Rates info

[br1965a]

Not sure if this belongs here, but mod can move it if not

Is there a decoder ring to understand rates? If so, can someone send to me..
I see things like $.25 and $$ and $.50

i could guess what they mean, but would like some clarification..

thanks for listening and be gently with the replies.. LOL

Each dollar sign represents one hundred dollars. $=$100. $$=$200 $.50=$150 etc

[KCQuestor]

It is a silly code that some of us have been discouraging for years. Not only does it not have any positive benefit, but there is the possibility of confusion if an amount is a fraction of $100. If the session was $.75 is that $175 or $75?

If everyone would drop the code, the whole board would be clearer for everyone.

If you just paid a single dollar ($1.00) it would still qualify as prostitution. Maybe if you took Canadian currency???

[Guest090920]

Questor is correct, it is a silly, unnecessary code that those who have joined this sub-culture the last few years continue to use because they completely believe the local constables don't know the code and thus they will remain safe.

Roses anyone?

[Nero Wolfe]

And yes, it is silly and outdated.

As are other euphemisms, such as "provider".

[KCQuestor]

Some people have made the same point that scorpio31 did, that the code is in place to hide from police. If that is truly the case, then I am doubly against it. Any "code" meant to fool the police or evade prosecution is bound to fail unless it is hidden from the general members.

Offering "roses" or "diamonds" or even "kisses" is just as stupid.

I have often wondered what would happen if I showed up with a couple hundred "Roses".

No doubt it would affect how the xoxo would be returned.

+1

If not more stupid!

KCQ, do you remember this being an issue 5 or 6 years ago?

If a "provider" didn't provide, would you give her a positive review?

What did we do back in the day of the Magic Touch and Gus' Goldmine on Main Street?

Are those roses redeemable for cash?

Or for child support payments to another state?

I guess the real question is, "Are roses fungible?"

I remember a story a few years back about a cop showing up at a BP girl's door with a hundred roses and the girl saying "When I said roses, I meant dollars!" and getting busted.

I'm sure it's not true. But it's still funny to think about offering to pay a girl with roses, which generally cost more than $1.00 each. I wonder if any guy has ever offered to pay a girl 100 kisses for a half hour session.

$ equal 100, the rest is self explanatory.

Clearly not.
