffer in between longer appointments and ONs. Also, the small hour appointments can take a trip with small profit, to a sizeable one.

 

I offer additional hour discounts, and this discussion is making me think I should post that in my ad. I too enjoy the 2-4 hour appointment range. I feel there isn't a sense of being rushed on either end. Plus, both parties gain more of a connection with the longer appointment.

Discounts for multi-hour sessions are pretty common.

It is my belief that an outright statement that you offer additional hour discounts would definitely encourage multiple hour engagements. If for no other reason that a client would not have to dread the embarrassment (or whatever word you want to use) of opening up the conversation about them.

[Marcus G vulcan]

Also take into consideration the escorts travel expenses if they have a car service or have to drive to said location parking gas etc. Not to mention for those who have to set up an "in call" location to fulfill the desired experience.

 

I don't want to be rushed getting to know you as if it is a speed dating thing. I want to experience the "um, I don't know, giggles" that makes the connection great. Build up rthe connection of feeling mutual comfort enjoying each other. Making both you and I Both feel special about the time spent together.

 

So yeah I book for 2hrs as a start. Depending upon the experience there could be a discounted rate for additional time. I have my regulars who want the extended time and automatically book for that and others who are gone within 2hrs and others who book for half a day at that alloted rate.

[BlakeBenz]

I discount the second hour.

[FTM Zachary Prince]

Interestingly, I met many clients during my winter USA tour over the last month but none of them booked an hour. I guess my pricing structure is doing its job... everyone booked 2-3 hours.

[TruHart1]

As a client, I have many regular escorts who DO charge less for the second and third hours. A few of my guys actually charge only half their hourly charge for the second and third hours! In addition, over the five years I've hired a number of my regulars, none of them have ever raised their fees for our sessions from what they charged me originally, though they may be advertising higher rates now than when I first hired them!

I hire an escort for an hour and then pick up the tab for lunch or dinner afterwards. We have talked about this and he is satisfied with the arrangement. Beside the business arrangement we are good friends. I am careful not to breach the boundary and expect free sex based on the friendship.

I will say that a mention of discounts/packages for additional hours definitely bumps an appealing gent to my priority list.

But buyer beware and read the fine print. Recently had a "famous" porn star escort who responded saying he offers discount on multiple hours, but quoted me a 2 hour rate that is exactly double the single hour rate. Apparently multiple hour starts after that ;-(

Unless the "fine print" said "Discounted rate starts with a third hour" or something like that I would pass over him based just on that. That is an asshole. One can imagine what your date would be like.

Given his positive reviews here I went with a 1 hr. It was good and he does have a smoking body but definitely an act for him, and no attempts at connecting as human beings. Which is fine and just means no repeats for me. He has his motto for his business, I have mine.

That isn't an uncommon arrangement. The multi-hour rate is operative after the first two hours.

[LaffingBear]

As I reflect on my rentguy history, Ive hired one-hour, overnight, full-day, and longer. Never two-hours.

 

And, Ive never even noticed an advertised rate for anything other than the hour-rate. I just asked "how much for XYZ."

 

I only hire for one-hour first time. If I wanted another visit, two or three hours, I'd ask him "how much for a two hour?" And then I'd defer to my standard - its either worth it to me, or not.

 

For me, its better to explain what I want and let him quote a rate.

 

My longer session desire might be dinner, hang out a while, some play, sleep together, a little morning fun, goodbye. I know from chatting with rentguys, there are overnight clients who want non-stop sex sessions, lasting hours. No judgement of them, but I don't. He can factor my desires into his rate.... because once he quotes a rate, I won't haggle.

 

Theres a new rentguy I just met, and I'll be exploring longer sessions. I have no idea what his longer session rates are.... I'll find out what his rate is for what I want.

Wellllll... maybe yes and maybe no. There is a smoking hot Latino who rolls through town once or twice a year. He's a bit of a hustler, but he is so transparent about it that I don't find it offensive. I know who I'm dealing with and what I will get. His model is $300/hr for the first two and anything over that gets reduced to $250/hr for all the hours. ( 3 hours = $750) The sweet spot is obviously 3 hours. I'm not going to pay $600 for 2 hours when I can get that third hour for $150 more.

 

Is it the most generous business model I've seen? No. But it works on me and knowing that he's a bit of a hustler doesn't mean he under delivers. He is sweet and sexy and fun during the agreed-upon time.

What is the difference between a hustler and an escort? The terms are synonymous to many.

Not exactly. They're both male sex workers. "Escort" is respectful. "Hustler" is pejorative.
