Cost or Convenience?

I like that you take the time to read bio's and that the location and convenience are secondary. Very nice.

Reading provider profiles or simply just asking what they like always works for me. As long as there is thought behind the gift and not an obvious flower from QuikTrip after thought kind of gift, you can't go wrong.

Would you say gifts for providers are most likely to be bought when they can be purchased with cash, instead of only being able to be found online and purchased with a credit card? I'm not sure what gift this would be, but do you think providers should only list gifts that can be purchased with cash?

I think the price is not the main thing. I once brought a lady a sack full for various kinds of grapes because I knew she loved grapes. She was thrilled. But, then there was three other sacks of groceries and I knew it was the end of the month and the money was probably thin. This was a lady who refused to take any tips from me. Pride is important. If you respect a person, the object is to cultivate friendship. If you give something that is too expensive, it can be an insult and hurt. Sometimes, one has to be careful with gifts, at other times it is just "go for broke", it depends upon the situation.

I think that in all cases, a gift is special if a person puts some thought into the purchase.

In what case do you think a client should purchase a gift that he thinks the provider needs, instead of buying her a gift that she has shown an interest in?

What percentage of clients would you say look at the wish list/gift ideas on a provider's website or profile, and actually consider surprising her with one of them?

I hope you're joking. I'm not into begging and definitely don't need to.

[PleasantSurprise]

I still want to hear it actually. Would you beg if the price is right?

[Guest013121]

No, I would work if the price is right. Would you beg?

[PleasantSurprise]

Yes, I would beg if the price was right.

I have P411 points burning a hole in my pocket and will gift 5 points to the first two providers who respond with an example of how begging could be fun during an appointment.

Orgasm denial in a soft b&d scenario often ends with begging to be allowed to orgasm which I've found is very enjoyable for both me and the woman - the eventual climax after being brought to the brink of orgasm multiple times but denied the ability to actually reach climax is always very intense for the woman and very arousing for me to witness and be a part of.

As far as gifts go, it's personal choice whether a hobbyist would pay cash or use a credit/debit card. Many hobbyists that have SO prefer cash to keep their hobbying more discreet and eliminate any paper trails which could lead to "I saw this on the bank statement, who'd you buy this for" conversations.

For me, the gift and the thought behind it is much more important that the method of payment. If what I want to buy is only available online, then so be it.

I have a wishlist so guys can get an idea of what I really like. Though I love when guys buy things out of the goodness of their hearts just being gentlemen so many were buying things I didn't like (didn't even ask what I liked first lol) or would barely make use of. So......I finally created a wishlist and most of the stuff on mine are gift card ideas.

I have low-cost ideas on my gifts/wishlist like candles, chocolate, any drinks (unopened) except beer and again lots of gift card options to places/sites I like (MAC, B&BW, fetish/toy sites, lingerie sites, a spa site, Apple, Sephora, Best Buy etc etc etc etc) so they can put as little or as much they want on them.

Do you lean towards gifts in a certain price range or gifts that you can buy at a location convenient and along the way?

Say you are for sure going buy a gift for a lady. Would it be more important to you for the gift to be convenient for you to get your hands on, or is it more important for the gift to have a lower price point?

Such as, I really like Andes OR Special Dark chocolate from CVS. I know there's a CVS on every corner and the heavenly chocolate is less than $3. So in this case, it's fairly convenient and affordable. However, some gifts don't meet both affordable and convenient. So, what's your preference?

Cheap/low cost, but out of your way?

or

Slightly higher in cost, but right along your path to sexy time?

If a provider were going to base the gifts she lists on her personal website off of your advice, would you tell her to list cheap gifts, or gifts that could be found on every other corner? In this hypothetical scenario, you can pick one or the other, but not both.

Cost or Convenien- neither I love to shop for a lady I like to discover her wants-needs- treats for example perfume you will see wow me or ask me yes diffrent chemistry doesnt agree with everyone but you should make a list give us a choice something I know you will use and enjoy

[Guest011214]

I have a special place in my heart (as well as between my legs) for any client who brings me a gift....anything! Its the thought that counts......
It doesn't happen very often for me though...I think I can count the number of gifts I have been given on both hands.....except for my favorite best buddy who always gets me things
If they read my profile and get me something they know I would like....then I am just blown away and they are treated extra special

Always give without remembering. And always receive without forgetting.

I remember years ago when I was on a date with a lady I was fond of. We had just gotten back from a nice dinner and were getting to the really fun part. While laying on the bed, she undid my buckle and started pulling my pants down, but just before, I guided her hand from one hard thing to another hard thing...in my pocket. She seemed a bit worried with a wtf look on her face, but then pulled her hand out of my pocket with a small jewelry box with a necklace ($100) in it. She got very quiet and opened it. As I nervously struggled through the dimly lit room to observe her reaction, my heart started pounding because 1.) she was quiet, and 2.) I had never done anything like this before. Was this inappropriate? Will she think I'm a stalker? Will she think I'm a loser? And with that, she shed a tear and said no one has ever done anything that nice for her! Whew what a relief!

Unfortunately the night didn't end too well when I busted a nut and the rubber broke! Doh!
