99% of my specials are only geared towards my "returning" clients.... I dont feel that I need to give a "special" rate (eg. lower) to someone who has NEVER seen me before or spent a dollar on me..
What I cant STAND..is someone that has NEVER visited with me in the past and has the audacity of asking me for a discount and or half off....SMDH Originally Posted by allofamber
I will tell you a good idea that I find works better than specials, and that is bartering. Many clients here are in professions in which we spend time and money. Take a Dermatologist for example....I can't tell you the number of free Botox and Juviderm injections I have gotten in return for free dates. One round of Botox for me is around $600, and the docs pay maybe $15 bucks for that.It's just me, but I would risk my professional license for $10,000 much less $600. I don't care how much you say you'll keep it quiet. Bottom line is the escort industry is filled with people you can't trust. And if they feel like they've been screwed, they'll not hesitate to report your ass.
I have also bartered for dental work, cosmetic surgery, and of course vehicles lol. I also know a few Chefs and Hotel Managers, which really do come in handy when touring. I even bartered for a case of tanning lotion once being the price was right. I got a six month supply at cost, for only one date. Originally Posted by London Rayne

I don't see the difference when one can still out them either way. At least with bartering he does not have all those -$400s out of his bank account lol.
Doctors, dentists, attorneys are all prevented from having sexual relationships with their clients under penalty of losing their licenses.
Now, hotel folks and used car dealers (you trust them, right) are free to barter. Originally Posted by charlestudor2005

All those professions have Codes of Ethics. One of the cardinal codes in each one is: you don't sleep with your client, or trade services with your client. Most of the professional organizations that discipline those in the profession are not hesitant to pull a license when this kind of conduct is found. Especially since it is tied to illegal conduct. At least in the cases I've seen.

I have bartered with one of those professionals before and it was all good while it lasted. Would I do it again? probably not.
Now, I'm sure it's a matter of how much risk the professional is willing to incur. If I were in his shoes, I wouldn't risk a lifetime of income against a few rolls in the hay. Originally Posted by charlestudor2005

His rep and job are still in harm's way if he is even caught being with an escort....bartering for services is the last thing that is going to be outed in that equation. He is not giving you a C2 Narcotic where a DEA number is associated with it. You can't prove that service was done, but you CAN trace back the trail of money he paid in cash.

Originally Posted by London RayneAh, but you're missing the point. If he has no professional relationship with you (i.e. lawyer/client, doc/patient) then whether or not he sees an escort is NOT ruled by the Ethics Code. It only comes into play when that professional relationship exists. And that is when the license is placed in jeopardy. And believe me, you cannot avoid the professional relationship just because you are bartering. If he is performing legal services or medical services for you, then the professional relationship exists.
Who cares if it is right, ethical, or wrong... The person that decides to barter with a provider knows full well what they are doing. It's their choice to make.
