I live in NYC and don't mind paying 250 approximately. There are quite a few really good guys you can find at that price level. If the guy truly is great, I tip well which would bring the compensation in the 300-400 range. But I am reluctant to agree to 300 as the 'base' rate.

I have seen a few ads that say the escort charges $xxx and although a tip is nice, the base charge is a lot of money so they don't expect a tip.

I think that in NYC/LA $250 - $300 has become the new norm, particularly because guys go from one area to another. Of course, they better be pretty damn good or they won't get a second call as there is just to much beauty to pass around or coming through. I would think in the smaller cities they might find it useful to go to $250 to get a lot of business. I suppose they could keep it at $300 but I am not certain they will get all the attention they want. I could be wrong.

there's no need for escorts to come here and defend their rates to perfect strangers

Hmmmm....Funny how we all read into text differently. I took Kurtis' comments more as informational than defending his rates. Frankly, I don't think the guy needs to defend anything. Personally, I really enjoy the perspective our companions add to the forum.

When an escort's rates are at the top of what I am willing to pay (say $300,) I generally do not tip even if the performance was stellar because I already paid a fair price for what the service was worth. At $200 to $250, if I am happy with the encounter and had a good time, I tend to tip generously ($20 to $50.) If the experience was merely adequate, I just pay the asking price. I am more generous when an experience has exceeded my expectations, and those few times that I decide to spend $300, my expectations are usually pretty high. If $300 per hour is the rate, I will book a one hour session, however, if the rate is $500 for two hours, I might just spring for that depending on the situation.

Currently 188 escorts on Rentmen in NYC with rates $250 or less. That's with Masseurs filtered out. I don't think it's a sign of escorts dropping their rates. Any time I've looked in the bigger markets there have been quite a few top notch escorts charging less than the A-List guys. I think that for many escorting is just one source of income, so they're not even charging lower rates to make it up in volume. It's often just a way of ensuring that an escort will get calls when he wants them. My favorite guys would see 2-4 clients per week. One or two guys cover the marketing costs and the rest are just extra cash. Many of these guys really enjoy a scene that's more like a spontaneous hookup with a stranger under assumed names, rather than the business of bringing an A-List persona to the otherwise undeserving.

 

No, I don't think $300-$400 is the norm. We've been seeing some exceptional men, or men who promote themselves as exceptional, at these rates for quite some time. They represent a tier and not a trend.

Hi - a nicely researched and well presented point. I am not sure I understand the above though, what do you mean? Thanks.

 

It's admittedly a generalization about the A-List and top-dollar escorts. Often you're not just meeting a man for a one-on-one encounter; the escort is in the business of presenting his escort persona. In my typical escort encounter the name just served to identify that the call was from a client -- the name gets peeled away and dropped to the floor with his pants. At that point you're spending time with a hot guy.

 

Many of the top-tier guys whether they're in porn or not are selling an image of an awesome character who is out of my league. The character/persona never drops. The entire session is about how much that awesome character is willing to give up to you for your $300/hr. It's difficult to put into words, but often it can feel like you're not just meeting a guy for his time -- you've stepped into a porn scene where the other guy is the director, writer, censor, and star.

Thanks for doing the research. I think I was looking at only a certain "type" and they were all in the 300-400 range.

Here in Southern California there are escorts who charge $300 and $400 per hour. There are also escorts who charge between $200 and $250. I haven't done a rate distribution analysis, but a quick scan of ads indicates the majority of escorts who list a rate charge between $200 and $275 per hour, not including multi-hour discounts.

At the risk of sounding like a picky statistics, math, language, and vocabulary wonk (which I am) you really can't extrapolate rates charged by a certain "type" across the entire population of escorts and deem it a "norm." That method could easily be used to claim $150 is the new norm if one's "type" charged $150 an hour. However, your statement would be 100% accurate if it read "Increasing number of escorts charging $300 - $400."
