How can a spanking be worth £150? (88)

ROTFL

a tart is not just for Christmas

I've always found that Ladies in the scene mostly tend to charge the same rate in the same area.

For example, every now and then someone new will think they're made of gold and charge far more than other Ladies in the same area. Usually, they find they have to drop their prices to be in line with others or else they don't get any custom.

The opposite is also true. Occasionally someone comes along who wants to start a price war. I had a woman who openly declared she didn't like some things I said about her (TO her) and was going to run me off the scene. She started offering cut-price sessions and stated that she wasn't ripping anyone off, unlike me and certain others. However, once she realised (took a while - not the brightest star ) that people weren't listening and that she wasn't getting everyone else's clients running to her, she put her prices up to the same as everyone else's.

As someone else has said (sorry, can't remember your name), barristers charge around £500 per hour; some a lot more. It's a case of supply and demand and those who are good at what they do will always have people who will pay a reasonable amount for their services.

ProDommes provide a service that isn't available on the high street. It's something that is extremely personal to people and it's an inherent part of their psyche. Without it, they are not fulfilled. This is why Dommes with a background in psychology are often among the most successful. It should be available on the NHS, as it is in Russia, where they prescribe a caning to help with depression.

So until someone opens a DommesRUs shop, rational Dommes will charge what they need to. Some people complain online, yes, but the vast majority don't.

Same old story ( yawn) OP been on here for five minutes,no network, slagging off Pro rates etc

My advice, and I don't charge for this.....investigate your local munch/scene, meet real people and just maybe you will get someone to do it for free.

78 replies when I posted.......not bad for a cage rattler!

humm, well, 3 replies! I would think this was related to the topic as it developed but there you go. I'm sure like 99.9% of things discussed it has been covered before but maybe not by the same people or experiances may have changed.

£150, yes, that does seem like alot to get your bottom smacked but then I don't earn 6 figures. Maybe it's priced to appear 'exclusive' and to attracked 'up market clientel'. Who knows?

Very old saying in sales, 'if you don't ask you don't get'.

Lots of people know. Instead of using terms such as "seems" "maybe", etc, why don't you stop speculating about the whats, hows and whys of the scene and get out there? The answers to your questions are far from Secret Society Sworn Secrets. But that'd may prove too disappointing and you prefer to believe in conspiracy theories

Oh, we meet with enough people into this stuff, just not particuarly interested in large gatherings. Not sure where you get the conspiracy guff from though. As for the rest, well, ment as retorical really.

It's a pity people are stuck on this £150 bit ... most Ladies outside London don't charge that much as their overheads are lower.

I have to disagree that the "need" for CP eventually will disappear ... it's genetic and inherent; it won't ever disappear, although if a person is happy in general then their needs may lessen.

I see one person who is schizophrenic and who uses CP (severe caning) as a way to stop the voices in his head. I have met with his psychiatrist who agrees it is actually more effective than medication ... when the voices tell him to hurt himself, he gets caned (thereby hurting himself) and the voices quiten for a while. When they become unbearable again he simply has another dose of the cane. A very simplistic description for reasons of discretion, but should be enough to give the gist of what I mean.

Now before people jump in, I am NOT citing CP as a cure for schizophrenia - it's not. But, if it helps this chap, then I really don't see what is wrong with that.

Most people with an interest in CP find that, once they have played, the catharsis lasts for a while and their desire to play/look at pics etc. diminishes. When it becomes obsessive again, they have another session.

Another old chestnut

Of course there are people who earn lots of money who visit pro dommes. But the majority of us don't - we save, we treat it as our luxury etc etc - if we can

In my case it's my treat to myself - if I earned anywhere near six figures I tell you I'd be sessioning every other day

Absolutely. People who see pro-Dommes come from all walks of life. For some, the tribute doesn't make a dent in their finances; others need to save for two months. The only thing they all have in common is a kinky mind. I've sessioned with gentlemen in Savile Row suits and builders in muddy Caterpillar boots. Variety is the spice of life!
