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.
