"Here we go, i think this topic has been covered elsewhere, but cant find it, Just been lucky enough to be invited to a gangbang, at a travelodge type hotel, exchanged a couple of messages, then mobile number was sent, with a message, will text you at %o'clock with room number, but within an hour of that last message, a text came through saying, guys supply your own condoms, NO worries there as i always do, but we were expected to split the cost of the room between us, now what happens if only a couple of us turn up, are we gonna get a bigger share to pay, or are the couple who arranged it expected to pay? After all they have arranged the meet, and advertised it as well, are we as single guys expected to pay, is that nearly prostitution, or are we all that desperate for sex, we will apy for it.. Rant over, lets see what others think. I for one will not be attending, because i will not pay for a meet." can i ask if you pay towards the cost of a hotel meet 1-1? | |||

"been to a few of these and in my opinion sharing the cost of the hotel is normal and reasonable. As long as that is all you are paying and not an extortionate amount. And like others have asked if you where meeting 121 would you expect to pay !!! " yes i would if i had arranged the meet, and booked the hotel room. But hey, there are always other options open. | |||

"If anyone is not happy to split any costs they’re not worth meeting, just our opinion of course, would understand if it was one of these commercial events where they charge men x amount, but reading the op it sounds like everyone attending is just being asked to contribute to the room cost. Still trying to figure out how paying for a hotel room or a share of it equates to prostitution though " Because if there are 10 guys there I bet the organiser doesn't ask them for £1.50 each. | |||

No brainer really for us. | |||

"Sharing costs for a hotel room at a meet is hardly prostitution. " It is if they make £20 per head (pardon the pun) out of it. | |||

"Sharing costs for a hotel room at a meet is hardly prostitution. It is if they make £20 per head (pardon the pun) out of it." As far as I know thats not quite what the OP said...he was worried his share of the room would go up if not many men turned up, so it looks like it is just for the hotel room price. Obviously charging for a gangbang that you are guaranteed sex is prostitution. | |||

"thanks for all the messages so quickly, and i guessing the opion is don't pay, don't go. have messaged the couple concerned and said i won't be going because i don't believe in paying for sex." it,s ok to split the cost of a room but it takes the mic when they charge the guys £60 a head theres 10 guys there thats £600 theres no way the room cost that much.so it has to come down to makeing money from sex! | |||

"Out of curiousity though, how is everyone only paying £9 to £19 for a room, admittedly we've only used the travelodge a couple of times, both on saturday nights, but it was £69 wished it was only the £19 people are stating." There are loads of really cheap deals about - people booking rooms in advance for £9. But yes there is a big difference between £9 and £69... though it is still only £6.90 per person if 8 guys turn up. But don't you think it's fair to tell the guy what the maximum he might be expected to pay is? | |||

Yes we do, we also agree that events that charge £20 a head is way wrong, but thats not what the OP said, he asked if it was wrong to ask people to split the share of the hotel costs, and thinks doing so is bordering prostitution, now if they are/were charging men £20 a head then it probably would be but that wasn't what was said. | |||

"just checked on a standard double room for tonight at the said hotel, £55... " might have been 55 if you are booking now... how much did they pay for it at the original time of booking (sunday nights actually tend to be the cheapest for hotels booked in advance).....short of asking to see a receipt you are going to be going round in circles if you think you are being hard done by.... | |||

"No the couple haven't said they want £20 per person or £30 per person or £60 per person... BUT they haven't said they won't be either and from what has been posted neither have they told the guy what the maximum would be or the cost of the room (and they do know the cost of the room). It's easy enough to say "we paid £30 for the room"... BUT they haven't. " I am now guessing you have more information that what was said on the OP as he didn't say what the couple have said , he was asking us would he have to pay more. PS Do us a favour please Polo, can you re set your avatar please as all I can see is a red cross where your arse should be | |||

"I think Pearl necklace has booked a couple or rooms for £12 the cheapest we have had is £29 I think the further in advance you book the cheaper it is" The last Barnsley social we went to, only cost £22 for a Saturday night. We booked about 8 weeks in advance on Travelodge website. We booked a room in York, a couple of years ago Monday to Friday and average room cost was only £30. They charge different rates for each day. Saturday is usually the costliest, and Sunday the cheapest. If you book a long weekend, Friday to Sunday or Saturday to Monday you can get average room cost for about £30 depending on the venue. | |||

"I think Pearl necklace has booked a couple or rooms for £12 " . 12.50 GBP, and I have one night booked in Nov and Dec respectively! At this rate, I can afford to cough up on my own! I hesitated and missed out on the 9.00 GBP rooms, and shan't make the same mistake again when the next lot are released! Back to original topic. I do not accommodate at my own home, and prefer to travel to the gent's home or a hotel to play instead. If the gent prefers not to or cannot accommodate, and suggests meeting at a hotel half way, then I would contribute towards the cost of the hotel. One thing for sure. When paying 45+ GBP for a room, I would not book a room that does not allow one to cancel 24h beforehand without refund. | |||

"Back on topic, The OP sounds like the nightmare single man at a club with the , I've paid so i'm entitled mentality." Making a big assumption there. A wrong one I'd say. He is just questioning a situation where he turns up and someone says "That's £80 for the room me old treacle". Not much wrong with that. | |||

"Think i may have been chatting to the same couple. Was invited to a gangbang for 6 - 8 guys at a cost of £50 toward cost of room. So £300 - £400 is one expensive room, add to that it was a cum & go situation so you wouldn't even get seconds." And i have seen this before on other sites. people making money from singles asking to help pay for room .. men come and go all day all night and its just for the money really. Single men should look out for couples even single woman doing this on sites like this. There are some who will mike everything for what thay can get. You really need to chat get to know the people before meets.Its always lovely if after a sexie night man offer to help pay hotel most of the time if we asked for the date we will pay .jo xxx | |||

It doesn't sound like the same couple as aas far as the post reads, they were not asking for a huge amount of money for each person, just for a share of the hotel room. I would report the profile you are talking about though. | |||

"There is something really wrong with men being asked to pay more than a share of costs. " there is something really wrong with anyone single or couples being asked to pay more than a reasonable share of costs. quite honestly we still stand by the "host is the host" concept. If you have a guest, it is an honour to look after them. | |||

"More on topic than discussing travelodges offers on room rates." At least the likely cost of a travel lodge room is more relevant to the subject than some random comment implying how you think he might behave at a club... Too many couples think they can treat guys like shite and chuckle at the fact people do try and rip them off. Some couples act not far short of being a pimp and hooker. They act as if they are doing the guys some sort of favour by having a gangbang. But isn't it the couple who want the gangbang? Or do they really think they are providing a 'service' and thus feel it is OK to make a few quid out of the suckers? ** off to wonder if you sound like one of those couples** | |||

But it doesn't help when the OP hasn't stated if they were after a maximum of £10 each to cover costs or enough for a 3 week holiday, both are completly different cases and can't be lumped together When we hold a party at home we just ask people to bring any alcohol they intend to drink with them, food and soft drinks aplenty are provided whether they are single male,female or couples, so by asking single males to provide there own alcohol does that make us pimps??? | |||

" You obviously (I would hope) realise I was just making a point about making unrelated assumptions about the OP in a different situation. No it doesn’t help that none of us know what the couple intended to charge those who turned up. Many had taken the line of assuming the couple were not going to try and rip their guests off. I presented the opposing assumption, which is equally plausible. How you describe your approach to hosting parties is the way I believe it should be done….. and no, it doesn’t make you pimps – far from it. I stated previously that some couples act not far short of acting like a pimp and hooker. If I am honest, I seriously think a few of them might be just that and have found a fresh market on swinging sites. We are all aware that escorts turn up on swinging sites from time to time, some sites more than others. And if you have ever had a look around some of the sites which allow ‘pay-2-screw’, the gangbangs advertised sound very much like many you will find on swinging sites. That is NOT to say all gangbangs are pimps and hookers. If I state anything strongly on this subject it is because I dislike the thought of turning a blind eye to people transforming a recreational activity site into a new business venture opportunity - the two should be clearly separated. Hence the need for transparency. If someone somewhere expects cash to change hands, even if it is just to cover legitimate expenses, they should be upfront about what that charge will be from the start… not once the guy is getting ready to attend. " I agree as I am sure most people will with you. Unfortunatly though as I stated on the parties thread the only way you will ever stop people been charged is when people refuse to pay. While people are paying and are quite happy to continue to pay people will continue to charge. I even refused to hold a birthday party at a club because it would have meant guests paying, I know its a slightly different scenario but it still didn't feel right with me. | |||

" Agreed, but I also think if the couple had suggested a fixed contribution when they first asked for interest, we wouldn`t be having this conversation! | |||
