$300 rates and Up?

[Mojojo]

They'll charge what they wanna charge you'll pay what you wanna pay. I've spent over 300 on several providers and never looked back on it! To me they've all been an incredible experience not to say the others havent.

However I agree that going above 250 is hard to justify at times. We have one lady in Houston who's gorgeous but prices her self at 400hr, that's just something id never even look at but its her business so I cant knock on her for running it the way she wants too.

Not sure what the $300 fuss is all about. Hasn't Mint talent priced their girls at $300 for several years now (Before everyone else) and they've always seemed plenty busy. The newer competitors like Austinescorts are swamped at $280 and now so have one or two of the Austingurlz and all seem pretty busy. 280 or 300 seems pretty much the same thing to me but of course I don't do alot of hobbying.

I'm guessing that someone who prices herself way above the competition such as 350+ either doesn't want high volume business or is mainly only interested in the guys willing to pay more than everyone else. In other words she prefers to use the hobby than to allow it to use her. Of course few girls can afford that luxury without a 2nd income source.

Beach81 was complaining that all he saw in ads were providers charging $300+, not that SOME providers were charging $300+. I agree that has always been the case. And I certainly agree that a provider has the right to charge whatever she deems appropriate.

The point is that the majority of the providers in Austin charge less than $300 per hour and the majority of those are in the $200 range.

Inflation is the easy and correct answer.

I think the most I've paid, and I think I must have been younger, desperately horny or hit myself on the head, was $325, and that was years ago before the economy went down the drain. She was an amazing lady, but for as much as I licked, there was no gold in her pot.

I believe the average rate is around $200 or $250. There are $300+ girls out there, but they probably consider themselves to be premium providers for some reason. Probably fishing for fewer hobbyists who are willing to throw that many Benji's. Anyway, as with anything else, the higher the price does not necessarily mean the better the service.

Absolutely but it appears the younger the flesh and better the looks are the higher the demand becomes which equals higher the price.
This creates a whole new question? What do most here pay the higher fees for? Youth and looks or service? Many BBW's have superior service but those phones aren't ringing nearly as much.

The free market economy is a wonderful thing. A gal can offer her services for whatever price she feels is fair and Beach (or anyone else can act accordingly). My only chuckle comes when the inevitable "your insulting me trying to discuss my rate" card is played.

Not all are $$$+; there are plenty of great rate gals.
Simple fix if you don't wanna pay that much for a lady; find another whose rate is more reasonable for you.

Shopping is fun!

A client was once telling me of the massage parlors of the 1980's. On the menu board one hour was 60.
the gal got a little.... the house most of that.

If you wanted FS you tipped 100.00 so with 160 in 1985 I used this inflation calculator

The first time I paid for play was in college. Steubenville. Ohio. $5, cum and go. I think the next time was in the mid-70s in NYC. $60 per hour. And this was for very attractive women. In a quick look at EROS, the NYC rates for some of the ladies were off the wall. Austin rates look very reasonable to me now.

The first time that I P4P was when I was in the military and overseas. Boy was I spoiled. Came back to the states and all I could find at the time (and willing to spend) was the AMP in SoCal. Mostly rub and tug. Nothing more.

Then I came to Austin in the late 80's and more of the AMPs. I got lucky in that one of the gals like me so much that she let me wanted me to herself.

Now I'm finding about the better stuff. I didn't know where to look and of course this site was not around either.

Yakky(nickname) Peer, who lived down the street from me, used to give HJs for a dollar. That was back in the 70s...

[Rand Al'Thor]

For $2, could you get a sucky from Yakky?

It was very common to get FS from a first class college age girl for 60 flat in the early eighties. This equated to 120.84 in todays dollars. With 80 some odd massage parlors in Travis county at the turn of the decade anyone who charged 160 would not get any business. The highest priced place I can remember was the Studio M (or whatever name they were at the time) which was a tourist trap on IH35. The girls there typically requested a tip equaling the door fee which would be 60+60 =120 or 241.68 in today's dollars. More typically were the I Dream of Jeanie, Anns, Pandoras, Satin Spa type places where FS was not a guaranteed extra but just as often as not the girl included it at no extra charge. Of course those were the ladies who garnered the lions share of the business. Somewhere in between were the Vicky's, Castillo Del Rey, Michelle's, Relaxation Plus, type of places where offering a small tip was probably more the norm.

There were some pretty lean years in that time period with the Texas savings and loan crisis devastating the local economy that wasn't very diversified to begin with. Lots, and lots of women working in massage parlors chasing a customer base with typically not much money.
