Yes indeed! 😆

It’s a free market system. Providers can a$k what they want and we can either pay it or move on. I have found in LA, Phoenix and Las Vegas I’m quoted $300-$350/hour and many providers will do 2 hours for $500. In Dallas same thing but I was also asked to provide Uber/Lyft. Thus far in my hobby I have not come across a provider whom I would consider paying $400 (or more) per hour.

Hi forum,

it is def tough to shell out 400 these days,  for me they must have great reviews and a big dick.  LOL. 8in or above but weever then it is a tough call since they want me to pay for uber as well.  after all is said and done if I jerk off the urge is gone.  justice Grindr.

When an escort wants me to Uber them to me I’d decline and look elsewhere.  Occasionally, some have offered to split the Uber and I usually just say let me pay you X  number of dollars more and you take care of your own Uber.

ObangmeCare? There’d be a need to redefine second opinions. I’d volunteer as tribute to beta test revisions.

The problem underlying all of this is inflation, which has increased 25 percent since 2021. So, guys who raised their rates from $300 to $350-$400 over the past couple of years are adjusting for inflation. And the inflation we've had has impacted housing and food the most. And inflation is hitting big cities, making them more expensive to live in and visit. And since inflation is affecting all of us, our purchasing power is lessened. So the guys raising their rates in response to inflation are dealing with clients who feel like our money isn't going as far as it used to. It's a regrettable situation but it's not necessarily greed.

Exactly, I’m in Brooklyn as well and the price of food has gone up more than 25% just in the last year or so, let alone 2021. A very basic meal for two in a casual Chinese restaurant that was recently $44 is now $68.

Oh no! This topic again. He can charge whatever he thinks he’s worth. It’s entirely up to him and his definition of his value. You don’t have to pay it. You might want to hire him but if you don’t want to pay his rate too bad! You can’t afford him. Buy a cheaper guy and see how good he is. 

If you think it’s an easy overpaid job why not set up yourself? See how easy it is. What price would you put on yourself for an hour of doing escort work (don’t forget to add in all the hidden costs - time spent trying to look good, being available 24/7, handling time wasters, advertising, paying for the benefits that employees get as part of their job, taking risks with your sexual health….). Now his rate doesn’t seem so unreasonable does it…

It’s seeming more and more common to be asked for $400 in NYC. Wild times, but everyone is feeling the effects of inflation, including providers.

[Heart It Deep]

I'm not surprised in SF, guys are asking for $400 or more.  

The providers I'm interested in seeing in NYC, are quoting me $400-500/hr.  

Do your due diligence, and check this forum for reviews.  (I got scammed by two people this year, and should have checked here first.)  

For the person who says "it doesn't cost them anything" - I respectfully disagree.  Paying for STI panels out of pocket is two to three hundred minimum.  Considering howw impeccable some of these men look, it means they are spending money on good quality food, and skin products/services to take the time to look the way they do.  

The ones who are put together also probably see a therapist, which is probably $300 or more weekly out of pocket. 

Lastly, I'm sure some of these men are getting ED injections to guarantee erections for clients.  That also costs money.

Actually I think it is more than just inflation - there are reports that the economy is bifurcated, with many people during very well - stocks and housing near records - and also many people struggling.  As providers grapple with inflation, they may sense that they can charge more because there is a willing audience, especially in cities like NYC, Miami and SF, where this obvious wealth being generated and there's always news about some billionaire buying a multi-million mansion or making millions/billions from their business. So FEAR of MISSING OUT - they might as well try to make as much as they can for their niche as there is someone willing and able to pay.  But I have barrier of paying over $300/hr even though I would pay $250 decades ago when I was much, much poorer.   But I wonder if for me, that is because the THRILL IS GONE.

are you guys seeing the new minimum rate for escorts $400?  this seems to be the case as escorts arrive into SF.  this is def making me more wary of hiring the way I use to.  I have to really decide if this escort is worth it.  : (. thoughts?

I’m not sure how objectively accurate this article is, but all the news are pointing to the fact that every price tag is increasing.  It seems the only number that is not rising is our wages.  SF and NYC are neck and neck in most cost of living metrics.

Just the other day, the news on TV states that there is a constant influx of high-tech companies and employees in SF.  As a result, there is no shortage of tenant supply.  In many cases, there is a bidding war among tenants, which, of course, ultimately drives up the rents.  At the end, the cost will be transferred to the “consumers.”  I know this sounds very cliché and borderline elementary school level economics, but it is the reality that we have to face every day now.

I suppose if I don’t have extra $$$ to dine at The French Laundry, I’ll settle for the House of Prime Rib.  And if fund is still short and I’m super hungry, I will consider Texas Roadhouse.  When all else fails, I’ll simply get a piece of meat from the local supermarket and DIY at home myself.   😅

All jokes aside, I do agree that $400 is indeed a very heavy psychological barrier (at least to me, an average wage earner).
