BS galore

Sunny: "You can't believe everything on the boards but I knew from the time agencies introduced GFE that it was only going to be a matter of time. Can you imagine if you spread this to your SO?"
There's no data supporting the current STD scare, neither is there a confirmed date for the introduction of GFE. My very first experiences, nearly twenty years ago, were, for most, GFE compliant. Back then, the outcall biz was flourishing. Rates established at $110-120/hr., given the purchasing power at the time, were plentiful.
Yet, if my memory serves me right, there was no big STD scare related directly to the hobby back then, agency owners didn't show a sign of remorse for coaxing SP's into offering GFE.
Rates, nowadays, have a hard time to break the $160 roof. As a matter of fact, the $140 level is being tested regularly. Business volume has certainly increased over the years, thanks to the internet, but so did competition.
Looking at the last 20 years, the agency rates have increased little while the purchasing power, on the other hand, has decreased significantly. The pie certainly got bigger but there are more players to share it among. Basically, there's a whole lot less money to make in the Montreal escorting biz than two decades ago.
In this context, there is a strong incentive to breakdown the GFE into an
à la carte sort of service, with price tags at the end of each item. Think of cable service: you get the basic package @ a flat rate. If one wishes a specific sport channel that is not part of the basic package, he must buy a "sport package" and extra fees apply.
The problem for agency owners is to know how they will implement such policies without pushing clients away. One solution is to give clients an incentive strong enough so they can decide for themselves to stay away from GFE, hence the STD scare.
Like that, agencies and SP's won't pass for the bad guys. The catch 22 is agency owners are aware that clients will ask for GFE regardless and pay more to obtain it. All they want to do is to work the mentalities so that some sort of safe-GFE service becomes acceptable @ the ongoing rate and charge more for extras.

Finally, exasperated, he stated:
"I am sick of the whole thing. I get blasted all the time on Merb. People want GFE for peanuts and then they fear STDs. I'd say 10% to 20% of the ladies have a good head on the shoulders and the rest...you do not want to know what the reality is."
"The margins on this biz are getting squeezed to ridiculous levels. You can't make the money you used to. Clients are way too demanding. You still have some excellent owners like Martin and John but even they must get tired of the bullshit."
Thanks, Sunny, for illustrating my point. Based on the above-quoted statement, I would ask the members what they think Sunny's preoccupation really is: SP's and clients health or return on activities?

"Trust me, the risks are too high nowadays. GFE is great but if you catch something, you'll be kicking yourself wishing you never knew about this hobby."

You see Sunny is not always full of shit.
And the campaign of fear carries on. No, really, that's FOS. As for you, my General, I regret to inform you that you're playing here an instrumental role.
Je sais, je sais, Elizabeth ne rencontre plus, mais quoiqu'il en soit votre attitude face à cette business est rafraichissante. Merci d'apporter ce petit air frais ici
