In my recollection, the "going" hourly rate for a "superior grade"escort in the early 1980s was $150; factoring inflation over forty years, that would be $425+/- in "today's money". There are alternatives; I passed a very pleasant holiday with a,mature escort, aged 58, who in his youth, was one of the most sought after boys in the business. He is yet very easy on the eye, and, his attentiveness to me was a " five star" experience. Cost: $500, a figure he, himself, tossed out, for a long weekend. Just sayin', so please toss no sticks and stones my way.
