I think this quote cuts to the heart of the situation. It's clear this guy's only paying to have a piece of ass in his house. You're a professional and he's not respecting that. Time to dump this client. He's not getting what he wants, and it doesn't sound like he's even paying you enough to compensate for the frustration he's causing.

I helped a friend put together an agreement for her personal training business. She was concerned about clients who didn't respect her time. We drafted the agreement so that client agrees they forfeit the session if they were unprepared and didn't cancel with reasonable notice (e.g. 24 hours). Maybe she experienced the same type of flirty client problem (I'll ask) because one thing she specifically wanted to include was a provision that client had to be properly attired.
