Tips to Independent Providers???

[PhillyBetaCuck]

I'm wondering if it's customary to tip with certain types of providers.

I've booked a session with a domme who also specializes in wrestling/bodybuilding/etc. Most of these providers seem to operate the same way an independent in the $300-$400 range would.

I'm very familiar with AMPs where I always tip, even if they're independent. If there's a massage involved I tip. However, I've only seen a couple independent FS providers with no massage included (halfway legit ones, not random street girls), and in those instances I didnt tip. Their price range is usually higher because the FS is part of the deal, and they factor in all their time and preparation. So in those couple of cases I treated it like the price was the price, all in. Not sure if I was correct or not?

So I have this session booked with an independent domme with no massage (pure domme/fetish session), no FS expected, and charges in the decent indie provider range. If anyone has had any similar experiences (or even just experiences with regular indie providers in this price range), and can give me any advice on how to tip, I would appreciate it.

Please Note: I'm not asking for opinions on how she's charging too much, or what you would or wouldn't pay for. I'm paying for a very specialized and specific service for which her reviews all claim she is an expert in. I'm really just trying to get advice from people who have atleast some comparable experience here.

The difference is that AMP providers get very little to none of the house fee. They pretty much work for tips. Indies get the entire amount paid, or most if not truly independent. They set the price all themself, which is why they are nearly always higher than house and tip combined, and sometimes they'll offer an upcharge menu. You only need to tip them if you feel they went above and beyond - and you therefore want to give them more.

I’ve never tipped an indy provider.

Usually all the pricing is upfront, or in some rare cases, you’ll get someone who has an “a la carte” menu.

I don’t think anyone would turn down a tip, but it’s definitely not the usual.

I’ve never tipped in my mongering life. I’d only tip if I knew it would benefit me in the long run like access to extra services, leniency, etc whether in the future or present. But i also don’t really see any providers regularly. Maybe if I did I may tip for a special occasion.
