Punt's tried a few things, but I don't like time-based arrangements due to the points raised by other pooners here about scheduling hassles, followthrough, incentive, etc. So I don't do the Magazine subscription thing. I prefer the loyalty program approach where rewards are proportional to participation.
Tried the 'Pay it Forward' approach. Double donate every second time. She definately liked this and it enhanced our depth of connection and elevated my status to 'strongly preferred' when booking, while maintaining a healthy incentive. Only downside was remembering which session I was on.
Tried the 'Frequent Fucker Card'. It was like socialism--great on paper, fraught with reality problems. The card would have to be kept, remembered to be punched or signed, and just plain sucks the romance out of a session. Hillarious to make one up tho!
The best approach seems to have been 'Take it Off My Tab', kind of like an all inclusive Cuntry Club which works on a periodic batch installment arrangement based on usage, and membership does have its priviledges! The good part is that You only have to think about donations every 3-4 months, and stagger the timing based approximately on activity level. It also helps us both not worry much about quantity, scheduling, remembering things, etc. OK, it took years to develop the mutual trust for this to work, but I think it represents a more mature life-style relationship.
If there is a clock or a calender, I hate it. If the is respect and rewards, I love it.
Good topic for duscussion. Thx OP.
