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.  

[BigK]

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).

[nomad]

The bidding war you're referencing is limited to high demand areas like the Marina, Fillmore, Pac Height and Russian Hill.  Largely being driven by tech workers being pulled here by AI companies.  They are paper rich.  There are many other areas where it is very apparent the city still hasn't recovered from the remote work exodus during Covid.  SF has by far still the highest rate of remote of any major city.  It still baffles me that traffic on Fri sometimes feels like weekend traffic in the financial district and there is no one about.  New mayor is doing well to try to pull people back into the city but it will take years.  Union Square has so many empty shop front.  So many retail and food places collapsed during the Covid exodus.  

There are more guys asking for $400.  It doesn't mean they won't accept less.  If you don't ask, they won't tell so you will never know.  Everyone is tightening their belts so depending on how much demand they have, they are open to mtg for less.

If you say so...

I do.

I have taken to having an escort do 3 days for 1500.  I am usually having an encounter upon arrival, later that evening and before bed.  The next day morning, afternoon and night and then morning and perhaps before leaving.  I have an active libido, so I am not struggling to do this.  That makes 7 encounters for 1500 or just about 200 per encounter.  Now I usually take them out to dinner and lunch and make breakfast at home and sometimes I pay for a day pass to the gym for them when I have a training session.  So I get three full days of company and a lot of sex, for a man of my age.  They get a guarantee of money, no hotel fee and use of my pool and several meals and a day at the gym.  In truth, I enjoy the not fucking part as much if not more than the sex though I thoroughly enjoy the sex.  A three day, usually midweek encounter once or twice a month keeps me satisfied enough that I am not usually looking to hire otherwise and if the urge hits, I hit up the apps for a NSA encounter.  

Now the finances of this or the personal situation I have may not work for everyone, but it works for me.  In addition, every once and again, the escort and I will go out and manage to pick up a third guy that is hot enough for the escort to do for free and for me to have included in the threeway.   

Think out of the box rather than moan about expenses that are only getting higher for  we hobbyists.

Wow, I see 1200 quoted for overnights, so 1500 for 2 overnights seems like a great price!

[+ purplekow]

I am like the anchor store at a mall.   He knows he is going to be able to pay for his trip to town and have three days to plan for the rest of the time he is in the area.  The frequency of these encounters accounts for his willingness to give me that kind of rate.  

[BaronArtz]

I work/live/hire in NYC.  Even before the price increases , I did move away from hiring escorts to hiring masseurs instead.  There is no shortage of talented guys out there who will give you a great massage and a truly erotic experience for 250-300.  It is not that I am cheap, I find that a  market segment that satisfies my needs - and more.

Going back to escort rates, there are plenty of guys asking 300-350 who are willing  to work hard to give you a memorable experience.  You just have to find them,  This forum is a great resource.  I find there is no need to pay 500 or more.  Just because he looks so great?  No thanks, not for me,

This is a thing very hard to talk about… but I already received messages from guys saying that they dont pay my price and another clients said to me that if I charge less then my price they wouldn't hire me (a few times).
