ASK A HO

dear ho

a friend and i are looking to start a naked housecleaning service. pure voyeurism, no touching outcalls. we’ll be using a buddy security system, having another person come along who will take a cut of the fee. we’re trying to decide on an amount to charge. one person suggested $140/hr, i thought the service could be worth more like $200/hr with $30 out of that to the buddy for each. what do you think is a reasonable amount to charge? we’re having to spend a lot of time filtering email requests, so we’re trying to make it worth that time also.

ho props,
service sub at a price

Dearest SSAP’s
Sorry it’s taken me so long to respond, contrary to the luxurious lives portrayed by borders bargain pile fancy courtesan tell all’s, sometimes a ho has a hectic life. 
I’m going to say something here which may be controversial…I don’t really know how effective or useful bringing along a security person to a one-on-one booking is. I’ve only done it once, when I had a booking where I was going to be tied up and the person I was doing it with was unable to supply me with references.  Are you very small?  Are you going to be incapacitated in your ability to protect yourself in some way?  If not chances are you could hold your own against any bullshit a client pulled out on you, unless of course he was a genuine fucking menace in which case I’m unconvinced that having a friend outside would help that much anyway. 
A.    I’ve never had a client force me to do anything I didn’t consent to.  Sometimes I’ve done things I didn’t like because I felt pressured, but a security person wouldn’t have been able to help in that situation anyway.
B.    There are other ways of creating safer work environments without paying someone to sit outside, looking very obvious, on your clients doorstep or in a car outside their house making them very nervous.  And don’t think that bringing the buddy inside is going to work.  A non-naked extra person is going to make your client feel like he’s about to get robbed.

So ways of looking after your safety when working:
Do a reference check
Ask clients emailing you to provide you with the name, phone number, and internet advertisement of at least one another pro that they’ve had dealings with.  Email this person with the name, email, phone number and any other information your client has given you about themselves, and tell them that you are going to call them to check that they have indeed seen this person and if they were a gentleman, and any other information they would like to bestow on you.  Confidentially of course. Then call them, even if they email you back before then.  Make sure you speak to them on the phone and that they are a real person!
If your clients can’t provide that info, and you are still getting a good vibe off them, ask for their full name, work phone number, and the name of the company he works for.  Call the company, ask to be put through to Ben Bigcock, and see if he picks up/has an answering machine with the same info he provided to you earlier. 
Have a call in buddy
When you get to the booking have them pay you up front.  Golden rule of hooking: ALWAYS ALWAYS GET PAID UP FRONT.  Then in front of them, call a friend – say something like: “Hey, me and Benny Boy Bigcock are at 587 Hardon Ave having a good time.  I’ll call you in an hour!”  Organize with your friend beforehand what to do in certain situations.  If you don’t call back, what you want to happen.  How much time they should allow you for give or take time.  Code words to indicate that all really is well, or that secretly something is wrong.  And be responsible, always call in…and hook this up with someone who WILL check up on you, and has access to the clients information.  This also gives you a clean excuse to wrap up the booking “gee I’d love to keep chatting/dusting/slurping on your cock, but I need to check in with my friend, otherwise they’ll worry!”
So, that is my perspective on security.  When you first sent me this email I thought you were going doing bookings as a team, getting ass out together, buffing those doorposts in sweet naked companionship.  I think that if you are concerned about security, that could be a way to go about it, provide perhaps a sexy element to the cleaning if you were to say you were good, good friends.  And you would also have someone there to get your back. 
In terms of how much you should charge.  You should charge what you feel is worth it for your time and the energy you are putting in.  If 200 is it, then you should definitely not go under that.  And to me it seems like a bargain- a perv and a clean house, what a deal! 
Good luck !
Yours,
Ho
