Never been a high dollar hooker guy myself, but I do go into the 6-700 dollar range occasionally. But now? No way. Too much risk of an unsatisfying time. I gotta think others are realizing the same. And this has to result in downward pressure on pussy pricing power.

But, with no reviews, some ladies could start to offer less, or become much more ymmv...you can't review...so outside of " actual" word of mouth....what incentive would a lady have to try to perform at a high level?  With no reviews....a client can't rave...or rant.

I read an article / blog about how services like DFK, DATY & BBBJ weren’t common with escorts several years ago, but became necessary to compete with providers on BP.  I wonder what the future holds? Higher prices due to higher risk? Lower prices due to lack of demand? Fewer services because who will know? More services to land a repeat customer?

Fosta will probably bring the price up, not down.  Demand is still great, but supply will be limited. IMHO. But what do I know.  LOL

The divide will be greater than ever.  I have recieved more inquiries in the past week than I have in months.  Lack of advertising creates a lower supply which in return will cause rates to rise for those of us still on the map.  Those with options will retire, those who relied on BP will freestyle or take to the streets.  Nice try though...

GFE predates Backpage by several years. I have been around P4P for well over 40 years, Backpage only started in 2004 and was hardly a force in the industry until many years later following the demise of Craig's List.  

I have Photographed my TER Profile and My Reviews and I share the Reviews with "Prospective Clients." I Earned these Reviews and I Will Use Them! Someone Needs to create a "Companion App" for the smart phone with built in Reviews so its Easily Accessible for someone to "Find a Friend" to share time with. My .02 cents!

in BOTH directions.   Top-tier girls will increase only because they will be harder to find given the limited advertising options.  Second and third tier girls will move down in price because they will have to pay more for advertising by using multiple resources, rather than just one place like CV or BP.  They need to bring new customers into the market with attractive pricing.  Most of us started with lower-priced girls and then moved upmarket as we learned about the different levels of hookers and getting a better experience for a higher price.

Exactly, what would we have to gain by offering lessor quality service.  I get that some providers are average at best but the one who do enjoy it and actually care about what they do will continue to do well, regardless.

Breanna,
I notice that you are on switter. With that said have you made contacts with potential suitors that you otherwise wouldn't have gotten in contact with?  Would you say that social media is going to be critical in how you market and reach your client base?

I guess I did start with "lower priced girls" but that was because my first hooker was only five bucks, it's kind of hard to go "down" from there. Although I did see a 7 dollar whore house in Ecuador some forty years after my first hooker in TJ, and I suppose that "adjusted for inflation" seven bucks in the 21 century is a LOT cheaper than five bucks way back in 1974. lol

I think you are right that the supply pool will decrease.
.
But I think that the demand pool will also decrease. Of course there will always be sex addicts, but I think clients like myself who only have a session occasionally and joined the scene because it was such a low barrier of entry (all I really needed was a new gmail account and TER account to get started), will start exiting the demand pool.
.
Also, with it no longer being an internet friendly scene, I doubt younger internet-centric prospective clients will replenish the demand pool at the same rate. If I was a newbie today there is no way I'd even think about getting involved. Way too much uncertainty and risk. I'd stick to online dating. Just my 2 cents.

Social media is where 100% of my clients have come from for the past year so yes.  I haven't utilized TER or any other advertising site for a while.

I agree that in the short run, price movement will move both ways. A provider with a good established reputation from review boards and a bunch of regulars can keep charging her current rates or even more, at least for a while. A more average provider with some reviews and a limited number of regulars is going to need to lower her prices to compete with the large number of new and/or un-reviewed providers. A nice website probably helps, but nobody will find it without sorting through ads first. And my searches today indicate that there are still a lot of ad sites out there. Nice pictures in the ads also help, but now there won't be a website that will verify those pictures are representative of the actual provider.

That works both ways. I have started to hear from girls I have not seen in over a year. All are offering "specials." I sure as hell know it's not because I'm young and handsome.

where FS back then was $120-140 (there are still some today at $160) with MILFY, unshaven, Chinese and Thai girls (BBBJ was $60-80 including the "house" fee of $40).  Kgirls were definitely a step UP for me.  For many years the price here was $250-260/hr, and $300 when I'm in Vegas.  Now, about a quarter of the girls in SoCal are in the $270-300/range.  Independent Asian girls raised in the US are the same as Caucasian Indies, averaging $5-600/hr locally.  (Examples are Lisa Lang and Mia Hug).  I only see about six to eight Caucasian girls a year, so I DO pay more for those, but you are correct, the bulk of my hobbying is in the range you suggest.  

My personal opinion is going to be a lot of experimenting for both providers and clients to find the "new niche".  

...no the price will either stay or increase-I anticipate supply for higher-end providers will decrease simply because it isn't worth it anymore and a number of them have exit plans and careers.

That's exactly why I started out with " Not saying this will happen."
Yes...any lady who cares about maintaining or building her brand would not do this.
But lower end girls " could" with little fear of " word getting out". The bigger uncertainty for clients is the rip offs or scams. They will now have no idea what they're walking in to, and no way to warn others of anything not on the level.
Of course this works both ways...
As of now P411 is still a solid way for both sides to make the magic happen. Really hope they don't fold under scrutiny.  
Before all this...I knew a few providers who really cared about every detail of their reviews. That care no longer exists, as it stands currently.

I was fifteen, I had a full bottle of tequila in me and there was a full eclipse of the moon that night, something that "should" have been quite memorable, but the tequila (actually mescal) took care of most of the brain cells tasked with memory that night. You will also be pleased to hear I didn't try to negotiate in the 7 dollar whore house I found myself in while I was in Ecuador, quite the contrary, I made very sure to keep my dick in my pants and I only had a bottle of beer that I insisted on opening myself and even though I had to piss, I absolutely refused to enter the "bano"  I am sure there were diseases floating around in that place that haven't even been named yet.

I can see all the reviews I wrote. So if you can remember which gents you've seen, you should be able to ask them to send you a copy, since they can access the ones they wrote.

Switter is awesome. Reconnecting with old friends , and making new ones.  I personally haven’t had to change anything in my life but feel for some of the others that are hurting. Interesting shift in times.

do not post them... bc if TER comes back *hopefully* they would banned you for posting those reviews.

And I think that was lots of streetwalkers, almost no middle class hookers and a small group of "elite" hookers in the big cities. And the elite ones didn't make 1k an hour back in the day.

This is a terrible development. It is worse on every level: worse for us and worse for the hookers and worse for society in general.

So their reviews are available.
Wondering how they get that from TER?

Many of those with the highest rates delisted off TER already.  As for advertising?  I haven't advertised in a year, I have been just screwing around on Twitter and getting bookings some how.  Go figure.

I have had numerous old friends contact me that have been history for some time. Their afraid to reach out to someone new with the many dramatic changes to the industry and the internet. I am busy this week with nothing but old regulars and current ones. The backpage girls will find their way back to advertise and most likely won't be as busy. Guys are just as shell shocked as we providers.  

There are simply going to be less transactions. Whether or not prices go up or down, the number of transactions are going to go lower. The internet has made it SUPER convenient for people to hook up, especially if you are looking for it NOW or with very little notice. If I ever got the urge, I would just hop onto CV, see who is currently available, look up the reviews on TER and pick my best match. That convenience is now GONE.  

I was a true GFE before reviews boards where invented.
Am I going to change my sexxxy ways? Absolutely not!!
In my opinion many ladies will up their game in hopes to make you; theirs!

in SoCal where I am.  Providers are telling me that their regulars are still coming but not many inquiries from new customers. Because of the lack of new customers many are scaling back the number of days/hours they work.  One of my regulars has gone from four days a week to three because its only regulars booking.   Makes total sense because of lack of reviews and some ad sites down.  Many that advertised on CV and a few smaller sites are working on their own websites now to take up the slack.  

   Great as this is, there are over a half dozen others who also have been friends for almost or a full decade plus, and a few more recently.  Plus that, the door is always open to new ladies joining if they appeal to me, and likewise on their part.  Life is good if you know/learn how to hobby!    

I'm not  lowering them. If you gents think I'm not worth it.. Oh well, There is way to much demand out there now going to only certain streams. Since a lot of sites have closed down I've actually gotten more emails. But just because the added pressure of the reviews are gone, doesn't mean I won't be doing my best. Due to this regulars are going to become a bit more steady as they won't want to take a chance on bad providers.  Anyways, if you guys are interested I also created an underground newsletter of the Top 100 ladies of each city. Every month it gets sent to your protonmail. D.M. or email me for details. I got everyones emails before the reviews went down and formed it in response to the Ads being gone.

Thank you. It is as though leeches want to suck the life blood out of ladies who are going through hard times. Ugly side to everyone, I guess

factor in ANY business is; "supply VS demand."  

I dont disagree that for a certain group of providers rates will drop. ...Likely the new ones or ones without a lot of regulars.  I am not part of that group.  I have been in my area and have seen enough people over the years for people to start googling my name to find ways to contact me when all advertising goes down.

Switzerland and much of Europe have a huge influx of Eastern European women working cheaper than the locals too.

I believe this is a wee bit self-serving, coming from a hooker whose starting rate is $600US. Most hobbyists are well-served in the $300-$400 (tops) range. Sounds like propaganda and fear peddling to me.

Same here. I have 5 multi-hour dates scheduled with my favorite lady through September. Some when she comes to town and me driving to her for the others.

Second, it is entirely possible for you and others to maintain whatever rate you charge (and I hope you do) and the overall prices charged drop. Your personal experience does not equal everyone.  

Those reviews are the property of TER, not her.  The guys that wrote them were "compensated" with VIP days.  It was a legally binding transfer of ownership of the reviews for valid consideration.  If she publishes them somewhere else, she may be liable to TER for stealing and profiting from their intellectual property.  I think at the very least, it would be good cause for banishment.  

I recall many provider web sites quote from TER reviews. They also have links to TER.  I haven't been around enough to know if TER objects, but it seems mutually beneficial.

as republishing copyrighted material without the permission of the copyright holder.  If TER chooses to allow links, that's up to them, but they are still in control of the content they purchased from the reviewers.  In this case, TER has chosen to HIDE their content within the US, content which THEY own.  Doing anything to circumvent the blackout may be considered a copyright infringement, IMO.  

Beyond even fair use, a single gal's reviews are of little benefit to the hobbyist compared to finding the treasurer trove of reviews at TER. That's why if TER had half a marketing brain, they would encourage quoting rather than squelch it, given their other limited advertising avenues.

I think what this provider has in mind in using the whole TER review in her advertising during a time when TER is not authorizing access doesn't qualify as "fair use" by this standard that you have found.  Even one of the elements are enough to disqualify use, but in this case, there is more than one.

comes in the form of the consideration (in the form of VIP membership days) from TER for his assignment of his ownership rights in the review as the author.  TER's benefit comes from the paid VIP user fees they get from hobbyists paying to read the content of the reviews THEY HAVE PURCHASED AND NOW OWN OUTRIGHT.  (The consideration is no less valuable because it was in the form of a "barter" rather than a cash payment - the seller agreed that it was equivalent value when he accepted the trade o VIP days for his review content.) There may be a collateral benefit to providers from being the subject of the review (such as there is from a book about a public figure who then may garner speaking fees from the publicity the book affords him/her)), but the subject of the review usually can't assert any ownership interest of her own over the content, so TER receives nothing from the provider in the way of compensation for he ruse of the copyrighted material (but nevertheless has allowed links to the reviews in the past as a way to draw attention to the TER website), and THIS is where there may be an infringement issue if she republishes the review somewhere else, whether or not she were to make a claim that TER receives some vicarious benefit as well. Its still without the copyright holder's permission, and beyond the scope of "fair use" as demonstrated by Imposter's post.  

Honest do you think TER is make a dime to sue for that, worst case she get booted off.  

Charging 700 in the Carolinas is impossible, but it is what I charge in NYC and have a 2 hour min locally so yes I may somewhat be included in your assessment.  

Wrong. There is no promise of exclusivity. I could send the same review to hundreds of review sites, including directly to the provider. TER owns their copy, meaning they can display it or not as they wish. They have no control over my copies.

There IS a contract of exclusivity.  Here is paragraph 16 of  review submission . . . .

C'mon! Give the younger generation some credit.  

I have plenty of girls to repeat with, and have my verifications in place for my long list of girls I wish to see.  Have already read their reviews.  Will not be venturing to see new woman without reviews, except through agencies where I already have a relationship.

My age is mid 60's. I had VPN up and running within hours of TER blocking USA IP addresses.

Look. Women who have a large regular client base are in the short and perhaps even medium term immune from the downward pressure on prices I mentioned. They have the option of either not seeing or relying on only the odd new customer for a while. Whereas women in that range who do not have the regulars are going to face the problem I posted about. And in the long term, they all will because regulars don't last forever as you know.  

if you still have access.  SK

I'm a older millennial, but still a millennial nonetheless. I'm not sure people actually appreciate how important an internet-friendly low barrier of entry is for younger clients (and providers too I'm sure). That's now gone. Of course some will figure out how to get started in this scene, but I really think most will just forgo this kind of stuff for online dating or strip club VIP rooms. Path of least resistance.

I totally agree that this is what made the online P4P flourish. It has little to do with how tech savvy a millennial is vs. a baby boomer.  

I'm not "on sale"...

You don't have any rates at that site. Nice pictures, but without reviews, you can only compete for new business based on your pictures and your rates. And your pictures could be photoshopped or even swiped from another provider. Be nice to your regulars, because they might be the majority of your business for now.

Look at You! I don't blame you!  
I wouldn't presume, expect, nor ask any lady to drop her rate. If it's beyond my means...then it's just an experience I'll have to miss. Such is life.... you can have a little, but you can't have it all. Those who could have it all....dont appreciate it. Not truly anyway.
My opinion: Any who do drop their rates, probably ought to revisit their standard of service. This whole thing is not to be used to prey on weakness from either side. The worst of it is not being able to see all the possibilities that we've grown accustomed to having at our fingertips.  
Now....effort will be required, and a good bit of luck.
