The first professional submissive I saw, Angel, now charges $1000 an hour and is worth every penny. I saw her when she was just starting out and she was slightly above the average NY provider cost, maybe $250-300/hour. Similarly, one of my fellow hobbyists and I reviewed a vanilla provider who was just starting out at $200/hour and within a year she was charging $700. The problem is not that superior providers charge so much. The problem is when mediocre providers charge above the average and then, boy-oh-boy, is the hobbyist pissed off royally. So---ladies, if you want to charge $1000 and get no complaints, be worth every penny of it. Otherwise, I am in full agreement that a provider or domme that charges almost three times the average had better be three times as good as the average. Otherwise, hobbyists are right to retaliate on the web.

The only solution for hobbyists: seek out newbies who you think will become stars and see them when they are starting out. I saw the female muscle builder Celine when she was charging $200 an hour and after my rave review, she raised her rates literally every month and went way out of my league in price. Was she worth the higher price? Damn straight.

There is a bigger problem, not mentioned: The bias against transsexuals, right here on The Erotic Review. Shameful Salem Witch Trials bias.
