With the econcomy still being slow it does not suprise me that ladies in this demographic are looking at the hobby for financial means. It is "the oldest profession".

It's an old cliche that I heard from a family friend named Charlie back when I was a teenager. He was unattractive, obese, bald, with an oxygen tank, but had a sizable amount of money and always paid cash. Charlie, my dad, and I were out at a bar (back when teens were allowed) when I noticed a hot blonde waitress with ample curves and cleavage. I made a comment about... desiring her. Charlie said "everyone has a price" then proceeded with negotiations. Eventually she stated her price was $2500 for the night (1970s dollars). He chuckled at her, turned to me and said "Now you know Her price." She quickly responded $300 "to make a man out of me"... but Dad intervened.  Fun night.

So no, I'm not surprised. With the decline in the economy, upside down mortgages, and TV shows like "The Client List" and "Secret Diary of a Call Girl", I think there will be a number of women who will try the Hobby. Most will (likely) wash out quickly.

I also read where a millionaire in Cannes offered a British model $1M for a night - she declined. See Link below. I guess she thinks she's worth more, but I wouldn't pay it...  if I had it to spare.

It seems that the taboos on sex and drugs like marijuana are losing their grip.

Add in a bad economy and I'm not very surprised that this profession is seeing an upsurge in women looking to join it.

i agree with new providers are older

I have noticed in the past 2 years that to new providers are older than say 4 years ago. I have no idea why. But, I feel their is an age shift. Maybe it the crazy economy, which I feel is going to keep draging on for a very long time.

I see alot of ladies leaving the business. On the other hand, the media is always talking about escorts, its no wonder ladies are jumping in the providing water head first.
