Big corporations have kept US salaries from rising too high by importing foreign workers (e.g. H1B visa workers in the IT sector - although outwardly the reason given for these special skills visa is 'not enough STEM grads in the US). While we do get seasonally traveling Brazilians, missing lately from RM are eastern europeans, russians, and ukrainians who helped keep the competition up. But the war has disrupted that flow. And there's a good argument that elderly gay men need a better supply of reasonable escorts than Microsoft needs half-price H1-B techs to replace the expensive US ones they have. Let's use H1-B for the professions like gay escorts where there are real shortages. + jessmapex, + DrownedBoy and Walt 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+ glycine Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 I've paid 500/hr a few times for guys who were pretty famous in porn / online, and honestly idk if it was worth it. I'm a cash sub, so the idea of paying more money to guys turns me on but I would rather the rate be 250-350 and then I tip another 300-500 during findom sessions + BenjaminNicholas and Quincy_7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think even if prostitution is legalized, hiring for sex will remain illegal as that's now seen as the much greater crime and defined as a predator. And ironically, jailing their clients does the most to harm sex workers by taking away their income. coriolis888 and + DrownedBoy 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Becket Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 (edited) Come on guys. It's just like television. Sometimes there are reruns (in threads and TV). And they are popular because not everyone got to see it (or read it) the first, second, or fifteenth time. But so what. If it's a rerun and we've seen it, what do we do? We change the channel. If a thread is a repeat for you, here's what you can do: Go to another thread. Perhaps there are new guys who never read old threads. Or maybe, like me, you can't remember anything. But thanks, BN.

+ jessmapex Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 I think the tread is interesting. I got to read many different aspects of the issue. This is the only place where a topic like this can be discussed from all angles. It's not like NYT or WSJ or CNBC is going cover it. Those who are tired of the topic, there are plenty of other threads to read on this forum. Wolfer and coriolis888 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps, but I think it is also because more and more younger guys don't see this as taboo or that it crosses some cultural line that will permanently damage their "reputation.". Therefore, they may actually have another regular source of income, and simple the idea of having an occasional additional $500 a couple of times a month is their only goal with placing an ad. + jessmapex, + goosh69, + KensingtonHomo and 1 other 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if you filter out the kids, it seems like the newcomers are charging less. It also seems like many are just doing this as a side gig alongside their full-time job. They're not looking to travel America, stay in fancy hotels, buy the latest fashions, or take a selfie next to a Porsche.

A lot of the guys are doing this as a side hustle and then you don't see them ever again. Very smart if you ask me.
