I don't upcharge for different activities but IF I were going to do hard play and be submissive? Oh, I would charge prime rates. Especially with what I've observed with all of that. But I do not offer submissive play, not officially.
Otherwise, a little hair pulling or butt smacking just feels good while you're in the moment.
I've never considered charging different rates. As a very experimental type anyway, it just adds a little something.
Doing alternative play is more expensive, for us, in other ways, though.
I do spend a lot of money making sure that I have new anal toys, different lubes, handcuffs, good shibari rope, canes, floggers, fuzzy blankets to feel good when covering someone up ... just a lot of different costs associated with kink appointments.
I considered a different rate and a lot of ladies do that. I guess with such a glutted market, I like the fact that I offer an affordable time with a lot of options.
But that's just me.
If I had to do it over, I might reconsider my rates. But only if I created a completely different personae for the one. It would be too confusing for my client base to offer two sets of rates for "elisabeth" and with it only being determined by activities.
You're paying for my time when you're with me.
Really good topic. Thanks!
Sincerely,
Elisabeth
