Tipping an escort?

[Guest ManFan]

Looking for advice or history on how much to tip an escort. Is it always expected or is it solely based on quality of service?

tipping an escort

 

I have always found that you have to have chemistry with an escort first before it works at all. If you do have chemistry, tipping can (sometimes) ensure a better than excellent time. It shows that you appreciate what the escort is doing. But not all appreciate it. I never tip an escort that demands money upfront. In fact that turns me off, frankly. I like the option of doing it at the end and then I can decide if I want to give a tip. In most cases, when I do give a tip, the next encounter is even more exciting. It's like any other "service" -- you get what you pay for.

I don't get it.

 

I do not tip people who make $200 an hour.

 

If a guy works for an agency, I "might" tip him if his service was exceptional. But because he works for an agency, he's really cutting down his overhead in advertising and he's still in a pricey income bracket.

 

I know the escorts probably hate me for saying this, but I think to tip an escort is a signal that you're a mullet or just have a lot of money to toss around.

 

Now, if I hire someone for an hour and he stays all night because I'm so damned much fun, then my wallet will probably squeak open some more. :-)

RE: tipping an escort

 

I agree with tipping escorts that are affiliated with an agency. However, I do wonder about gifts.

 

I think it was Rod Hagen who said he's received gifts from clients, but what do you give someone who's (hopefully) just fucked the daylights out of you? A stuffed bear or cigars doesn't really seem to say "Thanks for the dicking." Unfortunately, an event with an escort (and I really try to make it an event, albeit short-lived) is something I really need to save up for and do not have the resources for monitary tips, but if they've really made it special for me I want to give something. Maybe a gold star for their lapel! :-)

 

Anyway...Rod, Mike, Sal, whomever...if you see this, what do you suggest?

 

Thanks.

RE: tipping an escort

 

I thoroughly agree with HooBoy about tipping. I work hard for my money and feel that someone who is charging $200 per hour is making a hell of alot more than I make. If, on the other hand, he provides services WAY BEYOND what is expected (such as staying 2 hrs instead of the requested 1) or something extraordinary (can't come up with an example at the moment), then perhaps 15% of fee would do.Maybe my strict requirements could be relaxed somewhat if he works for an agency. I have only tipped once. Escorts' fees are very high (is there anyone who charges less than $200?)

One decides to raise his rates, the others see it and proceed to also raise their rates and before you know it, the $200 has gone up to $250. Where will it end?

RE: tipping an escort

 

I am looking at this thing from a little different perspective

You mentioned that there is no reason to tip somebody who makes 200$$ per hour and more...well, don´t we all prefer to have an escort who is not worn out and has had 3-5 clients before us that same day??, As I experienced "classy" escorts , they don´t have more than one or two clients per day, this relativates the "high" income of 200$$ per hour.

 

I am working in the hotel/restaurant business and therefore I see not really a difference in the term of "service" into renting some time with an escort or having a nice dinner, drinks or such...

we are expecting good service and and if the service is better then average, we should tip....

 

We are living in a service oriented time, a guy who gives us morethan average sex, should get more , ....here is no place for romantic thoughts.....

 

I totally agree with the guy here who said, u get what u pay for...

All of us had at least one escort who just did his job....mechanical and not interested into special expectations of the client....so if there is anybody who is really offering total satisfaction for us, why shouldn´t we honour this???

RE: tipping an escort

 

I sometimes tip, sometimes don't, depending on lots of factors. If a young man has made me feel really wonderful, and it's going to make me feel even better about myself to show him that all the wonderful things I'm saying to him are serious, then I'll add another $50 dollars. But it's only with men I see regularly, or those who have just made me want to start an on-going relationship.

On the question of $200 an hour: Remember that the guy may have spent an hour or three at the gym to stay buffed for you, may have spent time shaving his chest and crotch so he'll be silky smooth for you, may be spending a half hour in transit as well as taxi or gas money. He has expenses to advertise and pay his cell phone bill. And I totally agree with the guy who said that it's better to pay a little more and have him see fewer clients in a day. (In fact, more than one a day is a real turn-off, even just to think about it.) Finally, the guys who deserve the tips are rarely he ones who leave after 60 minutes.

A first-rate guy who spends a total of four hours (at the gym, preening himself just for me, and making me happy) is worth the $50 an hour I hand him. And if my tip brings it to $62.50 an hour, it'll be because it makes both him and me feel good. That's my viewpoint. Others are equally valid.

RE: tipping an escort

 

The math here just doesn't add up. You could extrapolate this argument forever.... how do we know how many hours at the gym to throw in to the equation? Today's workout? Or all last month's? ....maybe I'm really only paying miniumum wage .....the bargain gets better and better. Nearly every job requires that the employee have transportation to the job site...but the employer isn't expected to pay for that unless it's out of town. And in every job, one is expected to look presentable, yet few people get paid wardrobe expenses or shaving expenses.

Lawyers charge $200 an hour and more, and no one stops and figures out their overhead to see how much they are actually taking home.

 

There's no reason for a client to care about the escort's overhead. He's just paying for the time that he is with the escort.

RE: tipping an escort

 

if an escort is outstanding, i do tip. as i tend to see outstanding escorts repeatedly, i have found they are often better the 2nd, 3rd or 4th time as they know they will be rewarded for an extra good performance. i think one of the best "tips" i give is to treat the escort like a person and not a piece of meat. between the monetary reward and being treated well, i have found that a number of these escorts go beyond their general limits. i wasn't sure of this until i read the reviews of several escorts i've been with multiple times and we do things together that other reviews say they won't do.i am a 50 year old guy in average shape so i do think i "turn" these guys on to make them more sexually adventurous.

 

as i have gotten friendly with escorts and gotten to talk honestly with them, most hate surprise gifts as they are usually something the guy can't use. they have showed me pieces of art that are truely terrible(but the giver loves), clothing that no one in their right mind would wear, etc. if you do want to do something, take the guy shopping and pick out something together; it can be a fun time and the escort gets something he really wants. this can be dangerous to your wallet so be sure you are specific as to what you will spend. you also have to know the escort well to do this. my first escort was a porn star, cory evans, where we went shopping and where i had planned to spend a few hundred dollars and ended up spending a couple thousand with the clothes he picked out(he didn't have a suit and he needed one for the resturant we were going to; of course it ended up he needed a shirt then a tie then shoes then socks-- you get the picture). cory was a real hussler but i learned. i have since taken others shopping an my expectations of cost have been met.

 

shopping trips aside, money is the ideal gift as one size fits all and is always appreciated. two final experiences. read my review of SHAMUS; he handed me back a $100 tip because he was a little late in showing up; what a guy and a fantastic escort. the other was TRAVIS WADE. i hired him at the gaiety; he was a real sex machine for me; litterly no limits and came buckets, a fantastic sex experience so i tipped him. i then met him the next month in dallas for an overnight; things went well and i tipped him again; for our next time together(a longer time period) he quoted a fee that was higher than i had ever paid but made it clear he would not accept a tip because of the fee. i did not tip that time because of his request (the sex was still over the top, he is a real sex "pig", not a bad thing for an escort). i found it interesting that these two times a tip was turned down or not wanted.

[Traveller]

Tip them if you expected 1 hour and they stayed for 12. Otherwise, no way. Treat them with respect, have lots of fun; and with my experience, the more they cost, the better they are, and their fee includes the works. Happy screwing. Remember, get laid, and often.

[Guest youngblood]

If I have a good experience with an escort on a first meeting and plan on seeing him again, I usually give him an extra $50. Thereafter, I pay the originally agreed upon rate, unless we go significantly beyond the agreed upon time frame. On several occasions,I have given $100 as a birthday or holiday gift.

 

If I ever feel that the escort is hinting around for a tip or gift, I am totally turned off and he is removed from my filofax ASAP!

[Traveller]

Absolutely. If there's even a hint of bucking for a tip, either the shirt won't get off their back or it won't be back on before the door closes. Only an incredibly lengthy sesh warrants extras. Play safe, hard and often.

TO THE PERSON WHO WROTE:"On the question of $200 an hour: Remember that the guy may have spent an hour or three at

the gym ( I DO THIS DAILY (EXCEPT WEEKENDS) to stay buffed for you, may have spent time shaving his chest and crotch so he'll be

silky smooth (SO DO I) for you, may be spending a half hour in transit as well as taxi or gas money.(I DO THIS DAILY TO GET TO WORK....I EVEN PAY FOR PARKING) He

has expenses to advertise and pay his cell phone bill.(SO DO I HOWEVER I DON'T ADVERTISE) And I totally agree with the guy who said

that it's better to pay a little more and have him see fewer clients in a day. (In fact, more than

one a day is a real turn-off, (I ASSUME THAT IS WHY WE HAVE SUCH HIGH HOURLY FEES)

 

I stand by my previous postings on tipping....and of course realize there are other LEGITIMATE opinions but AN ESCORTS' "PERSONAL EXPENSES" are not a reason to tip. NOBODY TIPS ME FOR MY PERSONAL EXPENSES.

RE: tipping an escort

 

Hooboy, I actually agree with you 100%.

[Guest Billyboy]

I ONLY see one client per day. I accept tips when given. But don't think less when they are not given. I agree with the posters here who say tips are not necessary. Add up $200 per day. Plus the experience to travel all over. I think that is a nice tip. The guy who see's me repeatedly is my tip. I like getting to know someone better and better.
