I used to get emails regularly from some escorts back in the early 2000s, one of them being Talvin Demachio. He did some porn, but did it mostly as a promotional tool and wasn't a huge fan of doing porn scenes. He did escorting full time, and did traveling tours around the world. The majority of the time his rate was $300 an hour and he never had a problem with clientele. He eventually raised it to either 325 or 350 an hour a few years before he retired and he never lost clients for it.
I always believed he charged that rate because of the amount of experience he had as an escort as well as his popularity as a pornstar. And seeing most pornstars will charge more if they've done a few scenes before. Does that make them necessarily better than your local escort who will only charge 200-250 an hour? No not all the time. You're paying more for the appeal of having a session with a pornstar than anything else. When it cums to Kurtis, I wouldn't mind paying the 300 an hour rate!
