would check tp make sure they are getting what is thier due - like Donna Summers said -
"they work hard for their money".  I shorted a lady one time and when I realized what I had done I turned around and went back to make things right.  Talk about embarassing! Since then, before I leave I insist they count it so there would be no misunderstanding.

I do believe it has something to do with LE. I think most ladies dont want to touch, go near, count or mention any money in fear that something could happen.
I have another question though, why the envelope anyway? Why not just put the cash down in plain site without the envelope?

TL

As I understand things, without clear evidence of payment, or discussion of payment, adult activities between consenting adults are only that. So it makes a lot of sense to maintain as much separation as possible between the two.

I recall one lady I saw whose website made it clear that upon arrival the gentleman was to use the bathroom, and while there place an envelope containing the donation in the basket she kept on the counter. Upon the gentleman's return she then went to the bathroom to freshen-up -- which gave her the ability to deal with the fee out of sight and without discussion. Anyone not following her script was immediately told to leave -- taking with him any envelope, cash, or other gift that he may have made visible in any way. Seemed like a reasonable way to avoid misunderstandings, while attempting to provide plausible deniability, and possibly something more of the ladies should consider.

Especially if I am seeing someone new.  Just makes me feel better from a LE point of view.

Ladies who take the risk to see newbies should definitely check the envelope before the session. With respected members NO it's not proper etiquette to count the money in their face. I feel bad about what happened to Sloane, but clearly whoever screened that newbie clearly has no idea what they're doing. In this game we call the "Hobby"  there's about 15% jerks and 85% good guys, i say to the ladies don't let the 15% of jerks spoil the perception of all hobbyist.  

So that's pretty good odds.  I am one who doesn't want to touch the money until he's gone and I just feel tacky counting in front of the gent.  I figure if somebody bigger and stronger than me wants to stiff me, he can do it.  

I don't prefer the envelope so I can see.  LOL I can feel of a stack of 20's in my hand and tell if it's $100, 200, or 300!  LOL

I really hope the agencies use blacklisting.  It's very helpful.  OMG one guy went running out of the room with his shorts down around his knees when I came out of the bathroom before he got them up!  LOL I can laugh about that now.

You also want to be careful trying to request the money after the fact because nobody wants an extortion or blackmail charge either!  Word yourself very carefully when making requests to make things right.

To leave the 'envelope' in a different room than where we're going to 'play' just in case she would like to discreetly check.  It doesn't bother me at all.  The way I look at it.......it's one less thing for her to think about, so our time will be that much better!!

I guess if she has the time to put it away, than if the 'unthinkable' happens and LE raids our room, then the hardest thing for me to explain would be....How this beautiful, vibrant young lady picked up this 'old man' at the local watering hole for an evening of fun!!      

Stay safe & and be courteous,

...have my mistake or forgetfulness cause a problem. I want her to know I'm an honorable person that can be trusted to follow through on agreements.

fun to play with.
Smooches

Trust a two way street

Must be getting old and senile.  I visited a lady I had seen once before.  Well after I left 20 miles down the road I felt my pocket and had an envelope with money in it.  I called right away and told her I was turning around.  Her response was "You left me my gift".  I must have loaded up 2 envelopes.  If she would have said I cheated her I would have went back and been very embarassed.  Maybe she just didn't think very fast, but I like to think she was treating me like she wants to be treated.  And yes I have seen her several more times.
