Early on I would put the donation in an envelope, but I felt uncomfortable with that, thinking that maybe there was a miscommunication about the donation size.  I have abandoned the envelope either leaving or putting the donation in plain view on the desk at arrival.  My thoughts are that if there is a misunderstanding, it can be discovered and rectified quickly.  Another reason is that I had read of a woman who got herself in some trouble and a waste basket with envelopes with her stage name on them caused further grief.  Thoughts?

I much prefer donation be laid on the table, discreetly but in full view. Not sure why some ladies find it necessary, but to each their own.  Gives more chance of being scammed and no more discreet then an envelope full of money with my name on it. LOL

what kind of tool puts a lady's name or other personal indicators on an envelope?  

"Laid on the table."

As a plot to foil LE, it would rate about a 2 on and 1 to 10 scale

Use thank you cards until a provider pulled out the cash and tore up the card in front of me. I asked her why and she said she always tears up the envelopes and tosses them. Now, I just put out cash most of the time ... No one has complained yet.  

"Here is the money."

...she requests (on her website) that you place the donation in the envelope. Not doing what she asked can lead to anxiety on her part which probably won't be good for you. You want her to be comfortable with you from the first. After you've seen her a few times you can drop the envelope.  

client gets out the wallet and starts counting 20s in front of the provider and then recounts again  

After dropping the envelope at an incall I visit the shower, so she knows I'm fresh and to give her a few moments to ensure the contents are correct (and they always are).

It's just silly IMO and I have never been admonished for it, well not in person at least.

Because I read of the process in here.

I don't see any reason not to do whatever the provider is most comfortable with. If the client has done the research and he or she decides to consummate the meeting WTF difference does it make? More  often than not I had my ladies come to my place. and they knew where the money was. With my ATF before she became my SO, I put the fee in a blank envelope in the bathroom where she freshened,  took the money and left the envelope. I could then use the envelope again and again for whatever.
With one lady I bought a funny sexy, sometimes filthy card and put the fee in that envelope. It always started the event on a happy note.

you won't take my pennies?

me too.

CDO because it's in alphabetical order, as it should be, LMAO, that is funny.

I have already posted about my disguises and other tricks I use to pass thru the lobbies without attracting the attention of the hotel staff or LE. (Carry a huge potted plant to hide my face; my "IMP Plumbing" disposable overalls; etc.)  

an envolupe doesn't carry well.  I make sure the donation is right & then put a big paper clip on it to keep it together.  I carry it in my key pocket so if I forgot, I'd find it before I left her.  Never in my wallet once I'm headed to a date

Also, I carry the dough in my bikini briefs because I know that LE cannot search there. It's a foolproof LE check. When the lady says "Lay it on me" I just say "Why don't you see if there's something extra in my tighties or if I'm just happy to see you?"

I had no idea what he meant.  He explained that he stored his canned soup organized from left to right according to where the first letter on the label fell in the alphabet.  So Chicken would be pretty far to the left, Lentil would be near the middle, followed by Pea and then Tomato.
I told him, "Yeah, I think you're fuckin' weird."  But he was nice in other ways so I overlooked it.

i feel ya, dude.  the very first session i had in the hobby, i got up to the lady's apartment in a huuuuge apt. complex, only to discover i left the envelope back down in my car.  i had excuse myself to go back and get it, how embarrassing!  

I freak out when I run out  

I can back this up, by the way....

Angelina I am just wondering when one does that especially a regular does it make the experience with that person impersonal? Also would you consider it a turn off socially although you are in this for reasons of commerce?

It's always one of the ones that you get at the bank.  More discrete when the lady carries it as to what the money was from.

so now I just prefer it this way.  I am very discreet about checking the donation, not in your face about it.  I  am just more cautious.  Still a very personal experience with me, I assure you!

I usually leave it and just take my donation. I don't need an envelope with cash in my bag with my provider name on it walking through a casino.

On the bathroom counter always. And even better if its in a card, It's classier to me (and the card is super sweet to me, I love the little things!)
