In general what is the avaerage tip for a hour session?

I don't know, but what I know is tipping is not necessary and my tipping is about 20-40%(but not always). Also, you can find other threads.

for tipping.  This subject has been discussed a multitude of times.  Many guys like me do not tip, but bring gifts.  Feel free to PM me if you want more info.

Waitresses and hairdresses, valets, and other service professions rely on tips to supplement what is essentially a paltry and unliveable wage.

Providers do NOT suffer from this condition. Our rates are set at a level that allows us to make a very good living on our rates alone. Even agency women who give up a portion of their rate to the agency are still able to make an excellent living.

You don't tip your doctor, accountant, or lawyer because there is no need to. They make enough money on their fees/salary. The same is true of escorts.

If and I stress IF, a lady really goes above and beyond, and you want to acknowledge that with a tip, then something in the 15% range is appropriate. Absolutely never, ever simply include a tip in the envelope itself. All that means is that you paid a higher rate for her service, sight unseen. If you decide to tip, its ok to hand her the tip after the session is over.

Finally, if she asks for tips, or explains that the rate quoted simply gets her in the door, or that she works for tips - bail, and write the review. She may be calling it a tip, but what she's really doing is demanding an additional service charge, and springing it on you when you are, shall we say, at your most vulnerable

The best tip is often considered booking another date with the lady.

I left a bigger than usual tip on my last session for accomodating a fetish request and for also being so understanding in my attempts to work around my (chronically unemployed) roommate's schedule and was rewarded with a 2nd session on the spot even if the tip was nowhere near that amount.

It's something I learned from my mother who was almost always a great tipper though I am not really sure what she would think about this.

The only time I tip is if the lady is working for one of the low rent agencies and getting 100 a pop. Then I might slip in an extra bit if the service was good.

Otherwise I do not tip.

But I do give the occasional nice gift in appreciation for great attitude and service.

usually from the lady's gift list -  I'm not a mind reader lol

This is a business far more personal that most any other. The interpersonal connection makes it or breaks it for me more than the physical part or the looks.

Agree a tip is NEVER required but if you walk out of a meeting feeling even better than you expected there is nothing wrong with a tip.

Having said that I prefer giving a gift instead, but that's me.

Not a long term "pro" at this, but here's my take:

I don't tip.  These ladies make a good wage for their time, and have asked for what they want.

On the other hand, I'll gift.  Will not do again until I know the provider well enough to know what interests her.  First gift was a gift card to a high end store, figuring it was a "safe bet", only to find out later it remained unused for 5 months.  Ugh.  Second gift of $$ was not given after a lackluster performance (nothing as bad as being turned down for morning sex by someone you're paying for it on an overnight because they've "got to get going"!!!!), and was instead spent on another provider.  The lack of a 5 minute blowjob that morning cost her a nice $300 gift on top of the $2500 already spent.  I was then at a point (and knew her financial position was at a point) that a $ gift made more sense than a gift of a material nature.  However, she (at that time) was taking my generosity and our comfort level for granted, and "GFA'd" (Girl Friend Attituded) herself out of a nice gift. Make me feel bad about me, and there will be "no soup for you". That cash subsequently went to another provier that left me feeling like a champ!

The next time I felt like giving a gift to her some many months later, I knew about her, and was a completely unromantic or sexy gift I thought she could use in both her personal life and business.  I spent $160.  You'd have thought I gave her a 1 carrot diamond ring!  As with any woman worth giving a gift to, a gift with some thought behind it is far better than any expensive gift without thought.  I know that contradicts much of "the hobby", but it is my philosopy.  I'll give a gift from the heart when it's warranted and I feel it will be appreciated.  I won't "tip" someone making $100k a year.  I work my ass off (and make good money), and nobody tips me, nor is it expected.  Small gifts from people who know me and what I like are, however, cool as hell.

Tips not warranted, IMO.  Gifts okay, but only after you get a feel for a person and what suits them.  Anything else, in my limited experience, is money pissed away, and largely unappreciated.  Until you know someon, repeat business is the best "tip" they'll get.

im a provider and i dont ask for tips unless the gentlemen has a fettish or would like to speak some languages that requires a tip

Here is an idea that works wonders for me... Have a Victoria Secret gift card in your wallet. Break out that baby if you feel the need after the session. If she is one of your ATF's, a Gift Voucher from Agent Provocateur will guarantee that you will be treated EXTRA special..

I never expect a tip, but lately I've been getting tipped pretty frequently.

My tips range from 50$-200$. (my hourly rate is 500$)

You don't HAVE to tip, you should only tip if you really felt like you had a great time and it's worth leaving a tip. Also, I think if you do tip, you'll get better service the next time. I always remember/and really appreciate who has tipped me something extra.

Thanks guys.  I've been searching this discussion board for information on tips.  This is the only string I've seen so far that had numbers on it.  

Extremely helpful.
