Theyre still paying a good amount for a block. The 3 minute buffer is just in case they have connection issues and can't actually take th whole block. Remember, despite how it seems, it's not all about us. They have to be fair to the custies too.

I do understand half way. I just don't know why they get the benefit of cooking a block session when they are not committing to it. He should have been charged full price. Not like an extra 17 cents is a big deal, it's just the fact that he got the BENEFIT of a block session, I did not. I would much prefer if I could consider it a lame short private instead of a botched block session. But due to how it was billed I'm just annoyed. I guess my bottom line is, if you're not paying for the block, you shouldn't get the block discount.
I'm even okay with the "opt out" time if it weren't discounted. It's like he got a discount to squelch on a commitment of time.





I just don't see the point in giving them a discount for a longer period of time. Why? We already don't make a high percentage... why take even LESS?
If they are willing to pay the block rate, they will pay the full rate too.
I guess some girls like the block sessions because they feel like they will be "guaranteed" a long private... and I can understand that to some degree, but in the end it doesn't seem worth it. If it's going to spend 15 minutes in private, he'll do so whether or not he gets 10% off.

i agree with you, but experience for me doesn't bear out "if they'll pay the block rate, they'll pay the full rate." i mean - in theory, it SHOULD be like that. and maybe it is like that for some guys. but i've had several guys who've spent decent amounts of money on privates ($200-$300+) who would, for some reason, ONLY purchase block sessions. i used to have block turned off for this very reason but when i had a few good spenders start requesting it, i turned them back on. there are probably other guys who would pay the full rate...but for some reason some of these guys are just quirky about it. even though they're clearly not hurting for money.
i'm glad this thread came up because i had no idea about the first 3 mins thing. i've never had someone pay for a block and only stay 2 minutes. (knock on wood.) i definitely agree that it's ridiculous that it's still billed at the block rate if they're not paying the full price though.
The discount tends to "sell" the block session for me a lot of the time. Also, there are lots of things I don't do unless I am "guaranteed" an amount of time. I have NEVER had this happen to me so whenever I got a block session I figured I had a "guaranteed" 15-60 minutes to give a show. When I say a lot, I mean a lot. I do milk, anal, and squirting in block sessions. For many reasons. I am not going to do "in ass now bb". I need to warm up for anal. I may get "started" in three minutes, but I really don't WANT to do anal for any less than 15 minutes, it's just not fun. For squirting I need to prepare and clean up and it also take a little while. With milk, I'm just not into quickies with milk, it's just not cute to me.
So for me, block sessions seemed to be where it's at, and I'm very sad to have experienced a downside.
The thing is if you are exchanging certain "services" like anal and milk for the block then it's definitely wait until those 3 minutes are up. Do you need to put a towel on your lap for a milk show? Oh would you like to cam2cam with me today? Well let's get that all set up. Since we have a block of time we have plenty of time to relax and enjoy ourselves. And as mentioned above the let down process is not instantaneous, rub, massage, caress and then move into milk play.
And Peaches is so right! It would take way more than milk to shock the majority of us.
I know the 3 minutes sucks, but there isn't anything we can do about it. Also it could be that it is a requirement for their credit card processing and chargeback protection just like the 30 seconds are.

WHy is this thread not in verified though. Gawd.



Because this is important information and - shock surprise - not everyone in CC is, or wants to get, verified. So long as WE know to stall for that three minutes, does it matter if custies know?
yeah, I'm not verified (yet) but I'll be looking to do so today now that I've had enough "thanks"
when I posted this I thought it was a billing error.
sorry if I did bad bad things bb ;-)
But really, if this is giving too much info, move it. I do think it's nice for us to figure it out, and if I had seen a thread like this in the months I was lurking I would have been like "wow I didn't know that", so I can see how it would benefit many model lurkers.
yeah, where is SM;s owner now, reading this..
so are we getting scammed with the block sessions?
seems like it.

DOuble post...
