Meat, energy, building material, real estate prices are inflating. Why not pussy?
Not to be political, Washington plans on pumping trillions of dollars into the economy. At the same time the Federal Reserve via the Treasury Secretary are considering an increase in interest rates. Cost of borrowing money will go up. Those of us 55 or older have seen this movie before. Johnson/Nixon pumped government money into the economy which resulted in run away inflation. The Fed raises interest rates to curb inflation. I remember mortgage rates were at 16%. Result of that maneuver was a pronged recession during the Carter and first term of the Reagan Administration. Regardless of you policy positions, inflation is a real threat today. So once again, why not pussy?There has been, in my opinion, a significant increase is provider rates in the past year, presumably because of coronavirus, where fewer men were willing to indulge, and providers sought fewer men meaning they had to increase their rates to continue to pay their bills. Rates increased by as much as 50% or more. Now that things are starting to calm down, one might assume that more men will return to the hobby, but I doubt that rates will come down, since providers now see that the market will tolerate the higher rates. Any other points of view?
Once they dry up some will lower the rates again. Some kept their rates the same (no raising or lowering). Some kept the rates for the same for regulars, but only raised them for new customers. It all goes with supply and demand.
There are many providers that limited their clientele last year, and some that took the year off. As both providers and mongers return to the fold, it SHOULD put downward pressure on rates, so I have to respectfully disagree with your assessment.
For that would place upward pressure on rates. My guess, and it is just that, is that the forces at play will balance out and rates will remain where they are for a time. It is an interesting topic, to be sure.
on prices it will be the result of devaluation of our currency from too much debt being created to ARTIFICIALLY give the ILLUSION of a strong economy.
The economy really is booming. Yes, it's a crack fueled bubble caused mainly by government infusing TRILLIONS of dollars of freshly minted money into the economy, but it's booming none the less. And a booming economy invariably causes prices to rise in certain sectors like the price of pussy.
Yes, this bubble is going to burst someday (or our entire banking system will be reset) but in the meantime if I have to pay a few dollars more in currency that is being devalued a little bit more every single day, BUT I am making millions and millions more of those same devalued dollars, so be it.
I know the PTB refuse to admit it, except for Janet Yellin who was forced to walk back her statements almost as soon as she made them, but inflation is not "coming" it's already here, and it's inflation has hit the price of pussy just as sure as it has the price of a gallon of gas or a loaf of bread.
I don't really see it as a one or the other -- though perhaps you mean something different that what I thought with the banking system reset. I would actually expect to see both a crash and that forcing the reset -- which unfortunately we got one round of just a bit over ten years back.
However that's not really relevant to TER, and you know how I like adjusting terms and phrases. SO I will posit that going forward on TER we steal and redefine the old PPP (purchasing power parity) from international econ. Hereafter let that be Purchasing Power of Pussy (which would just be the index of pussy prices -- excluding those associated with divorce).
The true amount of money we owe is in the HUNDREDS OF TRILLIONS!!! far more than we are ever going to be able to even think about paying back. I see a reset BEFORE we have a crash, but you could be right that a crash could cause the reset, either way I see a reset coming.
Really, As I recall, DJT and Crackhead Larry Kudlow said that the economy was going to boom last spring. It was after the CARES Act but well before the stimulus in December and March. I think DJT said it was going to be a super "V" recovery, the greatest boom in history. So, explain how this is all a crack fueled bubble. After the shutdown last year the economy was going to boom no matter what. The real debate, as articulated by L. Summers, is whether all the stimulus is going to cause inflation at 3-5%. Way premature to know whether is going to be the case.
Filled up your car with gas, priced a home, bought any lumber recently?
Inflation is not "right around the corner" it's here NOW. Oil prices have doubled in the last few months, the price of lumber has TRIPLED, and the fed just keeps printing money. My payroll costs have risen about 40% in the last few months to get qualified help, but I don't really mind too much since as I mentioned the price of oil has more than doubled from it's lows of a year or so ago.
I hope you realize that YOUR President has proposed another $6 TRILLION in new spending in just his first 100 days in office. Nah we aren't in a crack fueled bubble at all. Good thing the FED has promised to play ball and won't even consider any interest rate hikes until AFTER 2023, can you imagine what our deficits would look like if we were actually paying interest on our debt?
BTW, in the interest of fairness, DJT spent money like a drunken sailor as well, I have no doubt that he too would be spending money by the Trillions too if he were still POTUS. Personally I think Biden is going to be better for me personally, when you are whining about $5 gas, I'll be raking in the money. and we'll both have this administrations energy policy to thank for it. lol
See my post from seven days ago, I agree completely with your assessment.
We really should remember the days of double digit inflation and double digit interest rates. Didn't Reagan call that the misery index? Or was that inflation and the unemployment rate.
Politics aside, economics dictate we are headed for, or are in, an inflationary cycle. People on a fixed income (me) can really get screwed by inflation.
Biden was around in the 70's and 80's. Did he learn nothing? Most of the senior leadership in government were old enough to remember.
It is said that those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it. Well guess what, folks.

I am not making a political argument. Both Democrats and Republicans have been on a spending spree.
My argument is an economic one.
Supply and demand were both down significantly in 2020 due to Covid. I would say Covid had little if any effect on pricing.
These days you can see higher [asking] prices on Twitter from girls who are now "low volume". They are sitting at home tweeting and complaining. Some of them are effectively retired, but don't understand that yet.
The girls that are working don't have time for Twitter. Those that have plenty of time for twitter are not working.
Prices have been on the upswing for awhile...pre-covid. And depending on where your market is and what "level" of girl you seek then that would play into how much of an increase. I've seen girls go from 600 to 800, and that's not inflation.
All it take is a few girls to increase their rates, for whatever reason and the others will follow...."Well shit, if she can get that, well then I could get that too, "....that's just the way it is...
I've learned to don't hate, stay in my lane...and you can't fight progress.
This is a great approach about playing in your lane - there is enough clients and providers to go around at any price point! Why get mad when there will be always someone who will either be in your budget?
What's in my budget is suddenly not worth it.
Does that make sense?

My dearest Adrianamonet,
Also, take into consideration the geographic landscape of where you are advertising those prices and the type of economy you are in while you are advertising your prices. (I.E. White Collar vs. Blue Collar). Then you can see if the statement would hold true. That is why the ability to travel to different venues is important because those in other major cities would tend to have more disposable income.
Oh wait... You're paying them? My setup with them is totally different
Price Is Only An Issue In The Absence Of Value!!!....there is a huge difference in the taste of QUALITY...i dont mind inflation as long as i see the difference in the cost of"bottom shelf"and"top shelf"stays about the same
it is ALL subjective. Beauty and the value of any lady's assets, as well as defining a reasonable price to share them, has been and always will be; "in the eye of the beholder."
In My Humble Opinion, The price in the hobby is relative to a few things:
1: This "Market" is so diverse - say Monger A is in a position financially where spending 2-3k for an absolutely amazing 12 hours with an amazing escort is 100% immaterial to his financial health / Monger B is also playing it fast and loose but is paying attention to how much he spends / Monger C has a tight ass budget and is watching every penny (not to mention $100).
* I always pay more because I have found that it increases my chances of having an extraordinary encounter (and it bothers me when I "under-pay" for something as intimate as these encounters are.
With that being said, The value that you receive for say seeing Scarlett Scott or Isabella Narchi for an hour or so for $600 is absolutely fucking ridiculous - What you "get" for what you "pay" in those encounters is so crazy good that if you can't get your head around it you shouldn't be in this hobby!
Also, as I had my obsessive ass sucked into the Sugar Bowl the last few years - the amount of money and time I spend there to fuck a Newbe a couple of times is huge (but the volume factor is less than zero). In this hobby however, It seems what I was paying 1k for 10 years ago now costs $600.
So I have been and am still out of the hobby for a couple of years, but always window shopping. In ATL our local providers tend to be plus sized “mature” women that I would think would get lower rates, but I noticed that rates are going up. $500 is the new $300, and $700 the new $500, but the women are basically the same women, plus 20lbs for covid - hence my own confusion. But it doesn’t stop there, I see many of the touring ladies have raised prices by $200-400. I think it might be that all boats rise with the tide; the touring women raise prices, so locals can too.
On the other side, I looked at the Canadian Agencies which are back in business, and their prices haven’t budged. Probably as a result, the independents haven’t raised their prices much either. Now the CAD has strengthened against the USD maybe 10% in 2 years, but that still works out to $240/hr USD +$80 for Greek. So whatever nonsense is happening here, isn’t happening in our fairer neighbor. And before you think you get what you pay for . . . Go check a random Canadian agency website in Toronto (it’s Bizzaro world, the talents is higher, more plentiful and half the price). I’ll also add that in over 30 encounters I’ve always gotten the girl from the photo, and she was always available with minor flexibility issues, and never once had a services issue, YMMV BS. Man . . . I need to take a trip. On their end, it’s gotta be the competition, cause I’ve had girls from Ft. Lauderdale, Miami and Maine in Canada - plus a lot of Canadians, Asians, and Europeans - the rates are the same wherever they are visiting from.
I see two trends-one that makes sense to me and one that leaves me scratching my head. The first is that some well established providers have upped prices over the last few years. Rates of $350-$400 as standard in DC are crawling to $500 and in a few cases $600. Good for them. Their level of service is high and they have a track record and established clientele. I may not see them as often as I did at a lower rate, but they are still my go to ladies
The head scratchers are folks in their early 20’s, with no/limited review history who are essentially asking us to TOFTT at $700-$1200 an hour. Their pics are hot but.....I’m sure there is a market for them, but IMHO it is an irrational market
I haven't seen any increase in rates in the past year plus, at least amongst the ladies I see.
The market will probably tolerate higher rates...for certain providers of quality--both performance- and appearance-wise.
I agree with others here that the biggest issue is those providers who may be there appearance-wise, but performance is meh. As the world returns to normal, I suspect that those tier 2 or tier 3 providers will have to up their game, lower their prices or drop out.
My theory is there was a slightly heightened demand during the pandemic as a reasonably substantial number of better-looking guys who would normally get some relief for free by hooking up at bars or nightclubs found those avenues closed by the lockdowns. Instead of spending their "fun" money on clothes, drinks, travel, etc. They started mongering.
When the meet markets reopen, they may return to those places.
Frankly, it blows my mind on some of these advertising sites where a girl has a username "Kinky______" and their list of "No's" is longer than my arm. You can't charge $700/hr or more and the extent of the allowed interaction is limited by those full-body condoms in "The Naked Gun."
I only hobby a 2-3 times a year, and when I do, I'm targeting a specific level of price-appearance-performance. That amount has risen in the past year or two. I hope it comes down maybe half a notch. I'd just like to not have to sort through all these girls who obviously really don't want to be doing this based on what they're willing to do behind closed doors.
for those who refuse to take a job. This is signaling that for many, there is still no need to work. That's certainly going to apply to a few sex workers. So that is going to be one upward price pressure. And now we're having general inflation pressure. The next question is whether demand will boost or undercut price pressure. To be seen.
