I'm curious as to what other hobbyists tend to tip their providers.  I'm relatively new to this game, but so far I've been tipping $50.  The sessions I've had have all been great.  Is that high/low?   From what I've seen on other threads, it's hard for me to get a handle on what the standard tip is.  I've seen some guys say they leave an extra 20 (which honestly seems low to me) and I saw one guy mention that he tipped 100.  

Curious as to what you fine folks have to say....

Thanks!

Many Hobbyists don't tip at all. It is said "The best tip is a repeat visit."  
Some tip always. Some tip only for exceptional service. Some bring gifts. Some tip agency girls but not indies.

Whether to tip at all, as well as the amount if you do decide to tip, is up to you.

On a first-time date with a lady, I just have the standard contribution in the envelope and I will then have cash loose n my pocket.  If I feel that her perfromance was beyond her stated price realtive to other providers in the area, which mostly means if it was a wonderful experience emotionally in addition to sexually, then she will find that cash in the bathroom from when I got dressed afterwards.  

$20 cash is silly looking, but I am certain it is appreciated as a gesture if nothing else.  If you are going to go that low, then a $25 gift card to some "comfort entity" like Starbucks, Pizza Hut, Olive Garden, Bed Bath and Beyond probably works better.  At least there was some thought behind it.  

My ATF (26 dates and counting) is different, I compensate her about 65% above her stated rate and that is already in the envelope.  So you may develop that type of sugar-daddyish relationship with a provider eventually, I mean she has never asked me for a penny more than her rate but I WANT to support her on a different level.  

Take cues from your lovers.  My ATF recently mentioned that she started working out at a gym again, and I got her a FitBit One as a gift which she loved.   Cooking for a visiting lady is a nice touch as well, I have deliverd a complete crab cake meal and a complete prime rib meal to a provider in recent weeks, stuff that can be warmed up in the microwave in the room and it shows a nice personal touch and  the tupperware is easy to include in a bag with the envelope.

I don't actually tip so to speak, but where I'm at not a lot of quality local ladies, or at least I haven't found them yet. So I usually have a lady come visit from about 75 miles out for 2 hour or more dates, so I typically cover room and throw in some gas money as well. Would love to take her out to dinner as well but my luck I'd run into someone I know, I'm pretty well known in our little community. Let me rephrase that not prestigious or affluent just a crap load of folks know me and my wife by sight.

So apart from some safety rules, there are no hard and fast rules in this hobby...  

That being said, the example that "foreroticreview" has given is the worst example to follow. I treat providers who charge 300/400 per hour as highly paid individuals. Just like you wouldn't tip your lawyer, or doctor, or CPA, I don't typically tip providers. The system has worked fine for me for last 11 yrs of hobbying. It keeps the relationship professional, and that's how I intend to keep it.  

 
If you want to go over the top, you and "foreroticreview" can, by all means, go shopping together.  

But I will tell you this...Tipping is not necessary. I have never been asked for a tip, nor any provider has denied me next appointment because I didn't tip her. I have tipped twice in last 11 yrs...One time it was $50 gift card (for a favor she gave me outside of the hobby), and another time it was $150. The latter one was because the girl was giving me 50% discount just to make up her rent, and I felt bad for the poor soul....

don't over extend your time (unless you compensate her). Do all that and there's NO NEED TO TIP.

Well, he would NOT tip hookers, for Moses sake!!!  

He might hand with them at a well or something, but NO TIPS!!!

Save that shit for people who don't make a living wage without them.

Tipping hookers is for tools and it upsets the natural order of things. Spend that $50 or $100 on having your ass waxed or man's mani-pedi if you want to impress her, but stick to her rates when you pay.
