The Rising Cost of the Hobby and Rate Increases

Agencies are in line with inflation, I do not find the rates too high however they are often booked solid and much of it is now incalls. So even though rates are in line with inflation, it has turned into a high volume assembly line type of encounter. Girls are pressured to see many clients to maximize profits.

Where I do see a difference is in the Indys. Prices are double some even tripled. The screening, deposits makes it not too interesting anymore. The market is becoming more in line with the US. I believe OFs and other sources of income in the sex business is partly responsible. Girls got other sources of income so are being more selective and holding out for low volume high payout. It is a sellers market now since covid.

And covid changed the world forever. Businesses are in the covid mentality to jack prices up as their justification and they will never stop, once a shark tastes blood there is no stopping it, just as businesses got a taste of covid nothing will stop them. Everyone is more greedier and meaner and that has affected the sex market. I got my regulars I meet from the clubs, some I have been seeing since 7 years. If they were all gone, I doubt I will book escorts, definitely not Indys with all the screening and the low value for what is received, it is just not for me. Most likely I would be back to stripclubs and probably go to SA.

i only started this a few years ago in 2022...but coming Montreal is nowhere close to being bad as the US. Both price and quality wise. Most 600usd/hr providers in the States don't do bbbj or dfk...it's insane

Well it is a matter of perspective. But comparing the US market to Canada is like comparing Canada to the Dominican Republic or Thailand. These are very different markets.

I disagree. Both are developed "first world" anglophone countries unlike the DR and Thailand and are certainly comparable. The US is just uniquely awful for hobbying, quite possibly the worst place on earth.

Dominican Republic and Thailand are not developed countries at all, they are more developing countries, 2nd world countries, I would go as far to say that DR is borderline 3rd world country. The thing is market prices are based on the wages of the local market. Salaries in DR and Thailand are low which is why hobby prices are low. About US, I would have to agree with you it is the most hostile place on this planet for sex work. But price wise it is similar to Australia.

I looked up the prices on Scarlet blue (Indy Australia website) and was surprised to see rates similar to the US. However, the providers mostly show their faces, services including niche fetishes are discussed openly, and there is no mentioning of invasive screening. This makes it vastly, infinitely so, superior to the US market despite the similar rates.
