Also, the occasional weird text from someone who thinks that because they're 18, you'll leap at the chance to snatch their virginity without charging them at all. :-X Fantasists aside, because of course they are more likely to be 48 year olds having a wank, I would actually charge more for seeing virgins because of the increased likelihood of immense awkwardness during the booking. I don't actually like to see anyone under 25, though, so not much risk of this really happening, thank God. But... eurgh. The things people seem to think sex workers would want to do for free/cheap really do astound me!

Yes, I had one young guy recently asking me for a discount because he's a virgin - I told him that BECAUSE he's a virgin my prices stay the same as I would work very hard to make his first experience memorable. Didn't hear from him again. Shame. ::)

DISCOUNT?? It reminds me of Ned Beatty in "Breaking Away" --'Refund? REFUND??!!"

The discount question is one of the most ridiculous. Especially when they offer to show me their student card... Mate, head over to Peacocks and have a blast waving that card around.

Don't really get the problem with that one - I do offer student discounts. Why? Because I'm running a business, and I'm based in a student town, and there's a lot of students daft enough to waste their student loans on drink, drugs, prostitutes and all manner of other things they don't need and can't really afford. Easy money :) Obviously if people ask for discounts you don't offer it's cheeky but if they've seen that some escorts do offer it you can't blame them for trying - when I worked in a shop that didn't offer student discounts we got asked that several times a day, because they figure it's worth checking just in case they're about to miss out on a good deal.

Yes I'm the same and did reply to my last "How much would you charge for a virgin" enquiry with something along the same lines.

Regards discount I'm not in a student/forces or any other discount group type area. I suppose I could offer tourists a discount but then how to qualify that one?

Over the years I've been asked to offer discount for the following;

18
Virgin
Student
Disabled
Forces
Emergency Services
Over 60
Disabled
Oral only
Regular client (even before the first meeting)
New client

Since a lot of the guys I do see fall into one or another of the above groups, I'd be offering everyone discount. So my argument is I keep my rates at the same level year in, year out and everyone pays the same. Alternative would be to increase and then discount back to current fees, but I prefer to be straightforward. Keeps it Simple, everyone on a level playing field.

I do give one disabled client I have a discount. Originally it was because he said he couldn't afford some heat treatment he needed, so I told him so stop spending money hiring me and spend it on the heat treatment! He said I was more fun, so I told him I'd do it half price if he saved the other half to get the treatment he needed. Needless to say he never has but soft as shit me still gives him half price! Tart with a heart! LMAO

I forgot to add to my list;

returning client
and
client who will become a regular(honest)
and
the recession

I suppose if you don't ask you don't know, which is fair enough - the only time I don't like it is when the asker gets funny about it.

I must get at least a couple of calls a day from complete strangers who conclude;

"...and so I will be making it a regular thing with you-at least once or twice a week..."

My answer is always the same, " Well we don't know about that yet as it takes two to tango, but if we get on ok, we can definately see about meeting again "
 or " Gosh, I am really busy with my longterm regulars already, but if I really like you I will definately try to squeeze you in somewhere" ( intentional pun usually lost on them )

  Just blasted to shreds their cunning plan of a  heavily discounted booking in which I work like a Trojan- giving services I wouldn't normally- in the hope of their "regular custom"   ;D

Offering discounts to enter my pussy? Sacrilege...    :-X

I don't think prostitution can ever be equated with any other business. I think it's downright rude of men to ask and I would hate to see it evolve into a trend where students, soldiers, elders and other "disadvantaged" market groups would expect to pay less for sex than anyone else.   >:(

We're already in a situation where a lot of clients expect OWO, CIM and A - levels, something they didn't really do 10-15 years ago. Why continue these trends of compliance to men's demands by voluntarily slashing our fees?

That's exactly my point. I'm a student. I get discounts from big corporations, but that's a different story. It's far too personal of a thing to cut my price because someone is older/younger, etc. It just freaks me out.
