I had some joker two weeks ago (young guy) who “acted surprised” when I asked him for money
Upfront and ‘realised he had forgotten his wallet but could do an online transfer’. I don’t do online transfers with new clients so I sent him packing. He looked and sounded dodgy as hell I might add, I’m 95% sure he was trying to pull a fast one.

Money upfront always, unless of course he’s a solid trusted regular.

DarcyLady. Nowhere was I being rude. I said classless as I'm going to go. Anyway,  I used to get tipped at least a third of my money afterwards in a country that you could trust men.

Boasting about how much money you get in tips, now that's classy 🤣

I don't get tipped much in this country.  I was illustrating how much I would get by taking my money afterwards.  Why so hostile?  I'm talking  about my experiences,  my wealthy men and a different country. Which you've never been to, so how would you know the way of working? It would be considered ODD and COMPLETELY CLASSLESS. If you know no better,  this way is normal, I agree. And necessary,  as the men are so dishonest.

Many of the male clients at SW5 - a much missed project for male and trans sex workers - used to leave getting the money until afterwards in the hope of ending up with more via a tip.

I was astonished at this. As well as ignoring the basic rule, they were men seeing other men and must have known from personal experience that what seems a good idea when you're horny does not always seem like a good idea after you've come. But male 'I can look after myself' plus greed makes for risk taking...

Every so often, one of them would get burnt as the punter went 'You know what, maybe paying for that sex wasn't such a good idea' to themselves. They'd complain about it to us and we'd have to tell them that there was nothing they could do about it. Did that ever stop them doing it? Ha.
