About to take my first plunge with a PS. Is tipping something that is standard or even needed?

Cheydog,

In my somewhat limited experience with porn stars who are working independently, tipping is usually not expected, but always appreciated.

From experiance of being with a pornstar.I've seen Nina Hartley.With what they charge for an hour I think tipping is not expected.But if you feel they went above and beyond the call of duty, well then it's up to you.

Regardless of a ladies rates, I think tipping is never customary. However, I think most ladies would be appreciative of any gent that goes above and beyond the call of duty. Especially in a case of an agency lady that has to split her hourly rate. Also, consider that a small gift is also a nice gesture. Many ladies appreciate a bottle of wine, perfume, flowers, (jewelry!) keep in mind that if you want to make an impression, it's the attention to detail that will do that. I had a guy call to book an appointment with Sinnamon that hadn't seen her in over a year and a half. But he was able to say that he had given her a special addition bottle of wine called "wine maker's hand print" where the wine maker had painted mutlicolor hand prints, (his own,) all over the bottle. Sinnamon instantly knew who he was and he escaped scrunity and was able to book right away.

If you'd like to build a relationship of sorts with a woman, (or her booker,) do something that will make you stand out. You can believe that most ladies mention during that followup call that you were really nice and tipped her or left a gift.
