I don't think rates ha ve changed that radically over a while. I recall in the 2010s, it was similar. I've often wondered why £150-200 is the set rate for an hour in the UK, and has been for some time. It's not an economic costing thing, is it? Or a cost-plus thing. It seems pretty arbitrary. But you're right - escorts charge what they wish, it's their (or your) prerogative.

NYC is a major world city. That alone gets custom, even if it's illegal in NY state and most of the US. Morover there is a World Cup on, so the biggest sporting tournament ofthe biggest sport on Earth attracts people.

I'm giving a reason why they may do this. Not all STIs are as serious as others. I cannot read their minds as to why and only give specific suppositions. Some can be treated by antibiotics or what have you. You asked why peole do this. I gave a suggestion, which can only ever be a suggestion.

if a person can just get a jab or take a tablet a day after fucking, it would encourage a lack of condom use.

Prep has changed this.

I went for the first time a few weeks ago. more interesting than the British Museum and Natural History Museum next door imho.

Spain are favourites iMHO. most balanced team. Then France and England. Germany and Argentina aren't all that compared to yesteryear, and yes Argentina are the holders. Portugal still rely on Ronaldo - GOAT status aside he's old. Their younger stars like Bernando and Fernandes don't do much.

Some random ones I listen to about sex: - Holly Randall - has lots of porn stars, but mainly cis/trans and not many men. She has got hotter imho in recent years. not that she was ugly before but she just seems stunning lately. - And Now We Drink - i don't know who the guy who present it is, but he appears well-connected in the porn industry. He has a number of top-level stars on there.

People who earn more by definition are less affected by inflation. A high proportion of escorts are full-time, so like everybody else how inflation affects them is relative. In other industries, high earners often raise prices to their peril, as optics matter. I'm nto saying it's right or wrong, but it happens.

reviews are overhyped. Experiences differ. reviews make little sense when something is subjectively perceived, and this applies to escorting also.

I've never escorted before, so my view here may be way off. I'd say for any big city in the world, charging $300-400 USD an hour is fair. And if one sees two or three clients per day over a five day period, then that's $3000 a week minimum (assuming clients stay an hour at a time).

escorts earn a lot more than the average person. they aren't retail workers in Walmart.

Communication styles can be subjective. the client clearly thought something was too impersonal. but what exactly? this hasn't been evident. the provider wasn't rude.

I just responded to your point and i said it was a weak analogy. others came to a similar conclusion. so what's the issue? youy make points online, others respond.

Yes, since i commented it was a weak analogy.

The unPC answer and the elephant in the room is that clients who do this usually don't want uglies contacting them. which is their right to a good degree. but then you have a strong point, they should prepare for anybody.

The analogy isn't spot on. as there are plenty of restaurants that are long-lasting that have dresscodes. the expectation is that certain restaurants, like in any other industry, will have a certain USP, branding, or positioning they are attempting to portray. as for denial of service, depending on the jurisdiction/country, this is moot. denying service to somebody wearing brown shoes may not constitute a protected class, but then firms seldom deny service on that basis alone.

I fail to see such. He wasn't rude or dismissive.

Seems like a drama queen. I didn't note any impersonal vibes.

Ys iut is worth it. The economy needs more skilled jobs. The failing though is people aren't strategic with their choices. They go because "society" tells them too. One shoudl have a career path one intends to go into.

I believe a table is where it should be done, per what professionals say. Though i've had good massages on beds before. I have no preference, really.

I cannot speak to the USA. But in the UK, a "standard" rate is £100-250 for an hour. That's for a "normal range" escort, whether gay or cis. High-end is above £300 an hour. Most people who advertise here on Rentmen, Sleepyboy, Vivastreet, Adultwork, etc. charge in that range for whichever sex/gender. This has remained the case for some time. I recall in the 2000s, it was so. I don't think escort prices work via a calculation of revenues and intended profits. I doubt they get management accountants to do this. It just seems like a convention that's stuck. If one doesn't like their prices, move on. I personally wouldn't pay over £300 an hour for somebody, especially if they offered normal services like anal or BJs. It would have to be an extended session or they offered something specific. Like if htey were a trained tantra provider offering a massage and sex over a few hours, I'd consider something more than 300 per hour, but that's me.

apart from aesthetics, it's also about potential leaks. some could be scammers and are looking to blackmail or just fuck around people by saying openly "haha. he tried to book a male escort". it's also bad on them, since somebody's picture is covered by data protection laws. A stranger with a pic, even if they accept the client, cannot be trusted. I don't thik there is a right or wrong answer here. Escorts often might say "no black guys" or "no Arabs" or no "whites"(which wouldn't make sense in European countries for obvious reasons). That's discriminatory, but it cannot really be stopped. I can see both sides of the argument, as it's nuanced. I feel that whilst an escort has a right to choose their clientele, they shouldn't necessarily expect such people to be hunks. It's not Grindr. Not all sex is made equal, and it seems they lack the professionalism or life experience to compartmentalise. Cis female/male escorts generally recognise not everybody will be a hunk, but it is what it is. This doesn't mean that they must accept anybody. If a client is foul-smelling, either by not washing orvia a condition, or has a heavy cold/flu, or other communicable disease, they should feel free to turn them down. Escorts often share info on clients who are dangerous, which is wise. You see on Youtube escorts being interviewed and they'd often say that their clientele whilst not exclusively uglies cover wide range of people and they only on various criteria would they decline them. That seems fair imho. I'm not an escort and probably wouldn't become such, but i'm not sure i'd be that picky. Money is money. Provided they were clean, safe, and respectful, then I wouldn't really mind. But that's just me.

waffle. and unrelated to his point.

It's their right, of course. Though this is tricky in places where it's legal. Denying service arbitrarily isn't legal in many countries. There is a tacit understanding that clients of any description may show up. And it's a myth ot say that only uglies use escorts. that's completely false, since escorting has for literally millennia been a path for anybody looking for easy sex. If escorts want pics so be it. there is no rule or law sayig they shouldn't. but then offering paid sex is not the same as normal hook-up sex, and it really takes a definite kind of person to be an escort really. provided a person isn't stinky then generally most don't mind.
