Is there a rate that you will not exceed? I have a dear friend who has been very successful financially. He is generous and quick to pick up the tab. But he will not frequent certain high end restaurants saying he just doesn't feel he gets his money's worth. I think I have a similar sentiment regarding this hobby.

 

This summer I had 2 providers quote what I thought were exorbitant rates. One asked for 350 and another 400 per hour. The latter had good reviews and looked good in pics but the price/pleasure equation didn't balance. I derive a lot more pleasure, and bang for buck, from a multi-hour booking, often with guys I've met before.

 

I look forward to hearing your thoughts and criteria.

I am unlikely to consider anything more than 300 per hour. The cost/value proposition just isn't there from my perspective. I have never been brave enough to hire for more than 2 hours - I am sure an overnight has its merits, but don't think it is for me. Have had a companion stay overnight at my place, but after our fun time (for which I paid) it was sleepy time and I was very respectful of his presence.

Great graphic....everyone has a different cost/value point, and it’s nice to point out they are two separate things although symbiotic.

I think this basically comes down to what your disposable income is for most folks and what you are comfortable paying for, whether it be an escort or a restaurant meal. These are both luxuries in a way, especially if the restaurants are not just mom and pop establishments or fast food outlets.

 

Also at play is the occasion you are marking. For both a meal or an escort, if you are celebrating something special like a birthday, you are more likely to splurge. Same if you are on vacation and visiting a different place far from home.

 

I hire frequently and often for overnights or entire evenings of say 3 or 4 hours. I expect to pay at least 1000$ and a meal or two thrown in. That’s just me. Sometimes I’ll settle for a 1 hour quickie. I consider $250 to $350 the usual fee I will consider. But I wouldn’t rule out somewhat more for a superstar, say a famous pornstar, just for the experience. These have been few in my case.

To answer the OP: if I was single again and wanted to hire, there isn’t a rate I wouldn’t exceed.

 

Based on my wide-ranging experiences in the past, I can say there is no correlation between price and pleasure on a superb date. I had very handsome men (enthusiastic amateurs) do everything but ask for little in return. One of the best physical specimens I dated had below-market rates for years because he didn’t advertise. Yet I also dated 2 men (separately, film actor and pornstar) who had high rates and statuesque physiques…both were as lively as statues in bed.

 

The most beautiful men generally ask the highest rates. Certainly I can understand why guys pay extremely high rates for a man whom they lust over or who is their physical ideal. Sometimes you just have to “scratch that itch“ for a guy you want, no matter the price. I do wonder nowadays how anyone judges what a normal rate should be.

250-300 normal rate

 

400-450 if he's a famous pornstar.

"lively as statues in the bed", I love that metaphor!

I max out at maybe $350 an hour, but will gladly pay $500 for 2 hours. The actually sex time is probably the same, so unless a guy books every single hour he’s at least $150 ahead for the 2 hour gig where he can spent a lot of the time just chilling in bed shooting the breeze.

If it is someone new, I will not go over $200-$250/hour. If it is someone more established, I'll consider $300/hour.

 

I think there is more to rates than money. Someone trying to charge too much may think too highly of themselves. Someone trying to charge too little, may not know what they are doing. I have more trust for escorts that are aware of their market rate.

There are some men of extreme beauty for which I'd be prepared to pay exorbitant rates if they were to offer themselves. Unfortunately, I don't see men like that advertise on Rentmen. Their lives are probably so easy, they probably effectively sell themselves at those high rates, just not as escorts. I see these men all of the time on Instagram on all kind of private jets, yachts, etc. At certain extremes of beauty, there are men willing to pay anything. Look at this string, and you'll see some models, such as Addis Miller, who are obviously being lavished by extremely rich men:

A year ago?....$350.

 

Today?.....$250...trending towards $200.

 

The world has gone to hell in a hand basket.

 

Wake up an smell the coffee kids.

 

Kids?

 

I know about some clients in their 20s and 30s, are you calling them kids? ;)

 

Plenty of talk since March of last year about a self fulfilling prophecy of a buyers market but the Dow Jones is at record high and most wealthy folks are doing pretty good.

 

We do have less clients but also less escorts because some won't take chances catching Covid-19 specially for lower rate.

The highest hourly rate for a guy for me was Damien Crosse. It’s been so long since I’ve seen him, I can’t remember the rate but I’m sure it was between $300-$400 at a time when $200-$250 was the norm. I’ve had a thing for Mr Crosse (and still do) that I came to terms with the higher rate.

 

Unless I know the experience will be absolutely outstanding I won’t go over $300. If some guy, except for Damien, wanted 400 for an hourly rate, I’d be hesitant.

 

Part of my reasoning is I’ve had great encounters with guys, non-porn and porn actors, who don’t ask as much. One porn guy, after our 1st weekend together, only wanted 2k for 3 full days for the next meet up. I don’t know if he lowered his rate for me or that was his sliding scale rate.

Exactly some regular guys asking 5k for a weekend i mean like what ????????

for a few years now, and evidenced in this thread, $300/hr has been the landmark threshold max for many......and it is for me, too......I've only broken it twice: one guy was ho-hum and the other guy was fantastic.......I almost always do multi-hour meets (2-5 hours) and I'll justify a >$300/hr rate if the multi-hour discount (if offered) works out to <$300/hr! :D

 

those under-the-radar "Dubai" guys mentioned by Unicorn in post #14 upthread are the real winners, but we'll mostly never know who they are.......word-of-mouth between trusted clients, photoshoot photographer referrals, attendance at parties at which good-looking guests were paid to attend, right-place-at-the-right-time stuff, etc. are their way of "advertising" and I presume these mystery providers easily command at or above $1K/hr (and, heavens, no multi-hour discount!)......and I'm sure they are utterly charming

There is no one rule for this.

 

I would rate my top hires to

a brisbane gent who i have seen twice, $600 for 3 hours - exceptional

a sydney gent who I have seen numerous times $600 for 2 hours

a Sydney gent who I have seen numerous times $300 for 2 hours

A Melbourne gent who charged $1200 for 2 hours - stayed for about 5 hours and was worth it even if it were just the 2 hours.

 

Personal choice.

 

I also had a $1400 overnight in Bali with an International Escort - and that was worth it too

I'm a value guy too, and yes, I have caps that are firm. No one in this world has enough sensual appeal that would cause me to make an exception. Interesting, while the cost-of-living has risen during my hiring career, my limits have declined, primarily because the overall quality on RM has diminished and the odds of win-win meetings are lower than 10 or 20 years ago.

Tough question but for me it's usually 200-250/hr and I might go towards 300 if it's someone I've always wanted to meet and hang out with. A couple of years ago 200/hr was a stretch but it seems like even the newbie unknown guys are asking 300-400/hr which surprises me.

 

I also think location has a lot to do with it. I know a couple of local escorts, one an ex porn star, and they find it hard to get those rates let alone much business.

$300 is the limit for me, and the last time I paid that, the experience wasn't all that great. I've had better experiences with guys that charge a lot less. There is no one I would pay more for, no one.....because honestly what is the point? Once you skeet the experience is usually over, unless you connect with the provider and there is a more meaningful connection.

I have always told my clients that if a rate will impede their ability to enjoy the time spent, then it's too high and they should find another escort who's more price appropriate.

 

There's nothing worse- for either party- than feeling that the money is forefront throughout the entire experience. It ruins everything.
