It is 100% an indicator of the economy.  Google "the stripper index" 
a friend of mine told me about it and it has been academically researched and found to be true that sex workers are the first to feel the effects of a recession.  A rise in providers would be an indicator of this, which goes hand in hand with the drop in work for providers too, so they are getting hit both ways - less work as well as more competition.

Isn’t all the math off? If one's aim is to compute a percentage of change where increase is the consistent trend it's not taken as an average of the increases because there are multiple pre denominators and variations in absolute numerical changes that are not reconciled by averaging all percentages. Composite increase is 34%. If my grocery bill across a number of stores was $2066 then subsequently $2770 taking the $300 as absolute minimum estimates then the inflation is 34%, not 29%. Any unusual outlier unduly influencing the computation of a general average change for the list of locations is nullified by the composite approach. 34% is the metric whether you divide composite post by pre or divide [post minus pre] by pre. Same arithmetic error with the Latino pool. Maybe I should commission the OP to do my taxes.

It's not weird. I think most people- providers or not- would be grateful of receiving a gift.

Maybe they say 'happy holidays' because they don't know if you are jewish, christian, muslim, atheist - and they just want to be kind and encompassing of everyone.  Your theory is weak- if you don't like people saying happy holidays XXX just say that! 

If you don’t care why are you on a blog asking about it?  🤭

You’re more of an idiot than I thought if you think your demands mean anything to me.  If you’re going to be keep my name in your fat hideous old mouth, then I’m going to have something to say about it.

I have a similar policy but with one difference.  First time escorts get paid at the end.  It's an anti-theft measure.  Regular escorts can get paid up front, because they have more trust with the client.

First time clients should pay up front. It's an anti-theft measure. Regular clients can pay when they want, because they have more trust with the provider.

Actually it did not clearly mention whether or not the providers were female. We all assume they were female because the article would have gleefully told us otherwise.

Seems to be an extreme reaction to a simple question.  His ad does indicate 'safe only' rather than 'ask me', so maybe he gets overly annoyed by the question.  If you are blocked I think you can log out and then go to his profile to copy the link.  I believe it's only when you're logged in that it would say you're blocked.

I'm polyamorous so it's different I guess. I don't experience jealousy, I experience what is called compersion, which is the feeling of joy/happiness you get when the people you care about are doing things that provide them joy and happiness even if they do not include you. My previous BFE provider and I met regularly, did overnights, traveled, etc and when we were not together we still chatted and what not and I knew of their travel schedule and I would tell him "Hope you get tons of good work in X!". IDK, it's not an issue for me jealousy that is. With other providers am more comfortable with and we've arranged a set rate already I always tell them that if we have a booking but someone else is offering more for that time, to let me know and we can move it to another time/day no problem, I want for them all the success in the world.
Maybe I'm just weird 🤷‍♂️

Perhaps it’s the strip club veteran in me… 
I understand the transactional relationship entered in. Sometimes there’s a genuine friendship formed but it’s rare and often complicated for a variety of reasons. 
 
If you are catching feelings for a provider that’s understandable, but it’s taken to the point of jealousy/envy. That’s not healthy full-stop!  The fantasy is turning into a delusion. 
 
If you ever date a stripper, you have to be ultra secure in yourself and what you bring to the table. Even having stripper friends, I’ve reminded them at work. “Listen I know we’re pals, I’m just drinking tonight - there’s some whales here go earn your rent. I’m staying til close as usual”.   Lol. That was when I was a regular before the day job came back in my life. 

If it’s already framed as human nature, normative, for the idea of various levels of others’ attachments to influence our subjective sense of relative worth or personal mojo, or alternatively have no bearing on the dynamics of transactional intimacy, what’s the point of a type of survey about it? Day to day pedestrian interactional affect and a categorizing of some relatability to jealousy versus none at all is the most likely thread yield. The topic is interesting to the degree that somebody chimes in with a description of being monstrously jealous, of being delusional about expectations to feel uniquely special. Anyone … ? No judgement on this board.

Expert advice has been given on this forum countless times……That advice was and is ….”Enjoy your BFE for as long as it lasts and never forget it’s a fantasy!” So by default, you need to not have a reaction when hearing about other clients. It’s still good advice!

I've had to cut clients off when they behave this way and cross the line and they cannot separate reality from fantasy.
big difference from being friendly and being friends. I have genuine affection for my clients but there is not one that I would engage in outside of a work/client experience. 

I highly recommend you put this in your RM bio. 

Pardon my sarcasm, but with this as the set-up, what could POSSIBLY go wrong?

I don't know a single provider who would rather steal $50 than show to the appointment and make another $300.  

I use that and get it free at my sexual health clinic. I use it if I’ve been at a sex party or club and had multiple partners there. 

unless you suck dick with a Condom on - you can get every single one of them through oral sex. 

Actually, there is no law that includes rape by deception wherein two adults consent to having sex and then one does not pay the other. The examples, which largely have no led to prosecution (which I think is unfortunate given the circumstances), involve the perpetrator disguising themselves as another gender, pretending to be another person, or claiming to have a vasectomy when they didn't.

In case you didn't realize, in your examples the theft wasn't sex. If you want to change the example,  say I allow you to beat me up for $100 and after the fact, you decide not to pay.  I think its clearly obvious that what you did was assault, not theft of service, but apparently some might not.  They'd be wrong.
And there are no guarantees of an orgasm with sex, but if a provider DID make that guarantee and didn't deliver, you would be well within your rights to withhold payment.
