I'm pretty green, hence the topic. I'm curious if any of the regulars who have been doing this awhile could give me some historical reference as far as hobby price levels go. (I say historically, but I mean the past 5/10/15 years up to present). I've been seeing pretty huge percentage rate increases across the board, and hell, more power to the women out there if they're meeting demand, but some of the increases seem kind of outrageous.  

nyc always sucked .  

a girlfriend launched her website. The local ladies (she lived in CA) told her she should never charge more than $300. So that's what she charged, but she was so overwhelmed with requests in a short time that she had to raise her rates.  

900 for three hours of companionship . still used by some today in the new millennium .  

In places like NYC, LA, LV and even Chicago it appears that there has been quite a bit of "pussy inflation"

In other places, mainly in the southern towns like Dallas and Atlanta, I haven't noticed much of an increase in provider rates.

I have seen girls that were 200 go to 400, and girls that were already 400 change to more extended dates by simply keeping the rate or dropping off 100 and requiring a two or three hour minimum.  

I had this discussion with my assistant who comes from the Yellow pages era (like 20-30 years ago) prior to the boom of online advertisement. She mentioned that the rates in South Florida were anywhere from 300-400 depending but that she saw more extended dates being requested at the time. As you mentioned, bigger markets with gentlemen with a higher amount of disposable income, can probably afford the higher rates. Obviously smaller markets can't sustain the higher rates so the rates have to be within certain limits. Certainly, this world like everything else, is governed by supply and demand economics.

It certainly isn't "all" of the boys and girls that play here.

but by "further south" I mean places like Costa Rica, parts of Mexico, Panama and a few other places.

Ten years ago in both Costa Rica and Panama, overnight rates were about $100 US, now the going rate in Panama city is about $150 hr with overnights starting at about $500, San Jose Costa Rica is averaging $100 hr at place like the Del Rey with overnight starting at about $300 and in Jaco as Inicky will be happy to tell you the chicas are trying to hold out for $150 hr as well.

But if you want to go WAAAYYYY Back, my first time in TJ was Five bucks, there has definitely been some "pussy inflation" since then. lol

So it applies to all the transactions in microeconomics, (the entire world is a market) obviously this small section of the world is not exempt.

1976

The going rate was usually just two bits for the room with one of Miss Kitty's hookers.

did you shit your pants too ? slow down grandpa don't want the paramedics showin up may be lungman . you didn't think of that did you.

Some guy I used to know told me that years ago when he was in the Navy, they went to Thailand, he said that some girl there charged him the equivalent of $3.  ...Then afterwards, the girl's parents invited him to stay for dinner.  

head with a club and found the nearest incall I mean cave ...lol  

...than your writing.  1990 was 24 years ago, not 20.  And what's the "12?"  Are you saying you were 12 when you paid $500.00?  That would make you quite the hobbying prodigy!

Ah yes, the days when you could just go out "clubbing".  Those were the days.

am I saying that ? maybe . but guess what ? keep guessing and yes far from "old" .  

I have to ask , whats with the Pepperidge farms ? just curious . thanks  

Back in 1997, (the last time I saw a provider pre-marriage) the going rate for an agency gal was 150 - 200  for an hour in NYC (Queens)

Its an old commercial that used to be on TV for Pepperidge Farms Cookies, the tag line was "Because Pepperidge Farm Remembers".  Ya hadda be there.

Playa Jaco Hookers Union.  Damn greedy Ticas!
Pura Vida!

In the 1890's, Kitty Williams moved from San Francisco to Milwaukee, and worked in the brothels in that city. She saved her money and in a few years opened her own.

didnt know now I do .. thank you that's kinda nice memories from the early days . great cookies have a nice evening  

About 1987 to the late 1990's there was a Brothel that was run by an Old Madame. Prices were 25 to 30 Dollars depending on the Girl you picked. For about half an hour you can decide what you wanted. Most of the time I chose a BJ. With the better looking Girls I went FS. Some Girls even gave me their phone numbers so I could see them directly outside of the Brothel. I met alot of Great Girls from this place. I miss that place.

Of course in those dark days before the Internet you might also get an overweight chain smoker showing up at your door.  

The Forest Waits?

I just happened to be watching Family Guy, and they were spoofing an old Pepperidge Farms commercial.  "Remember how you hit that pedestrian with your car in the crosswalk, and then you just drove away?  Pepperidge Farms remembers.  But Pepperidge Farms isn't going to keep it to Pepperidge Farm's self free of charge. Maybe you go out and buy yourself a bag of mulatto cookies and this whole thing goes away."
