socurious Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 I mean for a regular escort (not a porn star nor anything like it). People will say those that are "hotter" will be more expensive. But the thing is that what is hot for me may not be for others. In other words, if someone is looking for a beefy not as lean mature men is because such type is what the hiring person considers a 10. I don't think 300 or 350 should be the standard price here in NYC anymore. That's not a decent amount of money for someone who is in the business here. Hiring escorts should be a luxury in my honest opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloKyle Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 300-400 an hour is what I get quoted when I inquire when I'm planning a NYC trip. + Pensant, pubic_assistance and Your Man in Arlington 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike carey Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 There will be a variety of opinions about what 'should be' the going price in any city, but 'should be' doesn't make it so. Escorts have the option of setting any price they want, and clients have the option of paying it or not. The going rate in a market is what it is, what someone thinks it should be won't change that. Is hiring an escort a luxury? Maybe, maybe not. Not all escort experiences feel like a luxury, and from reading these forums as long as I have, a luxury price tag is no guarantee of a luxury experience. Businesses like to portray their products or services as luxurious but reality bites, and they have to offer a product that's truly outstanding or offer a service tailored to a price point they can achieve. Escorts are not exempt from that economic reality. As @BuffaloKyle said $300-400 seems to be where the NYC market has landed. You can wish it were otherwise (higher or lower) but don't hold your breath. I'm not altogether sure that this thread will elicit any new insights that threads about prices haven't already offered, but we can hope. + DrownedBoy, Medin, + robear and 3 others 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYXboy Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 300 is the standard. guys that do porn or what ever may charge over that. New guys might try to charge more than that because they have watched Pretty Woman too many times and have Hollywood expectations of the business. + augustus, Becket, Medin and 4 others 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But seriously...the market determines the price. If the market will bear $300 - $400 per hour and it doesn't bear $400 - $500, escorts will charge $300 - $400. Escorts who try to charge more will quickly learn they can't get more. + robear, + DrownedBoy, + augustus and 11 others 6 2 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+ KensingtonHomo Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 I'm seeing $300-$500 for the first hour, and the second hour is nearly always discounted. So $500-$900 for two hours. That said, I disagree with the OP's sentiment that hiring is a "luxury." The Median household income in NYC is $77,000, which works out to roughly $42/hour. So, an escort is already making 6-8 times the hourly wage of the average person. Now, if an escort averages two clients per day, even at the lower end of $300/hour, they'd be making over $150,000 a year—nearly double the median.

And I’d imagine the median single person’s income in NYC is lower than that. The vast majority of New Yorkers I know make less than that. pubic_assistance and Your Man in Arlington 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a certain amount of time needed to get ready and clean up after any appointment along with travel if it's an outcall, and the overhead is about the same whether it's 1 hour or 3 hours. They can earn effectively more per hour for one longer booking than multiple single hour bookings if the rate is structured right.

+ DrownedBoy Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 (edited) 5 hours ago, Pensant said: Even in second-tier cities, we’re seeing $300, which is fair. I don’t mind $400 for a real hottie. Yup. The most common is 300/500 1/2 hours, and I go for 2 hours if they have the time. I'm glad I'm not in NYC. Hiring someone from RentMen may be a luxury, but paying for sex hardly is, provided you're more resourceful and willing to take more risks. EDIT: To clarify, when I see RM visiting from NYC/LA/SF to Chicago, they charge much higher prices (was recently quoted 400/700 for 1/2 hour ; I didn't even bother to respond). However, different cities have different costs of living, and it seems that when the hotter ones travel, they usually end up at an overnight/party/yacht trip with a rich guy. Many traveling escorts most definitely market themselves as a luxury good. Edited March 27 by DrownedBoy clarify Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many traveling escorts most definitely market themselves as a luxury good. I'm sure they do see themselves as a luxury good. If they are traveling as a companion, they are also receiving a ton of free luxury goods and experiences. But I doubt many of the guys who live in Bushwick and do sex work to supplement their income as a dancer, artist, etc. see themselves that way. We often run into guys we hire at venues here in the city, and they're not living luxury lives. MikeBiDude 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DWnyc Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 I don’t know about “standard” but the lowest I’ve been quoted in NYC recently was $450 for two hours for two people, by someone well reviewed. He started quoting that for one hour for himself only. A series of no’s from me (with bluster on how he knew his worth) then expanded the choices he laid including dropping hints that he was dining with his hot local friend … maybe he needed to cover expenses on the assumption something is better than nothing. The lowest I’ve heard of recently for one hour is 200-250. Again by someone reviewed well on here and elsewhere so”legit” … I’ve generally found providers far more flexible on pricing than discussion here suggests, and I rarely negotiate - it’s the provider throwing out terms.

big-n-tall Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 I think the average in my experience has been $300-350 an hour. There are occasional outliers. The most any one has quoted me for 1 hr time in NYC was $400. The most recent hire I had late last year (in NYC) asked for $400 for 2 hours.
