haven't read all the replies but I think different people may pay for different things. For example when I first got into this scene, my first SP was Totally Touchable Tiffany, and those who have spent time with her would likely agree that she's pretty hard to top. I remember spending hours at a time with her. The second get together I had lasted 3 hours and we were suppose to have a nice hot bath together and never got out of the bedroom..The third time was also a three hour love fest.
But you know what, after a while I wasn't looking for an SP, I wanted someone who did this part time or was new, not sure why, but I just felt more connected with that type of woman.
Anyway, for the last 5 years (on and off), I've been seeing the same woman over and over and over again, certainly we've seen each other upwards of 50 times, and guess what? we really know each other.
I definately know what she wants in the bedroom and outside of the bedroom, even though we don't see a lot of each other in that setting, we've definately had the occassional meal together and over all we're fairly connected.
In terms of compensation, I just booted her $300 today because she said she was a little behind on her bills.
But it's not a tit for tat arrangement. She'll often contact me saying she wants to meet up..and she's come to really appreciate my magic hands on her butt, which considering how beautiful it is, definately works for me.
When we do meet I don't feel obligated to give her any $$ because we both know I'm way ahead in the dollars for sex calculation, but if I have it to spare, I'll give her something..why not? And she returns the favour by always spending a couple of hours with me at a time, she drives in from the suburbs, picks me up and I pay for the hotel, we shower together afterwards, and she drops me off. And I know beyond a doubt that she enjoys herself.
So this is an arrangement that I'm sure is out of the norm, (In fact I think on some level we may be co-depend on each other) but works for both of us.
