The way I see it, I am paid for time and companionship. I regularly have paid dates where nothing physical happens beyond a sweet kiss or a warm embrace as we part company. So the idea that I would hang out with a client for free and then still go on to satisfy their sexual needs? Not going to happen.
As it is, I very rarely stay past the agreed upon appointment time without compensation (the exception being on multi-hour dates where I might stay a little longer). I cannot imagine a situation where I would agree to have an entire date with a client FOR FREE. This is my job, not my hobby. I love what I do, but I never forget that distinction.
And beyond the financial concerns when it comes to OTC time, I would never intentionally blur the line between a personal and professional relationship, no matter how much I genuinely like the men I see. I've had clients who paid for literally every minute we spent together and STILL confessed that they thought we had a romantic relationship blossoming between us. Special treatment, which is really all OTC time is, would only have made it harder for me to convince them that we didn't.
I have no problem keeping Ava St. Claire separate from who I am IRL, and that separation is exactly why I'm able to do this job as well as I do. Can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm with you, OldTime... OTC just isn't for me.
