I sincerely appreciate the advice
[QUOTE=Archie Pitcar;1754721]I endorse the Lucky8 approach here. Contrary to the advice of many, I NEVER negotiate the price of any service (outside of the standard private lapdance) up front. This is because paying for sex is illegal, so presumably negotiating the price one might pay for sex is also illegal, or at least close enough. I make sure that we have made clear the standard price of a VIP dance in the establishment (some of the Jen's dancers will claim their dances cost $25 a song because they are "better", but I point out that this is higher than what is standard for the club, so I won't pay it, and break off conversation at that point.) Once I have ascertained the per song fee, I note that I often tip extra for particularly good dances. When a dancer goes beyond the normal call of duty, I then tell her "I know it was only two songs, but it seemed as good as four to me" or some variation on that, depending on how far beyond the normal call of duty she went. Thus I am just tipping for excellent service, not for any particular sexual act. I've found that this works very well. Occasionally I'll fall for a girl that just does standard lap dances as a result of this method, but I generally figure that out by the end of the first song, thank her for the one dance, and call it quits at that point. I love to haggle when I'm buying a car, but not when I'm buying "adult entertainment."[/QUOTE]But frankly, that's too much work for me. I know it's illegal to negotiate sex for money, but in this case the risk to me is nearly zero. I know with 100% certainty that I'm not dealing with LEO, because I'm getting a lap dance at the bar first. I discreetly negotiate at the bar and avoid eavesdroppers. I would rather set the expectations of both parties before taking a flyer on the unknown, or ever-changing demands of the dancer.
I have tons of experience dealing with bar girls and street girls in Tijuana, so coming through the front door with a list of my menu items and what I'm willing to pay for them is second nature to me.
The real risk is LEO barging through the oft-open front door and making a quick right to look at what's going on behind the curtain.
Thanks again for offering up your method of operation. I learned a few things.
