Negotiating With A Client

The Basics

Stick to your prices and limits. There is no negotiation when it comes to a contract you make with yourself. Before meeting with a client, decide what you are, and are not willing to do.

 

Charge by the hour. It is illegal in the U.S. (outside of areas in Nevada) to charge by sexual act you are performing – so be clear to your clients about how much of your time they are paying for, whether they cum or not. They are paying for your TIME, not your BODY. You always have the right to deny requests that are outside your boundaries. Make the time limit clear to your client.

 

Prepare a hand-carried travel kit that includes condoms, lube, and napkins (or towel). You can also use this kit for storing your clothes when you are with a client – allowing a ‘single-grab’ should you need to exit quickly. Keep the kit within sight, either next to a bed or near the door. Avoid using backpacks or any bags with straps that go around shoulders or neck.

 

Sometimes, you have to turn down a client,, a particular request, or offers of payment below your standards. Trust your instincts and reject clients that give you a bad vibe or make you feel uncomfortable. Don’t let the immediate money outweigh your own safety.

 

Require your clients to shower or be clean ahead of time. If you arrive and they aren’t, suggest a shower with them as foreplay. This also gives you a chance to inspect the client for STDs, cuts, sores, or lesions in addition to making them more tolerable during sex. Plan your exits.

 

Always be aware of escape routes, and never let a client get between you and the nearest exit.

 

Try to negotiate out of anal sex by offering to let a client use your ass cheeks or increase the per-hour charge for the session.

 

Don’t negotiate or start a session when you are high or drunk. Letting customers know that you use drugs allows them to tempt you with drugs instead of cash for a session, which means you might lose out on the cash you need. Insist on getting paid in cash, not drugs. Be careful getting high with clients or taking food or drink from them – as it gives them more opportunity to take advantage of you.
