I get that. I was responding to the comment that it was no different than working with other professionals like lawyers. I understand the erotic nature of what you do and why it makes a difference. But no, you don't have to pay to ask a lawyer if they are interested in handling a specific case.

I think it is reasonable for a dom to give one concise answer to a prospective client's initial questions. But if that doesn't seem to move things along then she could dismiss the person.
