The Rising Cost of the Hobby and Rate Increases

[boredmotorcycle]

I really don't know much about rates increases and inflation over the years in this escorting world, but...

As a man who got into the game just some weeks ago, I find the rates to be quite reasonable in most cases. Reasonable enough to even bring drinks & sweets and leave a tip as well. And no, I'm not a millionnaire at all, although I certainly wish to be, lol.

Either I choose SPs from the usual agencies around here or I stay within my budget when it comes to independent SPs, and only once reached to a "high-end" one, and now it's on cooldown for a while.

I usually book an hour or 90 minutes, and I rarely bother with extras as the full service offered is satisfying enough for me. And considering all what's offered (if offered with care, of course), I believe the rates are more than reasonable given the good work these women do.

I hear u man. I started this 3 years back and only do this when I visit CA as the scene in my country is horrible, both in price and quality.

I felt the exact same way you did until I started scrolling older posts here

These complaints are by the guys who were active here before covid.. dig through some old posts and review threads and youll see what i mean.

Top tier providers (gorgeous, IG model types) were doing 250/300 an hour, sometimes less!
BBBJ, DT CIM galore
Those same ones - who are far fewer now - are now 500/600 per hour and often refuse 1 hour bookings

Even though the video numbers are not verified, it seems there are facts around the same phenomenon around the world.
Which leads to the assumption that it's not the industry having this change but more widely an inflation side effect.

Welcome to Merb!

Personally, I've found rates to have remained the same since I started 3 years ago. I started in Toronto, where the rates are pretty high. Montreal's rates have slowly been catching up with Toronto.

The popularity of OnlyFans might be a reason for increasing rates besides inflation. The OF opportunity can be far more lucrative and safer than escorting.

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

Only ever tried hobbying in the US once. Terrible experience both in terms of price and service. Having the threat of law enforcement in the back of your mind was pretty bad too. Neither you or the girl are safe.

Canada is a pretty good middle ground, overall.

I've visited providers in Europe too. I'd say Europe has the best market in terms of price, quality, and safety.

Similar video but about Thailand: Thailand inflation

Prediction: Escort rates will skyrocket

Highest demand escorts (rated 8+, aged 18-21) are essentially unavailable in Montreal at any price.

Seen perhaps a dozen (at most) during the past 5 years.

Prices will have to rise to attract new talent.

I don`t think they will "skyrocket", but I`ve been thinking for a while that agency rates are probably too low for the market. Yes folks, too low. Don't send tomatoes my way please. When demand (for services), exceeds supply (of labour), prices should raise. This seems to be the situation we`ve been in for a while, regarding agencies.

Agencies are able to offer prices that low because it is high volume the minute they raise prices to Indy levels they quickly will loose their appeal.

This new generation of girls do not seem to want to escort. Seems to be the prevailing mentality of that generation, they got this stigma of being an escort. I heard often they say I do not want to sell my body like a prostitute. Must be the constant exposure from the media by feminists at how bad it is to sell sex and that men are evil. I do not think any price will convince these young girls to work as escorts.

As you know, there is a large gap between indy level and agency rates. I`m talking about a small increase here. It`s not sustainable to have a market where demand exceeds supply.

Tbh Im pleasantly surprised to see how accepted it is. In Mtl it seems to be way more socially accepted...many young, very attractive girls are face out posting themselves at local restaurants and concerts.
Where I am theyre socially ostracized to the point where most wouldnt be able to do that

I dunno. 10 years ago it was so easy to find strippers for take out, now it is very hard. I got this speech from these young girls, I do not want to sell my body like a prostitute. Besides the facts are clear at how there are less and less young girls becoming escorts. At least that is what has been repeated on this board often.

Does demand outstrip supply? For certain hyped girls, both indies and agency, absolutely.

But it’s a little after 1pm, and about half the girls at Euphoria and Forever have at least some same day availability. When I checked earlier this morning, about 3 or 4 were fully booked for the day at each place. I would imagine similar patterns at Vog and the smaller agencies.

I don’t get the sense that there is a demand imbalance market wide so much as a rather limited number of “impossible to book “ girls and let’s say reasonable availability otherwise.

"I dont want to sell my body like a prostitute"

until recently i always thought this was the default POV for any girl and and that the only ones who would do this had major personal problems...stumbling across the scene here and this board changed my view completely

The thing is I never heard this line before. This is now with this new generation of girls I heard it. Definitely a generational shift.

With the current affordability issues the market for non-pros and part timers who don't want to put themselves fully out there is better now (or at least as good as) than it has ever been. When one door closes a window opens.

Thats shocking to me haha, idk where u grew up but sounds like some super progressive or sex-positive society.

Women talk mad shit about each other and one of the main ways they tarnish each other's reputation is by slut shaming...ive seen this throughout college and even into adulthood both in conservative parts of the country and in Chicago.

Thats the main reason I assumed most girls who do this (or other forms of sexwork like porn or stripping even) had major problems to take on the social burden of this. obviously thats not the case here.
