To avoid problems like the one posted below? From the hobbyists perspective. How would you feel if you're asked to not bring the donation in an envelope?

I'd be fine with it. It would even lead me to believe that the lady in question had a bit of common sense.

I've used envelopes, I've left the money out on the table, and in one case I handed it to her directly...made no difference to me whatsoever...

I really don't understand all the fuss about this subject... Envelope/no envelope is immaterial to me... Let's just get the party started... 😎

all of these as well.  Whatever make the provider comfortable makes me comfortable.

There is no confusion that money is changing hands here. The question is 'what is it changing hands for?'  You tell us on your website how much money you want.  Then people bring it to you.  You spell it all out - money is paid for time and companionship only.   An envelope does not change the nature of that transaction.

Not only would I feel good just handing over the donation, in a worst case scenario having the exact amount listed on an escort's website with you, in an envelope, might be used as evidence you were planning to pay that provider.

It's whatever you're comfy with .

When hobbyist bring it in an envelope.. More professional.. Nothing more uncomfortable to have them count out the donation in front you me...

Actually, I'm not even a fake Senator but my guess is the envelope is part of the GFE illusion that she's really your GF and no money is changing hands.  I find it silly, but do it if it's in her "Etiquette" section because why piss her off?
That said, it does make it easier for scammers to stuff the envelope with fake money.  I generally leave to wash up after dropping the envelope so she can check it.

...a provider looked in the envelope and found fake money and confronted the Assh---e client. I think she should be prepared for a violent reaction from the client.

I feel like that's a huge turn-off to a potential client. It throws up a barrier... a feeling of us vs. them... before we even meet.

That happened to a friend of mine. She told the client he had to leave, and he did so without argument... she said she was scared out of her wits!!! She was lucky...

While I agree there could have been a confrontation had she opened the envelope and saw the monopoly money. Without an envelope I doubt he would have slapped down the funny money? I hate the whole envelope deal myself. I also have no problem with the provider counting the money before the session.

It is a turn off to count it in front of me. I understand the need to do it. So I excuse myself and go wash my hands and clean up for her. It maybe just me but it is a turn off.

The donation needs to be precounted correctly & kept together.  I use a paperclip.  I fan the bills slightly when I place it on her dresser.  This has worked for me since 2008.
I wouldn't say to skip the envolupe per say but you could remove that language from your web site.

So if the money is for "time and companionship only" and like some of y'all said, why can't we just hand the money over to her and SAY that? Or just sit it down and say it? Or why can't we just say "Hey I found this out by ur door, it must be yours"  

usually had them take the envelope into another room and then come back without it.  It gets the money out of the same room the sex is taking place in.  However, once the first meeting goes well, if I repeat, the timing of the donation is usually not an issue, and I just lay it down on the nightstand at the end of the session.

It tells the client that you are keeping the worst-case-scenario in the forefront of your mind. Rather than being truly open to the  experience of getting to know a new person.

I was told "y'all" is singular and the plural would be "all y'all".  Were they BS'ing me because I'm not from the south?

I don't see how it would scare away any reputable client so I'd say not to worry -- it will be a win-win by getting rid of the dirtbags and not supporting some silly custom. (If the shit hits the fan whether the $ is in an envelope, a wallet, a pocket or on the table it just doesn't matter I suspect.)

he's from the Republic of Texas.  I spent much time in that fine state, some of my family lives there now, and I for one don't cott'n to that sort of thing.

I've often had to remind them as I'm leaving that "it's right over there."

Envelope makes things civil since that is the business consideration

Interesting to read all the comments here. I have never used an envelope anyway. To me...
1) Waste of time and trouble.  
2) When you lay a cash donation down, the provider can clearly see the money.  
3) Girls seem to feel less embarrassed to quickly check the donation if it's in the open rather than rummage through an envelope.
I want my sessions to go well, so the last thing I need is for the provider to have any hesitation or wonder if the donation is really there or not. In my experience talking with providers, they have enough to worry about, so if I can do something to make them more comfortable, then the result is that I usually have a great session too

..."all ya'll" is definitely plural. When guests (in the south they are called company as in company's [company is ] comin'.) are leaving you say ya'll (plural ie. all of them) come again.  

And thank you MrFisher! Nice video! Hahahahaha

I have to keep a box of envelopes in my car which can bring associated questions. Not to say my cluttered vehicle may not have other items of question.

and envelope or not, you are still fucking a hooker. Yes my friend, like it or not you are patronizing a prostitute for sex, you can call it "classy" if you like, but it is what it is.  

It is a simple matter to remove it from the envelope before seeing the lady. I use envelopes to organize my cash, but I would always honor a a polite request by a lady as long as it is simple and not too much of a hoop to jump.

Everything is in my mind. I'm not capable of perceiving or interacting with anything in the world except by means of the electrical signals generated and communicated by my brain and central nervous system.

That way it is on the counter in the bathroom and we are all aware of it and I handle the collection discreetly. I never take the envelope anyway. I take the money and put it in my purse before I go.

Money is $ regardless of how it is exchanged.

And I’ve probably used an envelope three times ever.

This is worse than regurgitating the same topics every other week. But you did make me look!  

YES!

I put the donation in a greeting card and usually write something nice especially if I have seen her before.  Is that silly?

Yep !! Nothing says class like the $2 lottery ticket..

It just feels more civilized that having some one toss money on the table. Have i been shorted a few times. i had a client forget to pay. i forgot to ask. My booker emailed him and he came right back.

I always use envelope, seal it with amount in upper left hand corner.

I'm totally discombobulated by this conversation!All this energy being wasted over a piece of paper that costs a few cents. We have the war in Ukraine,rampant worldwide inflation,and a planet that's in the  process of dying. Get ahold of yourselves. Jesus f Christ!!!

YOU reviving the 6-year-old thread and then calling someone else out for posting on it?  Gotta admire the Chutzpah.  Lol

...claiming inicky revived this 6 year old thread?  The thread was revived by QueenBia NINE DAYS ago.  inicky didn't post until TODAY.

But do you see the irony to this? Whatever the fuck this irony thing is....Relax CKS, no need to jump in..
Laughing at CDL, not with him.....lol

What else is new.  Nicky brought it here because I linked it to a post on the P & R board.  Instead of responding there, he responded to the linked post on the GD thread.  He's already acknowledged it on September 9th, and we had a back and forth exchange for a few days after that before the thread was taken down.  Here was my first response to his revival of the thread . . . .

"An archive of posts"  --  BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

archive of their posts, you moron.  Just go to "MyTER", pick the "More" tab and go to "My posts".  They are all there, even the ones that have been removed because a thread was removed.  I can't believe you have been on TER for fifteen years and didn't know this.  The archive is AUTOMATIC for everyone, you idiot.  It's time to take the loss and go home on this one.  The only loser here is YOU.  You claim to be "Mr. I-know-everything-about-TER", but you didn't know this.  Do you see the irony in calling someone else a loser?  Bwahahahahahhaha

Still the asshole who simply insults on the most inconsequential detail.  Yet complains about being insulted.

...but in your usual self-aggrandizing way, you call it "my archive."  

called an archive.  If you had more education, you would know this.  I can't help it if your archive is mostly about me.  That was your choice when you became obsessed with me.  

exactly

I liked receiving an envelope full of money. I agree that counting money makes for an awkward vibe, I never liked doing that but I've had guys tell me to count the money so I know they aren't taking advantage of me. That's the thing every guy you see is different and expect different things. I would just ask for the donation at the beginning of the session and hope its all there because I don't wanna set off the wrong vibe. If I come to find out he left me short handed I just never see the guy again. Not getting another chance with me after that.

...you LIE about everything else.  It's your pathetically desperate attempt to pretend you were right to call "My Board Posts" an "archive."

I would agree that putting the Donations into an envelope is not appropriate. Just Lay the money out on the counter top.

and get your ass kicked, you devolve into the minutia?  This started when you attacked for kidding Nicky about his post after bringing this thread.  I proved he did, and so you started nitpicking language until you got to a place where you had to lie.  Do you see the irony in lying about whether I lied?  Merriam-Webster's website gives this as an EXAMPLE of using "archive" in a sentence . . . . .  " She archived her e-mail messages in a folder on her hard drive."  Gee, that sounds a lot like what is going on with board posts here.  The term "historical" just means "from the past", but they don't have to have any special significance beyond that of the user and they don't have to be documents.  You can archive photos, newspapers, videos, or anything else you want to preserve in an organized manner.  TER automatically "archives" all reviews that are posted.  News stations all have archives for their past video clips.  If you had gone a little further in school, you might have learned this.  

Either way

What else would you expect from the consummate asshole?
