Picture?

Sorry, but this sounds very naive to me.  You don't charge sometimes and you even let them take pictures?  I really hope you are making good judgments and won't get taken advantage of.  If you are not comfortable charging, ask yourself if you really want to be in this business.

Don't let strange men take pictures of you LMAO. They're probably online by now. You are doing a disservice by not charging him to every provider out there who doesn't believe in that:read 90% of them. Youre too warm and fuzzy and naive for this. If you want to make people feel good, volunteer at a soup kitchen. This is a business, if you don't treat it as such they will walk all over you.

Huh?  Do you consider these men to be boyfriends?  The money is important for many reasons.  When someone pays for my time it establishes a boundary for both of us.  He knows I'm not going to call and complain because he didn't remember my birthday, and I know what to expect from him.  

I think you are foolish in believing your client will help you whenever you ask for it.  And the pics are not a good idea either.  How do you know what you client does with them?  Do you know what his life is really like?

Providing is a business

though it can be a fun business its still a business and if you dont charge then you are soon to go out of business

the pictures, wow thats a whole can of worms that can come back to bite you in th ass in soo many ways its not even funny

As others have pointed out, the pictures could come back and haunt you; especially if they are graphic.  Now, if the pics are like two tourists posing arm-in-arm in front of a land mark, then no big deal other than your face is there for all to see.

Not charging?  Not a good idea.  Some day you may need to money more than you obviously do now.  A better arrangement might be to extend the time (i.e. he pays for an hour and the date lasts 2 hours).

You either charge them or you are dating/having an affair with them.  You aren't providing.  That's not to say you can't throw a freebie to someone who has seen you 20 times or discount a birthday service for a regular supporter - but NOTHING in the way you describe.

OK I'm a guy but I think it is nice that you can have a relationship that is a little more then just a client.  If this is happening with lots of clients it may be bad.  I pay to have an experience with a woman that is more then I can otherwise have as a married man.  I appreciate a little more enjoyment while still needing my secret protected.
