Timewaster.  And fantasist.  What makes him think hes such a stud he can go for 24hours anyway? (the cocaine, etc prbably)

It would take a shed load of red bull, pro-plus and lube to get me through a day like that.  Goodluck with that one.  And make sure he offers food and fag breaks, tell him your part of a union hahaha

Get half the fee as a deposit upfront if he's serious.

I agree that these sort of requests usually come from timewasters, but I think a 50% deposit is pushing it. I'd say ?50 is enough to tell you that he's serious. I like amazon vouchers for deposits (be aware that they don't go through instantly), or if you don't mind losing a cut you can sign up for gayswap and create an item for sale. If he doesn't want to pay a deposit that doesn't mean he must be a timewaster, suggest that you have a shorter booking first. Personally, I won't do any longer than an overnight with someone I haven't met before.

I've had overnight bookings with people I hadn't met prior to it. I guess I've been lucky because they've all worked out fine. I had one two hour extend to an overnight. We just stopped, ordered room service and he paid me the rest before we re-commenced. So they can work. Then again I'm a good actress and I could use the whole evening talking about the client. As long as I'm fed well,lol.

I had an overnight in Scotland a few years ago. Although the customer had seen a wg friend of mine when she toured Glasgow, I asked for ?100 deposit, the airfare to be paid, plus the hotel room, before I set foot outside the door. That was about ?300. My overnight at the time was ?600. That was no problem.

I disagree (it's rare that I do) with Ani-Mae. If he is serious, he'd have the money to hand to send to you. If he's done it before he'd understand your need for security. If he could afford it, I don't think ?50 is enough of a detterent.
But if you're leaning towards not doing it, then my opinion is moot anyway. And I also think he's a timewaster.

He has made it quite clear that he wants to be fucking me the whole 24 hours, Do you think he's a timewaster or that it sounds more trouble than it's worth?

even on coke, I dont believe anyone can stay up for 24 hours straight fucking. Viagra has a warning label stating if you happen to be 'erect' for more than 4 hours, consult a doctor!

Its my experience most guys cum much sooner than the entire hour let alone 24. This guys a complete time-waster...you have to know them when you see one. If it sounds too exaggerated than its probably not true (unlike my stories).

And by the way, everyone...I have been around enough to know coke does NOT keep you hard all night. It does just the opposite!

I dont believe it. I dont even believe the guy would be able to come up with 500 bucks to send, with the risk of someone just running off with it. Shit...I'd take the $500 and kiss the other half good bye if I could get out of a 24 hour long session...Even if he had the 500 to send, I cant think of anyone who would actually do that for a 'stranger'.

But, a good way to let him know you're not up for BS, ask for a deposit. If he doesnt, you know right then and there its not worth even waiting. Dont entertain that guy, Benny. $1,000 is the 'typical' range for a Grade A timewaster. They never book.

If there's significant travel or expenses involved then you need more, but I'm assuming that it's a fairly local job. A serious punter should have enough money available, but I think it would be reasonable for someone to be wary of sending ?500 to someone they've never met, especially since Benny is new on the scene.
If you feel that you need to have a few hundred pounds in advance before you're happy agreeing to something then it's worth the risk of losing the job, but I do think it would put some genuine clients off in this sort of situation.

I do agree with you up to a point. Clients can see positive FRs going back to 2002 on my website, so they know that I've been around for a while and I would have no qualms about asking for half my booking fee upfront. If I lose a customer because of that, that's fine. There's more customers around the corner.

But I still maintain that anybody that's willing to spend 24hrs on a booking wouldn't be deterred from wasting ?50.

. I've deterred a few people with requests for ?20 and ?30 deposits (not for long bookings), and no-one's yet paid and then let me down.

As you state, not for long bookings. Different kettle of fish.
