I definitely would wait until after your time with her is over. She has her price which is usually non-negotiable and she shoulld service you properly for that amount.If you enjoyed the time with her and you feel she did a little something extra or special for you and you wish to thank her for it then tip her afterwards.I would think that she might look at the extra cash up front as sort of a bribe to do extra special requests.Besides,sometimes the ladies don't count their cash until afterwards.And suppose you tip her ahead of time and she disappoints you? You'll feel very foolish.

The only time I ever left an extra something in the envelope was the biggest mistake I made.  
It was an agency girl, from an agency that I new from previous experience encouraged "tipping".  In the past an extra $ got me treated very nicely.
This lady opened the envelope, counted it, and then requested more $$ for anything besides nice conversation, and $$$$ for anything I might actually be interested in (remember, this is over & above the upfront fee & the extra $ I already included).  I politely declined & we pretty much glared at each other for an hour.  It was only one of two times that I was happy to see a lady leave.

If I tip, I tip after...

Hi,

Auna Here...

Is it beneficial to include a little extra $$ right up front or offer at the end of our time together??

This is a great Q...

Many Gentlemen do not tip.  Some do, and the when of it is usually up to the Hobbiest.  Some Gentlemen feel that if they tip up front they will get better service...Some feel just the opposite.  The point being, This Q really can not be answered by anyone except the askee...So I will do something that I rarely do...How do YOU as a Hobbiest feel...Before, After, or Not at All??  

Provider Viewpoints on this...(mine included) vary as well.  Personally I will take an either or situation.  Irregardless of when the Tip is received I make a point of offering the chance to Tip at the end of every encounter...A simple Tips are welcome and not mandatory...or something of this nature is usually offered at the end of all of my sessions to give Hobbiests the opening and chance to Tip if they so choose to do so.

As to the Pros and Cons of Each...

This depends on the Provider that you have decided to receive services from. It also depends on how you feel on this particular subject.  It can be a sensitive one.  The real Q here is:

Is she providing the Best service that she can because she wants to...Or is she providing it because it is payed for...

I personally provide the best that I can...Irregarless of weather the individual I am with has tipped me or not.  I love what I do...But some ladies don't.

Then you have this Q....If you have never seen this Provider before...What is Considered Extra...and what does she consider a "Tip"??

Some Providers will provide a better experience knowing that they have already been compensated for the extra...And some will try to get you to tip more at the end And still others will try to offer more services, For More Money...irregardless of weather you already tipped...Some will try to Upsell, Some won't.

Most of the Gentlemen I have come across that choose to tip have been put in an Uncomfortable situation at least once with tipping up front...

SO...my personal recomendation...Go with your instincts.  If you don't know the Provider, Tip her at the end.  If you have seen the provider previeousely and are comfortable with tipping her Up Front..By all means Do.

Just be Safe, Be Comfortable, and Be Happy.

my .02 worth...

Ok, I understand you shouldn't tip BEFORE service is provided. Afterall, that's the whole point of tipping, to give a little extra after the fact.

What I'm trying to figure out is how do you supply the tip? After your session, should you just reach into your pocket pull out some money and hand it to her? That seems to "cheapen" the session to me. Is there a more discreet way of handing the tip to your provider that someone can recommend?
