I’m absolutely questioning your morals here
I don't think @Obvio-0bvio has bad morals (by Merb standards anyway lol). You wouldn't be the first one endlessly going back and forth with him on a total misunderstanding lol

Excuse me, but I believe you are crossing a line by bringing up minors in this discussion. It is inappropriate and disrespectful to mention minors in this context. Your lack of ethics and manners is disappointing. Such behavior is unacceptable. Goodbye.Anyone that is taking money directly from someone that is doing sex work as a cut is a pimp. It’s not a matter of point of view. And yes according to the law, anyone involved in facilitating sex work is considered a pimp, that’s not my approach but that’s it.
I’m absolutely questioning your morals here, because like you said yourself. Your number one reason for not seeing pimped girls is because of services. You’re just admitting that you continue to see agency girls that are not in the best situations because you are prioritizing the service that you’re getting. I also really don’t understand the point of this thread. Are we now gonna start discussing the pros and cons of hiring minors because their services could be good ? What is this.
You don’t understand how this works and you keep giving your opinion. Girls are not associates to owners, they’re under them. It’s not a matter of greed, it’s being predatory. Just please stop talking about this distinction that you’ve never experienced and never will.

They are getting around 150$ that’s the thing. At least for outcall girls. It kinda doesn’t matter if you’re being the best client if the girls are being manipulated and abused in an agency. People are continuing to seek out agency girls because of price convenience, again, nothing is pushing you to inquire their services but you must know they’re not getting paid much and are being immensely pressured to break down their boundaries to give you that « good service ». Hence why so many get fired.
Well according to the law we are all criminals doing what we do right? Do i consider myself a criminal? No. The same way i never did when i would smoke weed before it was legalized (and funny enough i have not smoked anything since it did got legalized lol). Pimp is used in general as a deragoty term to describe an abuser. If you want to be blunt and use it its pure description... fine. But thats obviously not what we refer it.Anyone that is taking money directly from someone that is doing sex work as a cut is a pimp. It’s not a matter of point of view. And yes according to the law, anyone involved in facilitating sex work is considered a pimp, that’s not my approach but that’s it.

This isn’t about pricing. I was replying to someone who said they wouldn’t be comfortable paying an indy 150$ but that’s what ultimately a lot of agency girls are getting. Im guessing that you were a driver or something ? I’m glad no one shared a bad experience with you but like why would they? You’re working for the agency that would have coerced them, you know it’s like if my boss was abusing me, I wouldn’t go complain to his friend.When i booked in 2014 they were actually getting 150$ out of 180$ Agency took 30$ per hour. I was getting 10$ per call no matter how much hours. So if it was a 2h i still got 10$, SP got 300 and agency got 50. So with prices at 260-280 i would be very surprised that they only get 150.
Also remember that everything an indy has to pay for at an agency is included. Incall place, advertising, website design, driving if outcall (unless she prefer to drive herself), and most importantly, she has NOTHING to handle herself and thats something some agency girls really enjoy. I had a few tell me directly. They show up for work, do their day, and once its done thats "don't bother me til i contact you to give you my next availability". Not every girl want to deal with the booking process, even if there was no time wasters (wich sadly there is a lot).
Everytime i spoke to them never was i been told they "had to do something". Yes the GFE is pretty much standard, but they know before applying to work there. After that, some girls been in agency for years not offering cim and thats fine. Thats their boundaries. They just have to be firm about it.
Girls who get fired usually its because they behaved in a way that was unnacceptable. Either very poor service or extreme flakyness. If anything the rosters have been in general pretty steady over the years at most agencies with only a few addition here and there. Its because these girls are good at their job, the agencies likely apreciate their business, everybody is happy.
By your post i could feel some ressentement toward agencies. Maybe you had a genuine bad experience. Im not judging you. But you have to understand that different business models and competition is what keep any market afloat. If indies could charge 1500$ the hour in Montreal, well they would. But there will always be some that would charge less and draw the business, making it slow for the pricier ones and eventually they would have to "adjust" as well. Right now it seem the market is able to handle itself well under the 2 models. Great.
But lets pretend every single ones of the agency girls become indy and charge 500$ (wich is what most indies charge now). No way they all get business and are able to stay alfoat. Because lots of the clients who book them every week for instance, they would have to book once every 2 weeks, maybe every 4 weeks if they also have to cut by half on different girls. Maybe they would feel they don't get enough for their $ and just book much less often. We don't know.
Last time i was in Montreal i saw 2 providers in 1 day. So i paid about 600$ total. But not only i saw 2 different persons but also had 2 hours. It made the trip and all it include (transportation to montreal, scheduling having to match etc) worth it a lot more than if i only saw 1 provider for 1 hour. Now will i do it sometimes? Pay 500 or maybe even 600 for 1 provider/1 hour. Yes... i may. Someone i been craving to see for a long time either as a repeat or because she has an OF or whatever. But would i put 600 on a random providers with an agency presentation? Likely not... If im putting 600 i want to know who im seeing (including knowing what she looks like facially). But thats me... Thats my budget and my preferences. I was reading today about Trump's court stuff and he got fine 9000$ and the judge said thats change to him but it was done out of principle. Well 9000$ for me would be years of refunding. So we ain't all the same. Its a good thing there is providers for different budgets.
Ultimately there is no "right price" for this type of business. Some women wouldn't do it for 50 000$ because its against their principles. Others may do it for high rollers at 10K+ in very high end agencies (usually Instagram models and Pornstars agencies) and others do it for 500$ an hour. If you talk to an American provider, she will likely say 500$ is "low end" because they used to 1000$+ in the US. Its a different market.
Yes its intimacy, its your body that you "provide". But remember that for some of us, we pay you close to a weekly salary for 1h ... Thats 40hours for us vs 1 for you. 40 hours we may deal with a bad boss or coworkers, or simply hard physical work. Again we ain't all high rollers. So im not gonna apologize personally that i am able to pay agencies rates...
Just a booker/phone operator. I was actually not even in contact with the girls beside by texts. As for not sharing bad experiences, i meant as a client mostly.Im guessing that you were a driver or something ? I’m glad no one shared a bad experience with you but like why would they? You’re working for the agency that would have coerced them, you know it’s like if my boss was abusing me, I wouldn’t go complain to his friend.
As for OF…nobody that produces content with them appreciates the platform. Yes they are very predatory. They take a huge cut, they even take from our tips, they don’t protect us and they allow monstrous chargebacks. But we’re kinda forced to use their services.
That’s what we’ve been saying from the start no?Ummm i mean maybe im stupid but isnt that what agencies and salons do ? Lol
Over the years we have heard a number of indy girls malign agency owners as pimps and belittle agency girls as unknowing victims. For me it's another reason not to see these indy girls. It seems holier than thou and arrogant. Run your business however you want but there's no need to disparage competitors that offer exactly the same service with more convenient terms and better prices.At the end of the day, yes, some girls are very happy to be in agencies and are satisfied. But they are working under a sort of pimp model. It sounds crazy but some girls are also very satisfied to have a street pimp...
Dans l'imaginaire populaire, le pimp est habillé comme un dandy, se promène en char avec des p'tits pompoms qui pendouillent et se prend pour le nombril du monde.Dans le vocabulaire populaire pimp il n'est pas écrit violent ou non c'est quelqu'un qui profite du personne non consentante.
L'agence fait un travail pour l'escorte.
L'escorte est consentante.
Les conditions de travail sont négociés et la travailleuse accepte les termes.
Si on commence à parler d'exploitation je considère que je suis exploiter à travailler pour 30h pour le patron de mon entreprise pourtant je continue j'ai des comptes à payer.

Are whore, ho, hoe, hooker and pute etc. just "other words" for escort?Pimp is really just another word for boss in the context of sex work.
Exactly. I would have used intellectual “gymnastics”.There’s been a few testimony already in this very thread initiated by you. You don’t believe in financial coercion? You don’t believe the girls when they say that agencies will send their worst clients to the recalcitrant who dare oppose the rules? You don’t believe that some of these encounters are just plain, planned ahead rapes?
Seems to me that, in order to ease your mind, and keep pretending to be "that oh so special class client " you are willing to go through any intellectual shortcuts to make your point.
You’re definition is very narrow and akin to depictions in Hollywood movies like Taxi Driver or more recently Hustle & Flow.I must express my disagreement with some members here in regards to the distinction between agency and pimps, and I am puzzled by those who are equating agencies with pimps. It's akin to comparing apples to potatoes.
I want to emphasize that when an agency takes its cut, it is important to remember that this includes payments to drivers, bookers, advertisers, phone operators, and various other operational expenses.
Essentially, a service provider pays the agency owner for their services as the expenses I mentioned.
On the contrary, a pimp employs coercive tactics such as brainwashing, psychological manipulation, physical violence, threats, and intimidation to exploit individuals. This can result in long-lasting trauma, stress, anxiety, and a profound impact on the victim's life. The victim may never fully recover from such experiences.
While some agencies view this as a business opportunity and may not pressure individuals to work, it is unfair to compare them to pimps.
I anticipated that this topic would be sensitive, and I was aware that some might incorrectly equate agencies with pimps, which is why I brought it up earlier.
I wonder if any of you have ever had a friend or been in a relationship with a victim of a pimp. I can attest that witnessing the aftermath of such trauma is incredibly challenging. I speak from personal experience, as I was once in a relationship with a victim of exploitation by a pimp.
You don’t get it. Santa Claus is the pimp and the providers are the elves.It is possible that the points you have raised are driven by greedy and malevolent agency’s owners. Unfortunately, such owners exist in various industries and resort to unethical tactics.
However, it is important to note that only a small number of agencies employ such strategies. While I have heard a few negative stories about certain agency owners, the majority of stories I heard have been mostly positive over the years.
I base my perspective on feedback from other service providers, having interacted with numerous providers over the years. For me, comparing agency owners to pimps would be akin to claiming that Santa Claus visits us every year from the North Pole to deliver gifts through a chimney.
I prefer not to continue debating this issue further, so let's leave it as it stands. I respect your perspective, and I ask for the same respect in return.
