I didn't get a chance to read all 14 pages of posts, but I'm glad I found this thread! I've grown very irritated at potential clients who feel the need to try and wheel and deal the situation. My rate is the way it is because that's how much I feel my time is worth. Always a good time too if I might add :P
Recently, I had a client ask me how much my donation was, gave him the answer and he replied with; "That's alot and only worth it if I can do anal bare back"
..........uhm...........gross...no amount of money is worth losing my health in anyway..basically I told him not to contact me again, which in turn...he then called me a "Whore" not sure where these people come from...but its shocking someone would resort to any sort of name calling especially to the person your asking to have an intimate service with.
Fortunatly I've resorted to just blocking such clients from contacting me because I dont feel like I should be degraded in such a way that they feel like I'm only worth the money if they can stick it in with no protection...again....gross...
That was my lil shpeel :P
