What is the custom regarding escorts and tipping?
January 21, 2008
Do most escorts expect a tip? Do you usually get one?
It depends on the type of escort and how much he charges. Most hustlers and less expensive escorts (say, $150/hr and less) expect a tip. More upscale escorts ($250+/hr) don't expect tips. Escorts in the middle are somewhere between the two extremes - sometimes they expect them and sometimes they do not.
As a rule of thumb, you should consider tipping (or increasing the tip) if the escort:
- Provides high quality services.
- Charges less than you think he is worth.
- Travels a particularly long time to reach you, or sees you late at night or on a holiday.
- Gives you extra time for free, whether the time is spent chatting, having sex, or doing whatever.
- Fulfills any other special request you made (a sex act, bringing along sex toys/apparrel, etc.)
- Is someone that you want to see you again and treat you as a VIP in the future.
Keep in mind that tipping does not always have to be in the form of money (although that is preferred). Gifts are appreciated and will make you much more memorable in his mind. If it is particularly early in the evening, can also "tip" him by allow him not to orgasm so he can work again that day. Of course not all escorts will want to refrain from getting off, so make sure he has the opportunity to cum if he would like.
In my own case, my business and fee structure was developed to the point where tipping became a rarity even though I provided high-quality services. My credo for my own business was that tipping is "never asked for, never expected, and never refused."
Either way, keep in mind this is for escorts in the USA, UK, Canada, and other Western nations. Head to countries outside this area (Russia, Thailand, Brazil, etc.) and the customs will vary somewhat.
