You wouldn't be asking the escorts, but the clients. Or you could even use Daddy Reviews since they show the price for time (assuming they are roughly accurate). For example in Denver there are 17 escorts reviewed on DR: Five have a suggested donation of $200 an hour, 1 has $220, 8 have $250 and 3 have $300. So the average escort charges $242 an hour in Denver. I think that is pretty useful information for both client and escort alike. Of course there are limitations...reviewers are not always accurate, escorts change their prices, escorts move or retire, etc. But in doing the math on that, the escort suggested donation for Denver seems pretty accurate. Although I suppose it helps that I wrote about half the reviews myself.

Ultimately, that is what I did. Like I said, I did a sort of "That's a bit more than I can afford for right now, but good luck," sort of message. So at least there is an indication that their price was the sticking point for me and maybe that will lead to adjustments. The "trial and error" as you will. I will likely still browse their profiles from time to time and if they want to message me again, will certainly be open to seeing them if they figure out a price for their time that is more what I am willing to do with them.

This is a good call. There is actually a very well established escort in Denver that has a web site and his rates are much lower. Interestingly, he tried for a bit to go for the $300 rate and then went down again after a few months for whatever reason.

This is pretty solid advice. In one case, the gentleman was offering a "holiday special" that was 2 hours for $500 (normally he charges $350 an hour and would only do the special if you booked 2 hours). Part of it is that he has some experience in massage and it would include that as well. I almost wanted to offer: Most of the time I get a massage here in Denver for about $150 an hour and time with an escort for about $250 an hour. Would you consider 2 hours for $400? I guess it never hurts to offer and worse that can happen is he says no. $500 to me was out of the question as I had just spent two hours with IronMaus for that price, and he is a world-class escort and porn star (and worth every penny).

Thanks..I agree. I've even noticed some of the more established escorts try for a higher rate only to return to them a few months later at a more average rate. I definitely can be patient with some of these newbies too as they adjust themselves to the market.

I recently got messages (unsolicited but likely because I browsed their profiles) from two escorts in Denver that by their lack of reviews and RM member dates are probably new to the trade. In both cases, when it got to talking about what they charge for time, both quoted pretty high numbers, especially for someone with little track record. In both cases, I just gave a generic response like, "Sorry, but I can't afford that at this time." But was wondering if it would be appropriate or appreciated if I kind of guided these gents on pricing. As I have spent time with many of the available men in Denver, I feel I am pretty knowledgable about the going rates and even a bit about how they compare to other cities. But I don't know if that would come across as rude or if it would be welcome. Is there a way I should present this without coming across as being a bargain hunter or whatever? I really do think that in some case their quoted prices could be just not knowing the market. Although of course I will admit that I actually would be potentially interested in spending time with these guys, just not at the rates they are asking for.

I agree..I appreciate when escorts post early...it's often the only way I can get to meet them. Sherman Maus was in town a few days for Thanksgiving and was finally able to meet him because I asked almost the day he posted his schedule in Denver. Last time he came to town I waited and never got a response.

I had a good time with him. I do think he is trying to promote his Just For Fans a lot. He randomly e-mailed me on Rent.men telling me about it a few weeks ago. But I did have a good time with him last summer.

Logan is great. Very chill guy, very professional...though he is definitely a bit older than his profile suggests. Can give more deets if you want them. I've no experience with DiscreetGuyCo...though seems like he'd be great. Other good mid-20s escorts I would suggest are https://rent.men/JohnME or https://rent.men/theonlygotti.

And I always thought getting your daily dose of vitamin D was a euphemism.

Believe it or not, Mike has a full-time job in addition to his escorting. Plus he still does his Just For Fans account (https://justfor.fans/MikeGaite) He probably just doesn't have time.

Mike Gaite is a true professional. He's always the one I recommend whenever someone wants to begin this hobby because he makes everyone feel welcome and sexy. Just a super nice guy and super smart as well. Not to mention incredibly good looking.

I would say I have become friendly with a couple escorts...I have done things like have a few drinks and dinner with them outside of hiring them. But I have always hired them if there was any expectation of intimacy. It's their job after all. And just like you support an artist friend by buying his/her art, you support you escort friend by buying his/her time.

I definitely enjoy having my regulars. Love having that rapport with someone where you kinda understand what turns each other on. Plus in some cases, we have similar interests and I enjoy catching up with them and doing some mutually fun activities outside of the bedroom. But I also enjoy meeting a new guy every once in a while. It's fun to explore a new body and have new sensations as they do things you are maybe not as familiar with.

I actually think there are some escorts that make more money than I do. Both because they are successful and because my job is pretty middle middle class. One of my regulars insists on us going Dutch for our dinner dates because I hire for longer sessions and pay for theater tickets. After getting to know me, he recognizes (and is appreciative) of the significant portion of my monthly budget I spend on our time together.

In my opinion, you can find plenty of guys who will use condoms. Just ask..most of them well and many prefer and some even require it.

John is good. Haven't been with Jay. His ad recently expired so curious if he is taking a break or not.

I've been with him twice. Definitely worth the massage tantra combo. He is actually pretty vers.

Yes! I definitely think that's why this forum and the reviews are so important. If we're going to spend our hard-earned money on this hobby, it definitely should be with someone worth it.

I appreciate the review. Sounds like maybe personal problems getting in the way of the job. I think we've all been there one way or another. Not really something you could respond too, just take a break maybe and try to return when you're in a better headspace. Wish the best of luck to Sean.

Yeah fortunately I have a very solid pension and retirement fund that I put extra money into so I feel like I'll be good for retirement. I live in a fairly small studio apartment. While I could afford a nicer, larger place, I'd rather spend that money on traveling and this hobby.

Interesting way to use your winnings. I definitely would hire more if I struck rich that way.

My co-worker teaches a financial literacy and budgeting class that I sometimes overhear. She talks a lot about how that $5 a day mocha latte adds up more than $1000 a year that could be going to other financial goals. It got me thinking, not about cutting back this hobby, but more just about how much I spend on it. I estimate that I have spent about $7,500 in the about two and a half years or so that I have been engaging in hiring. I don't regret it and in fact save and cut back on other things to engage in this as it makes me happy. But just curious about how other view this expense. How much have you spent on this hobby? Do you feel it's worth it? Is it easily within your budget or do you have to cut other expenses to afford it? Just curious about how others manage their finances in what can be an expensive hobby.

I agree! With my GP I am honest too though that specific question has never come up for me. There is a nurse that handled the PrEp and I am honest with her about my sexual history too.
