...fucking envelopes won't protect you from LE and just because the money is "invisible" inside an envelope doesn't mean he isn't paying to have sex or that you aren't getting paid to have sex.  Out of sight is NOT out of mind.  An envelope isn't any more discreet that placing the donation on the dresser or in the bathroom.  And there's a much less likely chance that you'll receive a bunch of one dollar bills or counterfeit bills.

I always considered the envelope to be a matter of discretion.   When I meet an SB for a dinner date, I always put the cash in an envelope--you don't want to be seen handing over a wad of cash to a young woman at an upscale restaurant.  I once had an SB take the money out of the envelope and count it at the table.  She was a vulgar little tart.  Our waitress came to take our order while Miss SB was counting out the cash.  "I'll come back in a minute," our waitress said.  OMG. That was a one & done dinner date.  I ignored Miss SB's texts after that date.  

...$650. in counterfeit bills in an envelope.  A lot of grief could have been avoided if there had not been an envelope.

Oh goodness, i just remembered when the new 50-dollar-bill came out..... the first time I saw  them, they were from a client.

A box of fifty last awhile, and I like to use new large denomination bills. Better than a fistful of half-worn 20s from the ATM.

I work around the corner from a building where the first automated envelope folding machine was invented, so the subject is near and dear to my heart.

often include a Thank You or Blank card. My preference, my choice. A small gesture, but one I enjoy. Plus, she can reuse the card.  

Other than when I first moved to CA I've never used an envelope
Just never came up

I would prefer that they just took the cash from my hands and counted it in front of me like any other merchant.

and stop him so I could take the white envelope that was on the front passenger seat of my car with $$$$ for the date. Awkward situation. I wish I could just keep it in my wallet, I'm not used to carrying around envelopes in my routine, everyday activities.

when meeting in private I simply drop the cash on the dresser or nightstand as I am getting undressed. It's right there in plain site and a few hundred dollar bills can be counted from halfway across the room with out ever having to make a big deal out of it.

..... all I'd really have to do is wash 'em out and then  I could make any of these lovely art pieces!!!

Do a message search on the subject and you will find discussions going back a decade on this subject, back then you wouldn't believe how irate people would get at the very suggestion of not complying with a hookers demand to use an envelope, I doubt if 5% of the posters here agreed with me back then that the envelope was not only unnecessary but actually counterproductive for many reasons, and the manginas and BSC hookers routinely tried to shout me down when I argued for a bit of common sense on the subject.

If the lady specifically asks/instructs you to have it in an envelope, and you deliberately don't do so simply because you object to the envelope, then that is a bit disrespectful, in my opinion.  

I agree with you on this whole envelope thing. But it's to each his own and if a young lady strongly requires the gift in a envelope and this is against your beliefs then skip the chick. But really, would something like that really push your buttons to leave or not make an appointment? Me personally, I do the envelope thing and it works for me, plus I like to add a little surprise in there, hence the envelope.

that you make your way to Boston this spring, but  
I can guarantee you'll find an envelope on your night  
stand while I'm in the shower polishing the boys ....
Feel free to specify the color and size ... how thick it  
is will depend on other criteria xo

A colored envolupe like a birthday or holiday card is better if out in public or a gift bag.  If in private, I use a paper clip to keep it together after I've verified the amount.

I'm nothing special to look at and I don't ever pay until AFTER going BCD. I think some of those girls are professional daters. They can get 300 a week extra and free meals for doing that 3 times a week. I don't bother with the 10K a month ones. My allowance is about what you offer. I kind of base it on the girl's needs.

I started my hobby (or mongering) using an envelope because I read in here that this was the process. Not sure I knew then that it wouldn't protect me from LE, perhaps for my own security I wished that it would.

don't want to get in a flame war with BP, but this guy just doesn't give a fuck.  He once posted (on another thread) that he often wears sweatpants to a session.  The "counterfeit money" concern is just a rare red herring.  Let's be clear:  this guy doesn't give a flying fuck about what a provider thinks of him.  He'll walk into provider's incall in a sweatsuit & sneakers, and throw a wad of cash on the bed.  So what if she prefers an envelope?  Nah.  He knows what's best for her.    

Are you really too cheap to go to Dollar General and spend a couple of dollars for 50 envelopes? Of all of the things we should be concerned about in this hobby, whether to use envelope is the least of my concerns. Like Jay Z, I got 99 problems and a fucking envelope is not one. You sound like a knit-picking, little punk who spends the whole session whining and complaining.
