It's a valid point about the toys they ve blown a fair hole in my bank balance aswell. Mind I would nt use it as an excuse to charge people for playing with them, I buy them because I enjoy playing with them hence I m not fussed to much about the cost. I'm sorry if you ask for money to play then you are a pro domme not a lifestyler trying to re coup your costs. i can't think of anything to say here | ||

If someone approaches me wanting to try needles / cuttings / staples/ sutures etc i'd expect them to pay something toward the costs of replenishing my medical box.( usually ask them to pay a few pounds or get me a new box of needles or gloves etc) I agree it should be a 2-way thing. However, i'd also be suspicious of anyone who wants a tribute before meeting.
Abstinence doesn't equal safe play.... knowledge does. | ||

Demand is not the right word to me. Demand conjures up the sense of being menacing. Whatever charge a pro makes, it is personal choice as to whether you want to see her or not based on her rates. You would not session with a Pro without finding out how much she charges first surely? That is not demanding in my book. The fact that she might demand that you polite and of good personal hygiene is a different matter. I agree with Morphia, especially if consumables are used, the cost should be shared if the Top is non Pro or the whole cost paid by the bottom that wants to engage in a particular activity that requires special equipment and asks the top to oblige.

We only expect tribute/etc when we are booked. That's it. It's a power exchange, we have what you want and vice versa. We would't ask for money to be wired into account etc, we meet, you pay, we play, simple!  | ||

On that, I prefer a tribute/deposit prior to a session, to prove both sincerity of client and of course the overhead of hiring venue....once I have a regular client the deposit side tends to not be necessary, although some clients actually want to pay something in advance to secure bookings.......you go to a gig, theater, cinema etc etc....you pay before you enjoy dont you?

Actually you do have a point with that; we had a booking with a seemingly great guy, we spoke for ages etc, but he didn't turn up and the dungeon mistress was livid with me, so now we ask him/her to pay the dungeon before hand, then the mistress will call me and confirm. x

The word tribute may seem ambiguous to newcomers to the scene but in the context of being demanded by a Pro Domme it means she charges a fee, the amount of which will be made clear to you on enquiring about the service you wish her to provide. Market forces of supply and demand determine that males are less likely to be able to charge for things which women are more readily able to obtain for free. I suspect the majority of males who charge on a regular basis cater to male customers. This theory is easily tested by asking women about the number of offers they get via memo versus men with similar wants in their profiles.
