There’s definitely situations I’d be fine paying an application fee. If it was someone I knew I wanted to see and had a good chance of scheduling with I would definitely pay the fee. However many of my sessions started with an email inquiry with someone who’s ad I’d seen or with someone I just wanted some information about a possible session with. In cases like that I would not have paid an application fee just for an initial inquiry. I can definitely see the Domme point of view where it’s probably limiting inquiries to serious ones. Everyone has a different model of what works for them.
