Do You Tip a Prostitute?

This whole mess with the prostitution ring and Elliott Spitzer’s dust-up in it is really intriguing. I’m not shocked that a man would pay for sex. I am a little perplexed by the amount of money he paid for sex though. Over four grand at a time is a damn ridiculous amount of money, and it kind of makes me wonder where you can pick up an application for this kind of work, what the requirements are and such. I mean, seriously, this is good work if you can get it, and I don’t mind in the least that someone would be paying for my discretion instead of my fine ass.

Now to the real question…

Do you tip a prostitute? I wonder this not only for proper career planning, knowing how much I’ll be able to put away in a retirement fund for instance, but I also need to know in case I’m on the other side of the occasion.

Now, I would never personally pay for sex, but what if I get a gift call girl? You know, what if someone sends me one for Christmas or my birthday? Am I supposed to tip? Does it depend on what she does and how well she does it?

I feel so uninformed.
