Looking for some Advice on Fetish Services - 2/19/2011 1:21:02 PM

I am looking into doing my own fetish services (NOT SEX) for payment, but I am unsure how or what to charge clients. Would anybody be willing to help me figure something out?

Thank you so much!

Three goats for spanking.

Pint of virgin blood for shoe-related adulation.

Essence of human hatred for anything else.

Look at what the other people offering similar services in you are are charging and see where you fit in the scheme of things. Deciding what to charge is a personal choice coupled with what the market will bear. Keep in mind if you are new to professional sex work it might take some time to establish yourself and you might want to hook up with a local sex workers activist group for support.

I'd start by making a male sub profile and shopping around in your area to find out what the competition is offering.

My experience as an escort, in contact with many other escorts, is that there are plenty of pro-dommes around already, and that quite a few of them use it as a method of making money without having to do direct sexual contact. I know some who do this because of insecurities, such as scars from a recent operation. Not all of them are particularly experienced or knowledgeable in the scene.

I would suggest seeing what competition there is around your area, and weighing that against your own knowledge and experience in regards to BDSM. If you've never been a domme before and try to sell that service professionally, you may find some smart submissives will suss you out and that will not be fun.

I see that your profile is listed as submissive, though. Offering yourself as a professional submissive is another route if you choose to go that way. It's a less travelled one however, and the reason why is fairly obvious - Danger. You attract the sadists and other unsavory sorts who are unable to find a willing submissive of their own, and the potential for abuse is very high. I will also say that a lot of male doms (your clients will be 99.5% male in any sex industry) will be looking for and expecting sexual contact, and may take the rejection badly.

I would suggest asking on http://www.saafe.info/main/ if you have questions regarding offering professional services. They are very helpful and supportive ^_^ Be very careful to read the site rules though. Amy is mean if you put a foot wrong. :(

In setting price you have two to keep in mind.

(1) The price for a one time customer and (2) the price for repeat customers. In planning, focus on who you most want to serve.

I find it hard to believe there are very many willing to pay for services in this area, and if they are, you might not want them as clients. Look at all the sites with people offering their services for free.

A dungeon near me charges $250/hr and splits it 50:50 with the service provider. Of course, this is in a dungeon, so having thousands of dollars worth of equipment available will raise the price. Having the home turf advantage of a dungeon makes it easier to enforce "no sex."

I recommend trying to hook up with a local dungeon and sincerely advise you to proceed with extreme caution otherwise.

I know people in the biz who rent a condo in a building with security procedures where the visitor must leave a driver's license - there are safety disadvantages to doing it out of your home or the client's.

Be prepared - you can say no sex a million times and a large percentage will still expect sex.
