Re: Do you do this?
NO! Absolutely not!
I had a very similar "offer" on Skype last night. The guy wanted me to call him for free, take pics of him doing something embarrassing, and then use them to blackmail him into doing a paid show. I gave him my usual line about how I don't do free previews, but he could pay me for the minutes while I photographed him and decide on the longer show afterward. He tried to tell me that he wasn't asking for a free preview because I didn't even have to turn on my cam, just watch his. I told him that it doesn't matter what we're doing or who is watching whom, if I'm not getting paid for my time, it's a free preview. The dude got butthurt and said that he wouldn't pay me anything unless I was blackmailing him into it. LOL! Like that's going to change my mind!
Remember that we provide sexual gratification in a lot of different ways, and no matter how "innocent" or "easy" they seem, we should be getting paid for the minutes that we spend doing whatever it is that gives these guys pleasure. In this type of scenario, the guy gets off on being watched and photographed, so not charging for that service is just as bad as doing a couple minutes of free anal.
Also, blackmail is a lot of work, and this wouldn't be just a couple easy minutes on cam. I guarantee that once you get the photos, he's going to want to spend ages text chatting back and forth, baiting you into threatening him with the pics, asking you what you're going to do with them if he doesn't comply, blah blah blah. You should be paid for playing into that part of his fantasy, too, even if you're not on cam. He'll definitely draw it out as long as possible before caving and giving you the $75 (if he ever does at all). It's not like you arranged to be paid per minute, so you can't exactly say "Ok, your time's up, and you need to pay now." He isn't going to pay until you've "threatened" him enough to "force" him to pay, so he's totally in control of when he feels satisfied, and if you want the money, you have to play along until then. Plus, let's not forget that erotic blackmail is walking a fine line for us legally, so there's a risk there, too.
And yeah, the principle. I really doubt that your guy "found someone else to do it the regular way." That's not a real thing - he's just trying to pressure you into saying "Wait, come back! I'll do it your way!" Of course, if you actually did it his way, then he could come to the rest of us and pester us, legitimately knowing that there is someone out there that once did it his way. When you let guys push you into compromising your policies (like getting paid first!) and doing things their way instead of yours, the customers get trained badly, and it makes the experience suck harder for all of us, especially you!

Re: Do you do this?
The guys won't even go private from free chat, after a few seconds, when they said they would. They just disappear. How do you expect this type of customer following through in days, weeks, months. It needs to be instant pay for play. Even for dear regulars, as they like to be forgetful, after all, they care only for their own pleasure, and well being, not yours. Pro bono work for a real friend maybe, but this people are not your friends, and only spoils them further to expect this kind of thing.

Re: Do you do this?
Show before payment? No. Hell No. Not a chance in hell no. NO. There was a guy that I am sure others have know. Dr. Wax. He would beg and plead to pay next week or some other out date. Tell me how mean I was for making him pay upfront. "All the other girls let me pay later...why are you so mean?" He would come into my room on SM bitch and moan and never take me private. Always wanted Skype and always wanted to pay next week or next month. I finally had to ban him from both. The funniest show he wanted was for me to do shots with him. Match him shot for shot. After 15 minutes of getting his to finally pay me upfront I found a bottle of Canadian Club in the cupboard with like 1 inch left in it somebody had left behind. I poured it into a glass, rinsed out the bottle and put a Diet Peach Snapple in the bottle. Got a shot glass and did shot for shot with him for an hour. Pretending to get more drunk. As always ending with him trying to get me to stick something in my ass. (not going to happen)
He fell out of his chair 10 minutes before the hour was up. LOL. What a nut case.

Re: Do you do this?
No, I will not do this because this is not a good money making venture for me. Men always pay me upfront before we do anything including texting. However, I let men pay in advance for shows, phone calls, or anything else. :)

Re: Do you do this?
Nope. I play for pay. No exceptions. If they don't have the money at that moment or aren't willing to spend it, so sad too bad.

Re: Do you do this?
It makes you a poor excuse for a business person if you're doing stuff for free in a high risk situation. It shows a clear lack of common sense to perform a service without pay. It doesn't matter if he's "good for it"... if he's really good for it, he'll pay you immediately. Unless the funds are in an escrow service, as a professional you shouldn't do anything without cash in hand.

Re: Do you do this?
No. It's a stupid idea.

Ever.
For any purpose.
No money no show!

Re: Do you do this?
In our business money comes first no matter what, then the service ;)

Re: Do you do this?

This pissess me off as much as the extreme low prices I see at some girls on sites.

Re: Do you do this?
I even make the friends I have IRL who watch me on cam pay2play. I have been going on quite a Twitter rant about it lately too. My time is precious and if you want some of it you will prove it with money.
