What is "it", you ask. It is my clitoris (hood) ring. I offer inserting it for gentlemen friends at an additional fee. Otherwise, I do not wear my clitoris ring (although it is good for giving me random orgasms when I am walking around the mall!).

Here is my question:

Does it make more sense to keep the ring out in order to reach the masses, then wait until I receive a request to put it in? If a lady is already fairly mainstream (e.g. long hair, make-up, well groomed, speaks well, dresses professionally, etc.), does it matter if she has one thing that makes her not so mainstream (e.g. piercings, tattoo, etc)?

I appreciate your time and input.

Xoxo,
Gia

By the way, that is NOT my vajayjay.

Then you should offer a discount to leave it in your jewelry box.
If you want to pierce your nose, your eyebrows or whatever, that's on you.
I can see this now...$25 extra to see my hood ring.
ROTFLMAO.
I thought you said business was good.
Good luck with that. I am sure you will keep us posted.

do regarding your hoody is fine with me.  It is not a requirement for GFE.

...and he will be paying me the fee (in addition to my rate) in a hour when I meet him.

It took me 30 minutes to put it in, so why not be compensated for that time? This really has nothing to do with business being good or not, it has to do with *my* time which I am compensated for. I thought we all knew that is what escorts get paid for...their time (Makes sense to me).

However, if men generally are interested in the piercing, I would simply leave it in for no charge at all (because, of course it would always be there and I would not have to set aside time to put it back in...makes sense to me).

I'm simply not as progressive as some. I still freak out over nipple piercings. I haven't made it past the navel yet.I'm almost there.

What exactly does this 'ring' afford either 'party'?

Gia,
You should leave it in, and maybe make a subtle reference to it on your webpage bio.  From my point of view, it is very cool when I undress an otherwise conservative lady and find a slightly kinky surprise (physically and/or mentally) along the way.  I've had fun modifying my oral technique to accommodate/maximize this new fashion accessory in my civie life. It's a treat! Not a treat that I would pay extra for, but a nice little "cherry on top", so to speak.

p.s. That's a cute little vajayjay, I was hoping that it was yours.

I find it improper to show off intimate part like this....

With all due respect I see it kind of as the same time investment all providers put in manicure, pedicure, etc. You want to present yourself well, then bussiness grows around that. I wouldn't pay extra for seeing one though I love it when the girl carrying it is neat looking, elegant, classy, sophisticated and well mannered. I guess it's a huge turn on for me when I don't expect it
Leave it in. Maybe easier to take it out if you sense somebody being put off by it.

A lot of these people are uptight  businessmen who frown on piercings and tattoos. I'd leave it out, plus mines been known to rip condoms and God only knows what that could lead to.

Eh that's what the morning after pill is for. I'm more worried about STD's......cuz herpes is the gift that keeps on giving lol.

I have 2 prince alberts and 2 frenums here and If I leave them out more than a day or two its quite difficult to get them back in.

I thought it was to show blonde guys where to lick!

Giamarie, I agree with the what the earlier gent said. Leave it in all the time, don't charge the extra fee and if you sense someone DOESNT want to see you with it, then take it out.   I would think most would find it sexy.

I wouldn't care if a more "mainstream" lady had a ring. I don't care one way or the other.

If you're charging extra, I guess it's a big turn on for some people. But it does nothing for most guys, I imagine.

lingerie?  "HMMM...let's see here, the lingerie is $100, but it took me 30 minutes to find what I wanted.  I'm an escort, so these are work items, so at my customary rate, that would be $100 - $50 for my time...so here's $50"!

Wow....talk about being a little "self important"!

I think anyone that is focused on money is a big turnoff.

Makes sense to me.

Then, if there are more conservative friends who would like me to take it out, I will do so.

No entry fee, no exit fee, etc.

Win, win situation.

Thanks everyone for your input!

Gia

Thank you SlantSix for the backhanded comment.

(First, all my real friends know I am a warm, unpretentious, playful, sweet and passionate lady. I do not take myself as serious as some would make me out to be.)

I did not know it was a secret that escorts are paid for their time and not sex and there is a business aspect to our hobby. I apologize for letting the cat out the bag!

Although I enjoy the same fluffy parts of the hobby as most, I am intrigued by all facets of the hobby, including business. Further, I am also interested in the desires of this fine community, thus I asked a question.

I simply asked what everyone thought of an exotic “mainstream” provider having a clitoris ring. I guess the statement that there are a couple who pay to have me put it in hit a soft spot for some in which they feel insults are warrented. Interesting.

Anyhoo, the answer was...I should be me and keep it in if I want to do so. Done. Thank you everyone for your input. Since it would be in ALL the time and not an additional thing I will have to prepare for (see illustration below), it would be the same rate as all other friends (why not be fair and treat my friends alike).

I am a proud businesswoman who takes pride in her interest to learn the business aspect of the hobby and since I do not know everything, I ask. Being interested in all facets of this hobby or feeling my time is important does not make me self-absorbed or obsessed. I thank those who allow me to ask questions and learn without calling me names.

Hobbyist #1 – He would like to meet for a traditional meeting. I prepare by doing the following:
-Shower
-Make-up
-Get dressed
-Do hair, etc.

Hobbyist #2 - He would like to meet for a meeting with a twist – clitoris ring or Greek. I prepare by doing the following:
-Shower
-Make-up
-Get dressed
-Do hair, etc.
-Stand in the bathroom for two hours inserting a clitoris ring specifically for him (for a Greek encounter, insert preparing for Greek here)

Is it inappropriate to feel my time is important? I feel my time, just as much as my friends’ time is important, but I simply see my friends in a different light (important) than some, I guess. (I learn something new about my friends here every day.)

Thank you to those who helped me to make my decision. Thank you to my friends who value my time and gave me advice off the board. I also value you.

Cheers!
Gia

...insert it everytime. I pay the professional, as I see his/her time as important. Then, my friends who request the piercing reimburse me for paying the professional to insert in (again because it was their request).

I guess this is a novel concept for some.

Cheers!
Gia

LOL I thought it took 30 minutes to insert the ring, not two hours.  Hey maybe it's an excuse to pleasure one's self.  

I kid, I kid!

I'm not sure I want to hear the details, but now I'm curious of how one prepares for greek...I didn't know a person had to do anything special.

As far as time goes, my time is valuable too.  I think anything can be taken to an extreme. Let's say you come to visit my city and you select an outling hotel that takes me a full hour to drive to, instead of the usual 30 minute drive to the hotel areas that most other providers choose. Should I deduct the extra 30 minutes of my time from the donation I give you?  Here is a different situation: If 99% of the hotels in my city have free parking, but you choose a hotel that charges $15 for parking, should I deduct that from your donation?  Or, if you run out of condoms and ask me to pick some up, should I charge you for the time that I drove to the store and waited in line?  After all, my time is valuable.

OK, this specific example is a little different.  Let's say you can't ever put it in yourself and you can only insert it by paying a pro...that's different. If a customer requested it, I could see the pro's fee being passed to the customer.

Or, if you were not pierced and a customer requested it, I could see you passing the piercing fee to the customer.

and know what the preparation for it is!!  come on now!

I think this is getting a little personal and if you have something against Giamarie, I think you should take it off the boards and continue via PM.   She asked a simple question and you are carrying on when there is no need to do so.

I've met Giamarie in the flesh and she is charming, sweet and one of the most adorable young women I have ever had the pleasure of meeting.   She listened to our opinions and has made a business decision that will work better for all involved.  So, back off and leave her alone already.


Gees....now I am turning into a white Knight-ress!   LOL

I've also met her, had a wonderful time, and posted a very positive review about her.

I'm not attacking her.  I am commenting on some of her statements coming off as being overly focused on money, a quality I find to be off-putting.

This is a public board and I am expressing my opinions.
