I see only mature men so I can't speak for those in their 20's to 30's.  

As far as the clients I do see, I have not see a decrease in business. In fact, it's the opposite for me. Inflation does not discriminate, it hits everyone and everything, the hobby is not immune.

I think in general people are used to everything being more expensive. There isn't anything I paid for a few years ago that I'm not paying more for now.    

I still get just as many requests from the younger gentlemen, I have not seen a decrease in that or any type of inquiry.  Occasionally they offer me above my rate to break my age rule and see them.  I say no but I'm flattered.  

The rate is certainly a deciding factor for some but not for all.  Some are willing to pay a bit more for the service they are looking for.  Others just prefer the higher rate girls for a number of reasons.  

Regardless of inflation, I do my best to keep my rates fair.  I'm not the most expensive buy I'm not super cheap either. I'm in the middle.

From your ads and how you present yourself, it’s easy to see why your client base is stable.  

What’s wild is I’m getting more requests from gents in their 20’s and 30’s than I did when I was 10 years younger. It could be because I’ve only raised my rate by $150 in 11 years, so maybe I just haven’t kept up with inflation. Or, maybe the younger guys are just really into chubby gals. Or, maybe it’s all that stepmom porn that is so prevalent nowadays! HAHAHA!  I’m not really sure.

For the most part, I am getting the same range of clients I always have (25 - 75). Since this spring, I have had an increase in younger men (25 -45) who contact me. I suspect that has more to do with me adding MILF as a descriptor in my ad than any industry - wide trend. Or it could just be chance. None of us here really have enough volume of information to identify any industry - wide trends.

Any theory you're brewing about younger men not being able to afford to see ladies is unlikely to match reality. The best information you will get here is a handful of limited personal opinions. Thats not much to base a theory upon. Most clients and ladies dont post here, afterall.  

That being said, I think people under 60 are more likely to understand the current financial climate and pricing. I think some older people have a hard time wrapping their minds around how much inflation has eroded the purchasing power of the dollar over the past few decades.
