The prices I encountered in NYC ($135-$400) did not include condoms.  Some included lube.

You can always bring your own.  I never assume providers have them.  It is up to you, of course

Gentlemen, the broader economy and possible pressures at the border are possible contributing factors to escort rates, but if you wish to analyse them there are, or can be, other threads to do that. Please confine our discussion here to what a new prevailing rate in New York is, and whether it has changed. Perhaps whether the rate is a mean, median or mode.

Funny, I have posted a few times with that exact language- while $400 is without a doubt the mode for an incall with an escort in NYC, the median is $350 and the mean is somewhere in between.

Now you mention it, I remember you did post that. Some precision is needed when considering 'averages'.

After asking a few hotties what they charge, it seems to me that if you want a guy with a nice piece, body, face, and personality, it's going to cost $400 - $500 for 1 hour. It seems fair to me. I like to offer rides on top of that.

We’re actually not in a recession — GDP is still growing (about 1.6% last quarter), unemployment’s around 4.4%, and markets are near highs.

 

What’s real is that it’s a K-shaped economy: two tracks pulling apart. Higher earners (above ~$125k) have seen spending grow around 7-8% since the pandemic, powered by stock and home wealth, while the bottom third is up barely 1% and increasingly leaning on credit cards and auto loans just to keep up. Delinquencies down there are climbing. So the aggregate numbers look fine precisely because the top is carrying them — the struggle at the bottom is real, it’s just masked by the averages.

 

I see it as two economies: the upper part of the K is doing exceptionally well, while the lower part of the K is really struggling. 

 

Your income and assets determine in which of the two worlds you exist. 

Providers who always seem to have that green light on seem to have a bad reputation on here and elsewhere. They are just not good or excellent at what they do, and/or don't offer enough value for what they charge, so they don't get much work; therefore, they always seem to have availability. The green light always on is actually a massive red flag! 

That is a good technical explanation worthy of a financial analyst.  Yet generally restaurants are down up to 20%, late night bar business is declining and people are spending less money.  Higher earners aren't carrying the water for all the providers. And the green light being on doesn't always reflect on reputation as I noticed enough well lauded here and elsewhere in similar circumstances.

Today I was looking again at the cowboys4angels website.  Supposedly the services they offer are for women only and don't include sex.  We do, of course, know better.

I was AMAZED to see that most escorts they list in NYC now have a 2-hour minimum (3 hours used to be a strict minimum) and in price range of 750-850 for the 2 hours.  Which brings it close to a 400/hour market rate.  Their premium pricing is GONE.  Sign of the times?  A declining business model for them?  Who knows?

Incidentally, I wouldn't mind playing with this guy:

Do we know if their male companions are available elsewhere?

Yes, seems there are “cowboys” elsewhere. This one from LA/San Diego looks particularly enticing: https://cowboys4angels.com/cowboy/steven/. Seems they may set their own rates and time.
