whereby the client has more or less exclusive rights to see the escort, though there can be half-way arrangements too.

There are sites where people can find or advertise their availability for this where you can learn more.

Once they have your money, they have no incentive to see you, and can play games with you in order to avoid keeping their end of the arrangement.  If they have standing on the boards, your exposure of them ripping you off will not be believed by many here, and will likely result in you being blacklisted, and condemned by much of the hobby community.  Best way to avoid - pay as you go.  Never advance any funds to anyone unless you trust the other person 100%...and realize that even then it may backfire.

want to play since they already have their $$$$ up front.  Unless money is of no concern, I'd stay away from a sugar-daddy type relationship.  I prefer to pay as I go.

Yes, it called being her ATM. Prepaying or obligating yourself beyond an hour or two is foolish and will only lead to problems. Read this board, you'll see enough failed "relationships." I'd hate for you to come back and have to admit, you got burned. Or would you?

With a monthly arrangement comes strings, with strings comes drama, drama can lead to resentments. If you want strings get a GF or if that isn't possible get a real SB. The point of the hobby is to avoid the strings.

I've had three such arrangements. Is there anything in particular you'd like to know?

Two things need to be considered: is it exclusive, or is it open?  If she can still see other people the monthly gift should be lower, and her availability for time should be lower.  If it's exclusive be prepared to support her lifestyle.

Mine are always open. Generally speaking, we agree on X amount of dollars, and that I will spend a minimum of X amount of days (usually a week a month).   The X amount is generous compared to the rate structure that is up on my website for patrons, mistress arrangements get special consideration.

However, the gentlemen have always gone above and beyond what they said they'd do for me - out of their own desire.  They will often gift me necessities of life, things I need and they would like to purchase for me to save me having to spend any money.  They also buy me frivolous gifts for the fun of it.    When things have gone on for several years financial assistant takes on a more personal and significant role - aside from the money, they may put something into my investments, into my mortgage, into my small business to  provide additional stability in the long term.

Ultimately they go a LONG way to making my life financially stable, comfortable... and well, warm. They have always made me feel they take my happiness seriously, that they are concerned for my well being, and that while they are around, they will catch me when I fall.  It's kinder, warmer and far closer to a relationship then it is an issue of mutual convenience.

Thanks for all of the replies. I have no intention of engaging in such an arrangement in the immediate future because I am a pauper! I simply wished to know what kind of experiences providers and hobbyists have had with monthly or retainer agreements.

I have an Elite program I offer to those I know well - especially those I see once or more a month. Discounts for paying in advance are anywhere between 20 and 50% depending on how much he provides in advance. I offer them incalls in area convenient as a bonus. It works like kind of like a line of credit and never expires.

It works well, but then again this is an arrangement between two people who already know and trust each other.

Like with any contract, make sure all the details are clear.

I love arrangements! They benifit both of us because they know what to expect each month, and I know what to expect from my income each month.

I have had many, and in the end, we usually have found a wonderful friendship with one another, and some great times have been had for having been closer as friends!

I usually knock off 20% when I do it, and it is always an open thing. I offer this situation to anyone whom I get along famously with and comes to see me often; it only makes sense. If I can get 5 situations at once I simply fall out of the lineup for a while and focus on them. That way I can be there when they need me and I dont have to worry about setting up and screening and emails and so on; I'm low-volume anyhow.

Where there any specifics you wanted to know?

My experiences with monthly arrangements for play for pay have been very favorable. In recent years pro providers have been successfully raising their fees at rates far exceeding inflation, thereby pricing many of us affluent (but not wealthy) hobbyists, out of this hobby. On the other hand, the recession has induced many semi-pro providers (i.e., sugar babies, mistresses, part-timers, etc.) to seek monthly arrangements.  This has resulted in a very favorable imbalance in supply and demand.  For example,   on one popular website for arrangements, in Maryland there are currently 2358 sugar babies seeking arrangements and 311 sugar daddies seeking arrangements.  I like those odds!  As a result, I have been able to get female companionship from the semi-pros at rates much less than those offered by the pros.  In addition, the companionship from the semi-pros has been much better than the companionship offered by the pros.    

Although monthly arrangements have worked well for me, they are not suitable for all hobbyists.  A hobbyist has to spend more time with a semi-pro.  Whereas pros diligently watch the clock to ensure that a customer does not exceed his allotted time and discourage any socializing with customers, semi-pros expect the hobbyist to socialize with them before and after the main event.  Also, monthly arrangements do not provide the variety that many hobbyists seek.
