At $120 to $250 "a pop" from women or TS girls(especially in this country) for the life of me, why do we as hobbyist continue to dig deeper into our pockets to "pay for services" that at times aren't really sexually fulfilling?

Why don't we as hobbyist, join forces with our breathren (across America) and put pressure on our providers to bring their prices down. The providers are just going to have to work harder and stop over-charging us!!We may not be able to control these Oil prices but I bet we can control the "hobbyist" price!!

When I vacation in Thailand every year, I can get a beautiful Thai woman to sleep overnight for $1000 baht (that's $20 US dollars) fellas! I'm talking about all the pussy that one Man can stand! Don't just agree with me, do something about this! We still have to buy gas to go to work!!!

Competition always breeds competitive prices!

BTW

I'll be back to follow up on this post at a later date...

so you discovered pussy is cheaper in Thailand. So is just about everything. Workers in Thailand generally get paid pennies on the dollar for similar work here. Why do you think we import so many cheap goods from there? Did you realize you can get get your haircut much cheaper in Thailand as well? Better start protesting your barber.

Plain and simple, if the pussy you are getting here is not worth $250 then don't pay it. For those of us who do find the experience worthwhile, we do pay it. If you are being overcharged, and know that going in, then you are simply an idiot for paying for something you think ahead of time is not worthwhile. Pretty simple concept, isn't it?

There's only three ways the general price is going to come down.
A) reduce demand - hey that's great if people like you stop purchasing but I'm not willing to because I find it worthwhile
B) increase supply - all for that but out of my control
C) price controls from government regulation - that would then lead to shortages so either you do without or end up paying more on the side to jump the queue thereby offsetting the whole thing

Sure, I'd like some of the women I see to charge lower prices. I'd also like the price of milk to be lower, the price of cars to be lower, the price of my internet connection to be lower, etc. Doesn't mean I'm not getting a good deal now but who would turn down an even better deal?

I keep my rates high to help weed out the assholes like you

I'll be back to follow up on this post at a later date...

As promised, as our Governor (Arnold S.) once said, "I'll be back." I appreciated the quick responses. And no, I didn't "fire" my barber, LOL!I still pay the $20 per visit. I just wanted to hear from the fellas and get a general reply regarding paying the "market price". I love a good piece of pussy just like the next Man!

But if some of the guys whom are supporters of the TER would happen to visit Thailand (just once) you may come back to the US of A with a different outlook regarding our "hobbyist" habit. That all I'm saying. In the meantime and in between time, fellas (and ladies) enjoy yourself!!

That's was thoughtful. I'd drop the "dead presidents" (at your rate) for an hour of your time. Ah yes, a woman after my own heart. But pardon me, my dear, I am nobody's asshole. I'm not here to condone or offend. I was just saying something that most clients have already thought about or spoken about amongst other hobbyist. I remember the lyrics to an old 70's song entitled, "Somebody's Watching You". One line of the lyrics went like this..."The higher the price, the nicer the nice"...I can truly understand a provider keeping the price to a "higher standard". Doing that separates the "Contender's" from the "Pretender's". I get that.

But, who's to say that a client can't be an asshole while paying the contender's price? You may have met a few in your time...Hopefully, not!

is that you expect to get laid for the price of a haircut. Not likely.

Luckily, I don't meet too many assholes, believe it or not. But you're right in that rates don't completely weed out the assholes. I have other tricks up my sleeve for assisting me in this process.

Men have been bitching about rates for years. We know you talk and complain amongst yourself- it bleeds over into public posts like yours. It really doesn't faze us... and I don't see too many men responding either.

Don't pay higher prices if you don't want to. No one is forcing you to do so. You can find girls in any price range. You can even find some decent ladies on Craig's List- at low rates.  

I know of cities where the men HAVE banded together and tried to get ladies to reduce their rates (pretty rare that there can even be such a level of organization). Has it worked? Nope.

I wouldn't whine on a car discussion board that I really wanted a Jaguar, but they wouldn't come down on the price so I got a Ford.

My price is in the $300-400 price range. I'm curious as to what would be ideal for you, and what you would expect for that price?

Do you know anything about the background of Thailand's sex industry? Most of the prostitutes there are not in the business of their own free will. Many of the women (and children) are trafficked in as sex slaves. Many are sold to brothels and then expected to work to pay off their price.

Over half a million children are assumed to be prostitutes. Old and young prostitutes alike in Thailand have little, if any, health care. They have little to no money, even those who aren't sexual slaves. They're among the bottom rungs of the social ladder. Nearly 800,000 are living with HIV/AIDS.

You wish such conditions upon us? You want our rates to be more comparable to those in Thailand? The reasons above are WHY you find such rates in Thailand- because you are contributing to the sexual trafficking and exploitation of their women.
