If it's not death, it's "it depends" when it comes to consistency in human behavior. I'm not about to preach what should or shouldn't happen re paying for the room --
it depends!! For me there are 3 factors thatfactor in determining who pays, when:
- Is it a cuck-based meet up or stag/vixen, date pickup? I've said it many times across these fora - my 50+ years of fucking and 7 or so in this 'outside the marriage - let's fuck' lifestyle, has NOT been performing for a couple while the husband watches. It's for my pleasure and pleasuring her. It's, I'm looking to get laid, she's looking to get laid, and if there's a 'he', it's because he is joining in on the fun or could give a ******* that his wife/gf was getting fucked. To me, this makes a big difference in 'for who's benefit is this?' issue.
- Is it situational where she/the couple happen to be in the area, or on vacation, etc., where they're paying for a room anyway? 'Nuff said.
- Am I pursuing them or are they pursuing me?
Group sex, sex parties, gang bangs, and the like have their own rules and you either pay to play or go away.
Do what makes you happy...
All that said, this is (merely) where I'm coming from...
Basic (Going In) Premise - I pay. That's because I'm an ol' skool gentleman (dinosaur?) who is a bit sexist and takes the lead, dominates and is The Guy. Never expects a woman to pay. That's a gigolo. I pay my own way.
...She/They Pay, based on the circumstances. If she/they are pursuing me, or insist on paying, they can pay. If she/they are 'in town" for a few days, they can pay. If I want a woman's sex and she wants to take that opportunity to assert her independence, then go right ahead. (Just wait until we get in that room...
)
If she/they hit me a certain way, I develop a special interest and I might offer to pay. Look at it this way, I don't consider myself a performer and therefore don't see this as a "I'm doing you a favor" or offering my services as a dick thing. On the other hand, if it's your party, you determine the place and set the table.
Oh, and I always offer to pay for a 'let's meet for drinks and see..." type meet up...again, unless she/they insist.
