I'd love a great NEW thread on the subject, especially in light of the recent WSJ article on the matter and two state Attorney Generals stating that the relationship is so intertwined within the boundaries of common law arrangements (if both parties are single) that although they have a difficult time prosecuting the arrangement as prostitution, their offices are ATTEMPTING to award settlements to the females as though it was a common law dissolution when the arrangement ends . . . Of course this is posturing (for the media . . and) to simply to dissuade the practice of SD/ SB relationships within their jurisdiction as a whole, but damn, if they actually pull that off, it may END the practice for a lot of gentlemen.
Food for thought.
Kisses,

Anyway, the few folks I've known who engaged in that sort of arrangement aren't tooo far off the above advice, which I'd "rec", but hit Like instead. Anyway, unless you're Charlie Sheen or have access to that sort of cash box, the rising expecations of the relationship generally lead to deterioration... emotions become involved... boom.
Also, it seems like when it doesn't go that way, it just becomes an extended provider/client relationship with a regular bank withdraw, much like you'd set up an auto payment for your car insurance etc... with some extra gifts thrown in when you wanna play spoiler.
As will all things involving money...
caveat emptor or YMMV
In some cases a real GF might just be easier! Try your local college campus and drive something nice... lol.
