Time is money, said Ben Franklin. With this in mind, I remain steadfast in my opinion.

If a potential client has taken his time to read the web site, fill out the application, provide referrals and pretty much play by the rules set forth by the Domme, it seems fair to me that any up front fee(s) should be credited toward the session cost.

If a poser is not really a potential client and is really a "time wasting cheapskate"..... chances are he will balk at paying anything....... Thus alleviating any time being taken from the Domme without remuneration.

At my advanced age maybe I'm still living in an old school world. But I would not send an application fee.
