These are a few questions I most often get asked. Click on the question for the answer to appear below.
Technical Questions...
I'm verified by Date-check, Preferred411, RoomService2000, and endorsed elsewhere within the local community.
You can find a small smattering of how others may have perceived our time together written in the usual places. The current systems for most escort reviews are not set up to communicate the depth and intensity of longer times spent together; paths to pleasure and fun that might be taken are beautifully complex and varied. Interactions and communications between me and anyone are private affairs...
I have very mixed feelings about reviews, please communicate with me if you wish to write one.
If we've previously met, I'd be glad to give you free VIP access for 6 months from our last date. Please contact me and I'll send you a username and password.
If we've not yet met, access to the VIP area requires screening and a $100 deposit that goes towards our first date (within 6 months).
For the prescreening form, login, and lost password information, please see the VIP access page here or linked under "Affiliations and Misc." on the top menu.
Why didn't you answer my email?
I try to respond to all sincere emails promptly, usually within a day. If I have not responded in a timely manner, this is usually because:
1. Your email was uninformative
2. Your email was explicit
3. I did not receive your email due to a technical error (please make sure it was sent to Rachael@RachaelBenedict.com - check the spelling!)
4. I was out of town for a few days and could not respond - in this case, you will probably receive a gushing email when I am back home!
I let conversations fade which are not clearly leading to our actual getting together, and I am terrible at corresponding when I am not interested in meeting.
I’d be more than happy to privately refer you to the Play Boy and commercially published photographer I worked with to take my pictures. He has asked me not to publicly credit him, as he does not advertise his services for this type of venue.
I did. All wording, graphics, Search Engine Optimization (SEO), and color scheming are 100% by me. You can find when I last updated this site in the grey text at the bottom of each page. I think it’s important to frequently change small things as I continue evolving.
Thanks a bunch for the many compliments, but I do not design websites for other companions. I can confidently refer you to Bella at Your-GFE.com who is very reputable, professional, and has been designing adult sites for many years.
On Getting Together...
I've never enjoyed the company of a Companion before... will you be my first experience?
I'd love to, and would be honored, to be your introduction into this world. A leisurely dinner together will be sure to relax any apprehensions and nervousness you might feel, and we'll both naturally become seduced to have further conversations more intimately together at your place.
Can we extend our time together?
If I'm free, then it would be my pleasure!
Please let me know ahead if this is a possibility, especially if considering turning a dinner date into an overnight (I'll bring a change of clothes, and won't forget to feed my fish, just in case). Assuming I've indicated that my time is clear, just slip the additional honorarium in my purse or place it somewhere obvious... and our fun together will continue even longer!
If our date begins before 7pm, please be prepared to extend to my 14 hour overnight (1250) at minimal. If our time together commences after 7pm, we can extend to 12 hours or more.
First rendezvous with new friends will always begin with meeting in a social venue.
Even if we've met before, I tend to get lost very easily, so I appreciate you escorting me to your room if we're reuniting at a hotel.
I've been considering a few "dinner date tours" across the country, due to this being my most frequently asked question.
I occasionally travel, for personal reasons, so don't hesitate to drop me a note just incase I might end up in your city.
If we've already made a personal connection in St. Louis, I'd love to travel with you. Please don't hesitate to inquire.
How much lead time do I need to give when planning our time together?
If we’ve never met, please plan atleast 3 days in advance, although I often plan farther in advance. All details (time, hotel, etcetera) need to be confirmed no later than 48 hours prior to our getting together. We will arrange our meeting via email, and I'd like to call you when I'm on the way. Planning our time ahead is always most preferable.
I encourage making our arrangements in advance; however, if planning more than two weeks in ahead, you must touch base with me at least one week in advance and again within two days… if we’ve not naturally kept in touch! If we’ve planned in advance and not kept in touch (I understand, you get busy), if you do not touch base with me on the day of our meeting (first thing in the morning, or before 12 noon), I will assume our date canceled on short notice.
I need to cancel... can we reschedule?
I don’t entertain many gentlemen, and I also may be making excuses in my mainstream life to arrange our time together. I also genuinely anticipate our time together (I wouldn't be meeting you if I didn't know I'd like you!). Because of this, your cancellation hugely disappoints me and results in me being without a companion during our planned time together. Please give me as much forewarning as possible regarding any chance of cancellation or change in meeting time (I know flights get laid over, issues arise). The more notice you give me, the more likely it will be that we can reschedule our time together.
If you cancel with less than 48 hours' notice, please note the following: I will ask for a 20% cancellation fee for our missed date. If you would like to reschedule, I will ask for an additional 20% deposit to reserve our future date (this will apply to our rescheduled time).
If, with notice, you cancel on me twice, I will require a 20% deposit towards our date before we start to plan time together. Your deposit to reschedule after canceling on me, assures me that you are sincere in wanting to get together.
The St. Louis network of verified Companions is small, and I share information on short-notice cancellations, time wasters, and bad clients with others.
I always give preference to gentlemen I know are dependable.
I almost never cancel with short notice, and if that is the case, I will make every effort to make it up to you.
Will you drive to outside of the St. Louis Missouri Metro?
I keep exclusively to the West (Missouri) side of the Mississippi, and will drive to visit you anywhere within St. Louis, St. Louis County, or the city of St. Charles. It would be my pleasure to entertain you in St. Louis.
Who will you accept references from, and give references to?
I only accept references from verified "well known" companions who have email addresses that match their websites, advertisements, or reviews. I do not accept references from retired or non-local "under the radar" (UTR) ladies.
I make giving prompt references to "well known" companions a priority. I will give references to UTR and unadvertised ladies as long as you advise me of the email address they will be inquiring from. I do not check or give references over the phone.
How much pre-date and post-date communication do you like?
Friendly banter leading up to the date is pretty awesome, and reassures me that we're "still on" especially if our time together is scheduled very far in advance. Extended lengthy discussions should be saved for over-dinner conversations.
Unless I am expecting your call, I can be pretty impossible to reach via phone (it just usually stays in silent mode). Even if you have my number, and we've previously met, please contact me via email to plan our next rendezvous.
If you thought our time together was great, chances are, I did too :-) I really love to receive a nice email or text after our time together. For many (discretion) reasons, as much as I enjoyed our time together, I will never initiate contact with you post-date.
Will you get a hotel if I reimburse you? Can I come to your place?
I'd love to entertain you at my exclusive, private, Romantic Retreat. Please note the extra vetting requirements on this page under "etiquette".
I will never obtain a hotel room with new patrons and friends. I would only ever possibly consider getting our hotel room (with your prepayment to me, or fully reimbursing me) if we’ve previously met. There are many message board threads that offer tips on discretely obtaining lodging, I would recommend searching those.
I would be happy to recommend some great places to stay, if you need some direction.
Do you entertain women and couples? Will you bring along another Companion?
Women are lovely to look at, but I don’t usually have the intense attraction to be affectionate with them as I do with men. That being said, when in the presence of a man I'm attracted to, I've been known to be quite unexpectedly naughty...
I'd love to bring along another Companion, so that the attention to you can be doubled. A great idea would be to arrange for another Lady to come along, as dessert, after we finish with dinner ;-)
I might be seduced into entertaining you and your significant other, with the following conditions: a $150 nonrefundable meet-n-greet consideration (for casual cocktails with both of you), before we decide to schedule anything further. Assuming we all are agreeable and decide to rendezvous, kindly add 50% to my usual donation.
Will you meet briefly before scheduling extended time together?
If you’ve taken the time to read this site and check me out, I don’t see why we’d need to do that. You should have a pretty clear idea of the fun time we’ll have when we get together. Assuming that you’ve filled out my contact form with enough information and an introduction that makes me feel comfortable, I am confident that we’ll get along great.
I am seeking quality experiences, and my continued genuine enjoyment of this world, therefore I will not waste our mutual time if I don’t truly feel that we’ll have a memorable evening together.
Will you send me a face picture before we meet?
Absolutely not! If seeing my face before we meet is a deal breaker, I understand, and please seek a companion who doesn’t value her privacy and discretion as much as I do. Expect me to ignore your email, if you ask this question.
I have big blue smiling eyes, sensuously full lips, and straight pearly whites... I can promise and assure you, my face is one of my best features.
Preferences, Fun, and Silliness...
How do you know we'll get along for such extended periods of time if we've not yet met?
I've never had one "type" or "clique" of people I've associated with, my friends have always been from diverse walks of life. I love entertaining, and pleasing people. Thru college I was a professional elder companion, employed thru an assisted care facility. This involved not only running errands with them, but going to do fun things like movies and taking them out for entertainment as well. I really liked it, and that job supported me thru most of my undergrad.
I also like casual dating. I love first dates (the nervousness, the anticipation... the release!). I love men. I love people. If it's not obvious, our affairs unfold naturally and uninhibitedly. I love passion and intensity, and I believe that getting to know each other heightens our intimate experiences together.
I simply like liking and being liked :-)
... with all that said, I don't see how I could truly excel and enjoy mere one hour meetings with those I've not already met.
Your "about me" says you're a size 4, what are your other sizes?
:-) I've been getting asked this question quite a bit by those who want to add to my lingerie or shoe collections :-) I often buy myself clothing online, so know that these sizes fit:
Size 4/5 or small
Medium stockings, or long (I have long legs for my height)
9.5 shoe
32DD or 34D bra (32DD fits a little better, but is more difficult to find)
26 inch waist
34 inch hips
What kind of public display of affection (PDA) are you comfortable with?
I will always take your lead, and by default I will have the same body language as if we are coworkers unless you initiate. I will let you know discreetly if it is a place I prefer to retain a more collegial body-distance in. I generally don't mind holding hands or even your hand around my waist, in most public situations. I am not an exhibitionist, but otherwise, I tend to "go with the flow" and what feels natural between us, depending on the social venue we find ourselves in.
I do! You can find a very incomplete list of things I like, here.
What are your favorite drinks? Do you mind if I drink?
I am a total lightweight and thus drink sparingly. I appreciate a good sparkling rose or dry champagne over dinner, and have made up my mind to learn about wines this year. I occasionally enjoy dirty martinis, grasshoppers, brandy alexanders and other classic cocktails.
I don't mind if you drink a little, but please drink responsibly. If you drink excessively during our time together, or appear under the influence when I arrive, I will feel uncomfortable and un-safe, resulting in either not accompanying you in private, or in terminating our date completely. I define excessive drinking as if you can't drive a car, then you can't drive me ;-)
No. I prefer intense mental memories, not Kodak memories.
What kinds of clothing and lingerie requests will you accommodate?
If you have a special preference for nylon stockings over thigh highs, higher heels (my default is wearing low heels), etcetera... I would love to wear or bring along special clothing and underthings for you... I love your suggestions as it helps me narrow down and make up my mind "what to wear". Ofcourse, I always dress for the occasion and will not wear anything in public that would cause raised eyebrows (although I'd love to model those kinds of naughty outfits in privacy for you ;-) ).
When traveling alone thru airports, I will dress comfortably and casually (I'll need a moment to freshen up at the hotel and change).
Old enough to have confidence and emotional maturity, but young enough to not have experienced everything yet. Depending on how I dress and do my makeup, I can look as young as 26 or as old as 35. Late 20s would be a fairly accurate guess of my age :-)
What kind of heels do you wear?
I usually "default" to classy low heels that make me stand around 5'9ish. However, if you don't mind me standing around 6 feet tall and want me to wear higher heels, let me know!
How do you pronounce "Rachael"?
Like Rachel :-) More technically, pronounced "Ray-chel"
Do you ever keep your heels and stockings on all night?
Sometimes, I think it's sexy.
What are your general career and educational interests?
I did the "normal college thing" (pizza, dorm living, crummy job, sorority parties, etc.) and obtained my undergrad from a major university. My interests have changed a lot since I was 23, so I plan to continue working on more post graduate education this year.
Career-wise... I'm lucky that many "mainstream" job skills have been applicable to enhancing my overall experiences in this world.
I took years of lessons and learned to play a few instruments growing up; I can't speak or understand any foreign languages, except for music.
Do you blog, Twitter... participate in social media?
Yes! The internet has many social media tools for networking and marketing, which I make use of.
I blog on this site primarily for Search Engine Optimization (SEO), but you can find occasional depth in it, located here
You can also find me on Twitter.(Please don't assume that because I'm posting on Twitter that I'm reading or able to answer emails or otherwise available... I often "tweet" from my phone while mentally bored at the gym, stuck in traffic, waiting in line, etc.)
I have no allergies, although if you have large dogs in your home, it would be nice if they’re put away when I come over.
Do you smoke? Do you mind if I smoke?
I am a non-smoker, but don’t mind your nicotine habit. Please note that my Romantic Retreat is a non-smoking residence. You are welcome to go outside. Smoking anything else will cause me to feel uncomfortable and terminate our meeting immediately.
Any general age/race preferences?
Assuming that we “click”, I do not see how superficialities such as age, race, or your looks make a difference. I seek and find the beauty within (and it turns me on).
