What does this FOSTA/SESTA thing do to the market?
There is both supply and demand but obstacles in communication that make it harder to get information out.. do prices go up or down? does it discourage either buyers or sellers?

prices would go up, bc there's more liability, overseas resources are more expensive, keep your regulars ladies and be nice with the ones you haven't meet.

I think " guides " who stay to their locale, and have a solid client base will suffer very little.  It could even free up revenue, since they won't have to maintain a web presence...at least not through a dedicated website. Touring is going to get hit the hardest. Newer "guides " who haven't been able to establish a solid client base will also struggle. Thisessentially knocks things back to the pony express days. You're back to " word of mouth" referrals.  It severely hampers self promotion...

Prices go up, and down. For ladies with a large existing client base, prices can go up because clients have a harder time finding new providers. For ladies with few existing clients prices go down in the desperate search for income streams.

Like you said Supply In Demand,  being Creative and Imagination 😏

or LE bears down harder on it.

 
However, with legalized marijuana,  the price seems to be going up under legalization.   Much of that is because of taxes, but I think the fact that the plethora of illegal dealers will decrease for various reasons and people will have a smaller supply of legal dealers to turn to.

 
How SESTA will affect prices remains to be seen.   I predict little if any effect.

 
(still not an economist)

In theory, established providers could raise prices as access to newer or alternative providers declines.  But as fear of the unknown drives some consumers/hobbyists to leave the market, a decreasing demand could push prices down.  

There are so many variables that are difficult to measure, it’s going to be a very individualistic response.  For example, vice officers that dedicated time and resources to BP providers and stings may choose to shift focus to brick and mortar AMPs.  

Basic theory tells us any drastic swings in pricing in either direction will fail, while minor adjustments would be more likely to succeed, but will still take a longer to validate and measure over time.

....... I paid the same price as I paid before  for the lady who drained me on Thursday. The same for the lady who used the violet wand on me, then drained me yesterday.
I didn't pay my NSA friend today.  

Tuesday, I'm grandfathered priced with a long time regular and Friday I'll pay the same for the lady I always have enjoyed for a couple of years.

After that I will recognize that I can't guess the future and will decide what and who I will do with the funds I have available.

Have fun trying to work the futures on p4p. Hahaha  

Don't be paralyzed, just have fun.

The expert opinion we had been waiting for!

He said:  "Don't ever make predictions, especially about the future."

Demand's going to spike and then drops like a rock, and prices follow. Guys are going to try to form connections fearing disconnection. So, there's a spike in interest and prices are going up.  

I'm interested in just about every lady posting today  

That's the immediate. What happens next is some of those settle with regs, some with other regs, and others find alternatives, so the one-time spike in demand goes away. Supply will dry up.  

What that means is anyone fooled by demand and increasing prices a lot I don't think will be happy. As the longer-term demand drops, prices need to, but that's hard for most to consider, and some won't do well with that.  

After that - who knows - but, if I had to guess, those ladies that kept / stuck with regs are going to be able to keep those going without much change from today, but, if they have to market for new regs on dating sites, they're not going to get similar, and guys are going to find those sites too and also find out what they're missing.  

3-9 months everything changes.  

Remember when people paid for porn sites before the porn stars competed with amateurs? Jenna J used to make bank. Today they get a few hundy.  

Not that extreme, but when everyone's on a SA or hook-up app things will change. I'm not necessarily saying for the better. Just saying if you have relationships that work for you, I wouldn't run any off in the short-term.... too much can change quickly and you may regret it in no time!
