Question for Ladies & Gentlemen:
1. What is the PERFECT PRICE RANGE?

What price range is "sleazy" and what price range is "outrageous"?

I realize that prices will vary in each part of the country. I am in the Las Vegas Area and the price range is roughly $350 to $500 an hour.

I've noticed that alot of gentlemen in Las Vegas are looking for girls in the $150 to $250 range, yet so many ladies wont go that low because they are perceived as being a "Lower Class" Escort. My question is: Even if you charge less wont your reviews reflect your superior service?

Question for the Ladies in every city:

2. How seriously do you take this business?

Is this something you do on a part-time basis, or is it your primary source of income? Do you go for the entire GFE (Satin Sheets, Candles, Soft Music, etc) or just basic service? Do you ever run "Specials" and if you charge less do you give less service?

Here in Tennessee, most ladies charge $250-$350 for a one hour session and $450-$600 for two hours. I prefer longer sessions and feel that is a good price range. Any session that averages $400 per hour is too steep for me. $100-$150 as the normal fee for an "established" provider would scare me away. If she's got great reviews, she should be able to charge much more and still stay busy. I would worry about someone who's not looking out for herself and just avoid her.

All I know is that I have regretted every $400+ provider that I have ever hired on the west coast.  Have found several in the $200 - $300 range that are outstanding, price notwithstanding.  

On the east coast, also plenty great ones at $200 - $300.

Pricing is always subjective. The key for a provider is to provide an excellent service that results in building an established client base. Like any good businessperson, one then can discount to the established clients based on volume of business, while securing new clients at the "quantity one" rate.

Case in point:

I have a marvelous woman here in South Florida whose "published" rate is $300/hr.; on the average I visit her twice a month; and correspondingly, my rate is $175/hr. Nearly all my visits are for two hours. We greatly vary our routines, and number of "pops" and specific activities never enter the equation, it is the time we spend together that determines the charges.

But the single most important thing is building that client base. For it will provide you with a steady, dependable cash flow; and in business, that is everything.

In determining the right price range, I saw someone say once.... if her phone is ringing, the price is right. I will say that in terms of the "sleazy" thing... when I raised my prices by $50, I got a lot less sleazy inquiries. A good thing

I take this very seriously... I have the best of all possible worlds, a job that I LOVE and that provides me with a wonderful income. I do candles and try to provide a sexy, sensual environment, but I don't know about the GFE thing... I'm not a good girlfriend, never have been Altho I suppose if someone WANTS to pay me to make them go buy me chocolate and advil when I'm PMSing, it could be arranged. I personally do not do specials...  if someone wants a discount, my question for them is... WHICH part of the service would you like me to discount? (Usually just before I hit DELETE.)  I feel my fees are already almost ridiculously reasonable for the experience I provide, and I do not have a blue light blinkin' over my head. LOL!

WOW!  I always sensed that some guys prefer to pay more.  I never realized they were thinking so far ahead.  

I always thought that if a girl costs less, that guys will presume she is not worth as much.  I noticed that review ratings tend to corelate to price.

As for me, I raise my price according to how many phone calls I receive.  If I have too much work and too many calls, I raise my price.  It takes care of the problem and frees up my time.  So far I have not gone too far so that my phone calls have stopped or slowed down too much.

For me, a GFE experience is about me being present mentally and emotionally during the whole experience.  I talk a lot if I feel like talking.  I am quiet if I feel quiet. I focus on him instead of me when I am sad.  I am warm, interested and interesting, polite, and passionate.  Most importantly, I am me and not a pretend me.  I will be nice when I feel like a bitch and I am polite even when I want to be rude.  I am real in the sense that I don't pretend to be someone who I am not.

I don't fake anything sensually.  If I am not having a good time, I let him know.  If I am having a good time I let him know.  Most intelligent people can sense ingenuity.  People would rather genuinely make you happy than have you fake it.  I find that most guys really appreciate me being honest about my likes and dislikes.  I also find that by being honest, I can be true to myself and avoid feeling bad by doing something I did not want to do.  The guys are happy because by knowing when they miss the mark, it makes the good times that much better.

If there isn't any chemistry between myself and a customer, he will know even if I try to fake it and I know he will never call me again.  I would rather be real and let him know that unless he takes some of my suggestions, I will be bored.  Usually guys can fix a problem by taking my advice, if they won't listen then they have a bad time and so do I.  It just happens and it comes with the territory.  By the way I have never had a BAD time, just a less degree of fun than usual.

For me a GFE does mean the good and the bad as it really is.  I think the need for a GFE verses a fantasy depends on whether you want a human being or a fake blow up doll.  Of course that will depend on your mood and preference.  The human being experience shows you how to be a better lover and person.  It mirrors who you are more.  The blow up doll just takes care of business with never before realized talents.  Both are good and different.

Hello,
This is Taylor Maiden from Calgary, Canada (no I am not a chocolate cowgirl

Hmmmm .... Price.... I try to provide a full experience so I  run bubble baths and do dinners. Obviously being that I am in Canada my rates are in Canadian funds (Ouch! lol)If I was in the USA I would adjust my rates. I believe a date is looking for the experience, the fantasy.  I would also say that I take my business very seriously. Where else do you get to meet fantasic men who treat you like a queen? Yes I know a few people will say Church. If I had known about the business these last 6 years I was in school.....

I would also like to add the ladies that I know CHOOSE to do this. I hope that this doesn't offend anyone, it's just a thought. If a lady is doing well in the real world. In this world if she keeps fit and provides the fantasy, she can pretty much do what she likes. These last few months I have seen it. I think I need to live in the USA I know all of your t.v. shows.
Warmly,
Taylor Maiden

Being that I am a consumer, it is what the market will bear. If it is a GFE, bottomline should be what you think it is worth.
let's face, guys are basically cheap until the blood flows in the opposite direction and the little head starts thinking for the big one, then all bets are off.
If I, as a consumer, am going for incall I expect for services renderded about $$$$ to $$$$$ for a good quality expierence. If i got to get the room and that is the price, she better had look like she dropped off the pages of Penthouse or Playboy and none of this hour crap or turn and burn. (Not to say that I would not go higher IF I am familiar with the quality of the product or the craftsmanship.)
I also listen to the conversation that I have while getting screened. Is she discreet? is she all there? is she a quality person in how she handles herself on the phone or is her conversation peppered with four letter metaphors, slurred from her dabbling with jack?
But back to the question at hand...

Price has nothing to do with my perception of a lady. Actually based on my experiences women that are outside the "standard price window" which in LA is $300 - $400 per hour are not worth any price. What I mean is service is rushed, detatched and impersonal. Personality lacking. Like they'd be a drag under any circumstance.

I know ladies that charge much less than the $300 who just knock me out. They make me feel like they truly enjoy being with me, are sad to see me go and can't wait to see me again. I feel the same way about them. This is a true GFE.

Price could influence my review if the girl was at the upper end and my expectations were severly underserved. But likely as not, I simply keep silent and would not go back.

Is it just me, ir is it getting harder out there for all of us?

That she'd better be a DAMN good piece of ass!!!

Q. What is the PERFECT PRICE RANGE?
A. Between $250-$350 IMO.

Q. What price range are "sleazy" and what price range is "outrageous"?
A. Anything beyond the $500.00 mark is "outrageous" with some few exceptions IMO. Anything less than $200.00 is "sleazy" for me unless they are only offering Massages or BBBJTC's IMO.

Even most of the Pornstars that are currently booking direct in LA are in the $500.00 or less range as well with some very few exceptions in the $700-$1K.

Q. Even if you charge less won't your reviews reflect your superior service?
A. The last thing I look at is the price. For me performance is more important and the way they meetings are conducted, I then go for the looks and finally the price. It could look suspicious that such an awesome provider is charging lesser than others and offering a superior service than the rest or it could be A Supply & Demand Issue were you feel comfortable at that range because you are getting consistent bookings that in the past you were not getting for higher rates, which is what you all are seeking ($$$).

My .02 cents if anyone cares to read.

Doc,
only if I had a real job...LOL.
Gee all these ladies and no cash available.

I had to post on your comment regarding a provider could look suspicious if she is that awesome provider and is charging lesser than others and offering a superior service than the rest. Also A Supply & Demand Issue were a provider feel comfortable at that range because you are getting consistent bookings that in the past were not.

I am service the Richmond Va area and love what i do. I have top reviews rating of 8-9-10 on the board with TER/Bigdoggie.net and my hourly fee is $250-1hr-350 2hr.

I think the fee is fair, but i don't want to make someone feel alarm that something is wrong. Everything about me is 100% real.

I have thought about raising my hourly fee to $50 more because i do offer full GFE/BFE. I read other reviews and see the type of services they render and charge a lot more for their hourly service and then i look at my hourly fee and sometime feel that i am cheating my self. Over all I want to stay reasonable for all clients. I will not drop my fee or give regular discount because because i am consider at the top on
TER/Bigdoggie.net board.

I also spend extra time over my hourly meeting depending on client reason for the extended time. Never for the extra money, usually because it is a client first time with an escort or he is nervous or wanting a taste with an attractive black women. I want to make sure he get the best experience of his life.

Visit my new site which i haven't posted yet. It is still under contruction.

ReQuestions for Providers & Hobbyists)

Price varies according to region you are right about that.  The number of providers and the local economy also figure heavily.  The price in St. Louis ranges from 150 to 300 per hour.  They all seem to run specials or discounts.  I like to stick to regulars and do not haggle over the price.  If the service provided is as expected see you again if not part as friends.

Hi Performanceperfe,

I think you are being more than fair with your current rates and I don't see your rates as being suspicious because you have proven to be a good provider from your consistent Positive Reviews on several boards. What I do think is that you feel comfortable at that range besides getting consistent bookings which is what helps you pay your bills.

If you want to try increasing your rates by $50 and by doing so you continue to maintain your consistent booking ratio then is more power for you. Time will tell if you did the right move or not but if you don't try you will never know, besides you can always return to your previous rates.

Good luck and stay safe,

I think the experience that made me deicde to stay with the hobby was with the hotfriends group in Indianapolis.  They ecnouraged long visits, so three or four hours was the norm, and the fee was less than two hours at full rate with someone else.  It might have been an inexpensive date, but she was no cheap date.  I knew it wasn't real, but I felt myself falling in love anyhow!  (I can't recall the exact price, but it was like $500 for four hours.)

I know that the ladies "gasp" at the notion of lowering their prices. Some may look down on me for it, others may not...but my service is still great and the nice gentleman who take a chance will really enjoy themselves! I've made the decision to run a SPECIAL for Locals (for a limited time)...See below for details.

ps. I specialize in and prefer INCALLS.
