"going rate"

My market definition is more complex! I would include location, age, face, body, attitude, and service when considering market rate! If you define experience as the amount of time a provider has been around providing, that doesn’t matter much to me. If you mean how was the overall experience? I would consider that.  
My price range is $300-700, so i  will call my market the “value” market. There is a certain active Kgirl who is young and super hot who can fill up 12 one hour slots a day at $420 per hour! Like many Kgirl fans, I see her at least once a month during her two to three week monthly tour. There a few few others in her category who come and go!  I see a few other older Kgirls who are cheaper, but provide exceptional service every 4-6 weeks. Then I have a stable of 3-4 incredibly hot non-kgirls in the $500-700 range that I rotate with at least 1 session a month in that price range. Finally, I sample a new girl at least once a month in the same range to expand my horizon.  
For me, the price where supply meets demand most often is $400-600! Now I could reduce my sessions to once a month and increase my price to $1,000-1,500 per hour, but I don’t see an increase in session quality, or an increase in my personal satisfaction in doing that. The other problem is that I start to get really horny 3-4 days after my last session, and I get the urge to set up my next session. So I balance, satisfaction, budget and timing.
By the way, last year you took a poll (survey) about market pricing, in between sucking poles (cocks)!

In Los Angeles, $800 seems to be the sweet spot where lots more options open up. But you can still find some variety in the $600-$700 range. Lower is harder to find with the exception of a agencies, especially kgirls. Most higher end ladies seem to be in the $900-$1k range. 1k is much more popular though. There are a splattering of ladies in the 1.1k-3k range. However, any above 1.5k are more rare. Porn stars can linger closer to the 1.5k range.  

I’m in Vegas and rates here appear to vary wildly. A Tryst search produces rates between $200 and $1500. Many gals around the $400-500 range but in Vegas it’s common for girls to advertise a lower price just to get in the door, then they will charge extra for any activities.  

I pay grandfathered rates. $130 to $200 for half hour. $200  to $300 per hour. $300 to $600 for 2 hours.  $600 to $800 for 4 hours.  

If those are the rates you are paying, It explains the paranoia with sti's.  

The sweet spot in LA appears to be 800. Even relatively new entrants (including a couple of UTRs I've seen) seem to demand that fee. A couple of ladies I saw in the recent past raised their rates from 500 to 900/1000.

I wish BDSM did it for me. Problem is, anytime I am with a naked lady, my mind immediately jumps to wanting to fuck her. Providers who have tried to get me off by a handy or BJ often struggle. It feels good, but they get tired before I cum. But once I’m fucking them, I’m looking at 10-15 minutes. Less if she spent a lot of time giving me a good BBBJ. More if she jumped to fucking without much foreplay.

The vast majority in LA will not see black men. No skin off my apple.

Shame but I get it.

Our rates have not changed in almost a decade with no rate increase planed for the near future.
