A fellow hobbyist and I recently had this discussion.  

For the guys, how often do you receive a thank you text after a session?  Is it important or could you care less?

For the gals, do you regularly make it a practice to send a thank you text?  Is it something you think of as either good etiquette or as a good business practice?  Or do you think it is totally unnecessary and don't bother?

I, for one, notice when a girl doesn't send a thank you text.  Often means I will not do a repeat.  Seems like a manner of common courtesy.

So it would be nice but I don't expect it, besides I typically send a note to the lady.

75% of the time among those that have my phone number. Some will include a sexy photo with a "Come back soon."  Nice touch.

A thank you note has no bearing on my decision to repeat.
Chemistry and performance determine that for me.
Not sure if I ever received one; if so I've completely forgotten it.

If its important to you then its important. Really says nothing more than the lady is a good marketer. What is said or not said before you leave is what's important.

I've received a number of thank you calls and texts after a session, but the goodbye kiss & thank you in person at the end of the session is fine. Not receiving a thank you call or text after a date, would have no bearing if I would repeat.  

Aside from the excellent marketing, it makes the head get bigger. Nothing like like the next day text telling me what a great time she had and would luv to see me again soon. Very few locals are good at this. I have found that some of the high end Vegas girls are much better with the thanks you. One in particular kept in touch for three days after our tryst and guess what, I'm going to repeat big time. Keep in mind that some ladies do not do their own texting so it would be unlikely a thank you would follow. Like Dontask used to say, ladies throw an old dawg a bone and he will come running back to you. Cheers.

So I don't need my ego stroked. I paid for her time not her gratitude. The best thanks I can get is good service. And maybe an agreement to see me again if things went well.

srsly dude, i've never ever gotten a thank you AFTER i've left the premises.  i myself have often sent a thank you to the lady telling her what a nice time i had and have always received a warm response in return (except once).

but that's kind of like expecting your dentist to send you a text thanking you for your business after he cleaned your teeth.

maybe a christmas card once a year, but jeez, is your dick made out of gold or what?

personally i assume the lady's thanking me with her mouth as i lay back during the session.  no need for a follow up text.

i do have a couple of regulars that i stay in contact with (text and/or email) even without a scheduled appt.  but they are women i see on a regular (or at least very often) basis.

but this is, above all else, a business transaction.  a thank you text after the fact might be a nice touch, but it certainly should not be a determining factor in whether to repeat or not.

really, you're going to repeat because you want another thank you text?  can't get enough of those texts?  lol!

just my opinion.

But then again I don't expect one from my Dr., mechanic, plumber....

@Phi68psi:
I personally always try to send a quick thank you text or an email, if I have that,  
as soon as they depart out the door.
However, if I'm headed out as well thereafter, and am pressed for time, if I miss that
 "window of opportunity", then I'm hesitant to do so simply because I'm rarely  
informed as to whether the phone they carry is a "throw phone", or personal.  

Sometimes, I get an immediate response.  Sometimes I get a later email.
On the very rare occasion, I get "crickets", when I damn well know we had hours of intense
connection, but that "window" has closed.  
The throw phone is back in the workplace locker.

Should I send a later text, which could be read by the gents S.O.?
The answer is a resounding "NO"!!
I certainly wouldn't desire to be the wrench in the proverbial Hobbyist's extracurricular activities!
All hell may break loose, and it would be my unfortunate fault.

"I was raised by my Mother to be admired", and I always display proper manners and etiquette.
However, in this instance of showing my appreciation for one's visit,
I throw the question back into your lap @Phi68psi, {this is a great convo-starter Sir},
and to others;

Do you care?  Does it influence your return?  
Is it like purchasing drive-thru food at the local Ruth Chris, where you've had your exquisite purchased meal, and you're on to the next varietal delicacy?  

Do you expect a discount coupon upon the next "dining affair"?  
Do you get one from your Dentist, your Plumber, your Doctor, your Lawyer?

Do you wish to keep it all in the separate, obscured, realm of what it all really is?
It's just a meeting, a date, a chance encounter of sharing one's essence for an hour or three,
never to be shared again, like two leaves blowing in the wind?

Or do you secretly wish to have that oft-elusive connection, a confidant, a naughty paramour  
with NSA, whom you turn to when the S.O. becomes unaffectionate, unforgiving, and well,  
"closed for business"!?  lol  {funny, but really, not funny}

Thoughts?  Let's play "nice" here Ladies & Gentlemen!

Thank you for the insightful, positive post.  I also appreciate your concern for discretion.  You don't want a post to fall into the wrong hands.  For what it is worth, I always keep my cell phone locked. Lots of damaging evidence on it. I have a burner phone but only use it when I want extreme anonymity.  

You ask so many interesting questions. Are these just quick throw away moments or do they sometimes turn into extended affairs?  Answer: can be both.  

This is not the time to get into pricing.  Much too complicated a topic.  So many subtle messages get sent through pricing strategies and exchanges.  

I'm not into Ruth's Chris red meat.  More inclined to sashimi.  I bet you would be delicioso.  :p

I can honestly say I have never received a thank you text, even though I usually send. Would be nice to get one!

+1. I get  the occasional "Thank you I had a great  time with you" texts after a date. I really appreciate the gesture but it's their great service, not the texts, that make me a repeat customer.

Excellent point.  Sometimes connection is clear, sometimes not.  Sometimes the client or the provider have an off day.  So communication is not a bad thing.  I personally would not mind hearing a provider would like to see me again if it has not already been made clear.  Also some providers offer a home town or repeat/consistent client discounts but I would never ask for it so hearing that from a provider would also be appreciated.

Well Sir,  
Seeing as though your handle is @5EMERALD, this, along with the gem’s rarity,  
makes the stone a "unique alternative" to a traditional "diamond".
Perhaps I'm assuming too much into your handle's inference.
  (why a certain handle is chosen is always so curious to me)

Thus, if I'm reading into your handle correctly, without having met you,
that you liken yourself to an "Emerald", then I can't even imagine why you
wouldn't be receiving numerous "thank you texts",
unless you're an axe murderer?  Then that may explain the lack of ones' manners
and the ensuing silence!  

I'd send you one Sir!
Warmest,
Angelina Jones
