I remember paying a deposit of $50.00 which is reasonable and you can deduct that amount from your tribute payment.


If you have to pay the tribute anyway what's the problem with a larger deposit?

I charge 50%. I make absolutely no apologies for this. Why? Everything I put into preparing for each of my clients is worth more than an insulting $50 if the client decides that he doesn't feel like showing up.

And you know what? In over 8 years I've never had a single no show, I have pages of 5-star reviews justifying my deposit protocol, and I haven't grown resentful from selling myself short and asking for only $50 to cover the four hours of prep I may have to do for your amazing scene because some guys are uncomfortable being asked to step up and show the same level of commitment to our scene as I do.

Sweetie, I'm a FemDom, not a servant.

Will some clients decline to session with me because they don't want to pay 50% of their tribute up front? Yep. But this is not anything I concern myself with. As cliche as it may sound, I honest-to-goodness believe it's their loss.

As I said I do support deposits it is to wean out those time wasters or to cover those who don't show up at all.


...except you don't, when it comes down to it.

It sounds like you are one of those "but I'm not a time waster and I should be an exception!" types. Which, you realize, is what everyone believes about themselves.
