After working most of my adult life in the service industry (food) I will almost always tip. Unless service was bad or inadequate for the situation. I like to leave the ladies a little extra when I visit (usually about $40). Before this week I had been frequenting one lady solely, with the exception of a business trip. But I have always been more than satisfied.
       But this week I tried two new providers, the first was fine. But with the second I was rushed out after about 40 minuets of a 1 hr session. So I will probably keep on tipping my ATF the way I have in the past, But in the future for new providers I will probably want to wait till after services are rendered before tipping.
  So my question is if you tip, how and when do you give the tip? And or do you wait till latter visits to tip or do you start tipping on the first visit? And what do you base your tip on? And do you feel that your provider goes the extra mile in the future?
    And for the ladies, if you are tipped how and when do you prefer to receive your tip? And do you feel it makes you go the extra mile for a good tipper?  
    I know some people also feel that they shouldn't tip. But please I am asking this only of the tippers. I will tip because that is the way I am.

somewhat more for less expensive providers and/or shorter sessions, and somewhat less for more expensive and/or longer sessions.

I do it after the first meeting as well as subsequent meetings and base it on exactly the same principles as you would in a restaurant or taxi or hotel: good, friendly service, with full measure or better of the time arranged for.

Always works for me.

Even if I am out of town and know I will never see her again.  It is only fair, I think.  So, if I get a GFE from a provider, I tip a the end -- say 15-25% -- and if I do go back, they almost always remember.  If I do not go back, I feel I did the right thing.  If you went to a great restaurant in a city while on a business trip and got GREAT service, would you not tip because you never planned on returning to that city?  I think not.  Smokey the Just

I have a set amount for a tip I include with my donation. If a session knocked my socks off I will leave an additional tip when the session is over. I don't think there is a set way to do this. Any provider is going to be thrilled with you if you leave her a tip. Don't set a schedule for doing this go with the flow of how things went with the session and reward the provider accordingly.

s/be "...those WHO do tip the ladies."

I remember an ATF  who left the agency she was at, too soon after we were introduced.  Come to find out that she gave her private # out to the $100 tippers until she had anough of a clientele to leave.  Clever girl.

Do you all usually tip agency girls more than indies, since they have to give a cut to their agency?

I was hoping to see some of the Ladies imput on this subject.

as a provider i feel its up to the person that im with if hes wants to tip or not.i always go the extra .iwant to make sure you wont forget me.and when you come back our time together will be more sensual.i like when they tip me after our session that way i know i please him in all ways then one.

I always tip unless the session goes bad, which has only happened once, the old bait and switch. I usually tip any where from $50-$100 depending just how awesome the lady is and the services she offers. The more services she offers and if she is a really cool girl, the more of a tip she gets. Play it by ear. Tip what you feel she deserves just like you do with anything else. I find if you read the reviews about a lady you are interested in, you will get what you want and should tip her accordingly. Have fun!

I haven't delt with an agency girl yet. But I think if I did the tip would still be the same. I know they have to split some with the agency, but they are paying for the services the agency provides them IMO.
 Indies have to pay for their own advertising, and do their own screening. The agency IMO just provides this service to the lady.

I always leave a tip regardless if I will see her again or not. Bad service even get one but it is a one time visit for me.

Thank you, that helps a lot and really makes sense.

I never tipped.  On the other hand, I have never, ever tried to bargain a provider's price down.  I figure she's charging me whatever she thinks is fair compensation for her time and that if she thought she deserved more she would ask for it.  Using this principle I have also always willingly paid extra for certain services if the provider sought an extra fee for same.  So I never meant to be cheap, I just figured a professional sets her prices and a willing buyer pays that price or does not.

I include a gift bag as well as a tip. I always come prepared to spend a little extra just in case the session goes long.

I want to be remembered for a) future references and b) future visits. Money tips are nice but they don't always leave a lasting impression.

I tip after the service and I tip according to quality and service. I do tip my atf before the session and it has paid dividends better than some mutual funds or stocks that I own.

The market will have to get way up there before my rocks go off.

Tipping a lady before isn't really a tip is it? More like some extra encouragement?

I always remember gifts. A hobbyist gave me a chocolate rose on our first meeting and because of that I remembered him when he contacted me over a year later. I think if you tip it should be because you really enjoyed yourself. It should not be an automatic thing. Something that should be automatic is if you had a great time say so. It is a very simple thing to do but a lot of guys don't do it. I have been tipped before and just wondered if the guy miss counted because I could not tell whether he had a great time or not. I finally realized that it was a tip when the person contacted me to arrange another visit.
Just my two cents.
