Don't think it's 50/50 maybe 60/40 or 70/30 favoring SP/SR... They set the price. If they set the bar really high.. There are SP's in LA that charge $1000- 3,000 for an hour. and they get paid you guys are complaining about $300?? seriosly
I am not complaining but simply helping the OP get in grips with the rate being charged these days.

Wow, we havent had this thread is weeks.
Pay or dont, but crying about prices makes you look stupid.
You hit the nail on the head...pay-up or shut up.

On a serious note if pooners WANT to bring the cost down it comes down to 1 simple thing...abstinance......none of the mamby pamby BS of "I dont like the cost but I pay it once a week/fortnight/month"...total abstinance....as in NO SEX for a long protracted period of time....that of course requires solidarity and to be honest that is what is lacking.

The pay-4-play game is market driven and the only way to drive down the cost is for some iron willed control by the guys that pay for it......some day way back when some stupid doorknob got told "yeah it's $300 an hour" by a gal and he said "yeah OK" because he wanted to get laid and was not thinking with the big head.

why so much?

Far be it from me to say what a provider is worth, the market determines that. I have had experiances that were priceless, as well as ones I would sooner forget. No one is forcing me to see a SP, I make a choice and vote with my wallet. This is economics, pure and simple. If a SP can command a price, why would she reduce her rates?

In the 1980s it was not uncommon to spend 450-500 per hour and there was supposed to be a recession going on.

I was pretty shocked to come on here and see how low the prices were.

Hey, there is someone out there for everyone's budget. No point in standing in front of the Mercedes dealership if you know you'll never own one....it's sorta like that.

I mean, I hope you are not thinking that pooning is replacing the sex you would get in a relationship: fucking 4 days a week, or so.
It's more of a treat. A rare one at that :)

If I was a guy I would probably just watch porn and beat off Ha Ha Ha!

I don't think victoria is cheaper and compared to a big city there is limited competition. I find the prices back east are much better. There is more competition I suppose. Nevertheless if you can find a mature provider the prices are more rasonable (especially an asian provider). In the end its all a question of supply and demand. I notice that some ladies tour western canada but don't go to eastern canada probably because they know its more competitive and they might have to lower their prices.



I remember when I first got into this hobby about 9 years ago back in Toronto. For the most part, the providers were charging about $140-$210 for the hour. At the time I thought $200 was alot. Over the years I've seen prices go up in some places. Just 2 years ago when I was in Vancouver most of the providers were charging under $260. Now look at almost every ad on here. Most of them are charging $$$! When does it stop? There are ladies on erslist, backpage, etc that charge less but some of those are bait and switch. With providers charging more and more as time goes by, it's becoming increasingly difficult to find good providers at a reasonable price. Victoria's cheaper but the options are limited. Thoughts, opinions, comments?

Dang I WISH I got into this hobby 9 years ago when the house I was renting on the West Side went on the market for $289,000. The landlord offered it to my roommate and I for less than that as we could've avoided the agent and done a private deal. We were pretty young (and stupid) and oblivious to the potential of the nightmare that is today and shrugged it off. Same house sold last year for over a million. =(

If anything, now that my dreams of owning a home in the city I was born are forever dashed, saving money seems futile. Renter forever. Pooner forever. $250 an hour for a more than adequate sexual experiences with beautiful women? Yes please! What else am I going to do with my money? Buy a house? Baaahahahahahhaa! Yeah no.

Reminds of this crusty old alcoholic sea captain with a crooked neck that used to come in to my bar every day and upon being asked of how he was would always answer, "Broke and happy!". Maybe he was a pooner too.

I don't know if I lower my rate to meet the market.
I would lower my rate when I felt it is not fair for clients to pay me that much to spend time with me.

well ma'am, i don't know what crowd you were hanging out with, but the folks who hang out on perb that were around participating in the business in the '80s were sure as hell not 'commonly' paying 450-500 per hour! it was out there at that price, yes - but it sure as hell wasn't the 'common' price being charged. i'm callin' you out on this one mimi, lol :)

don't pay if you think its too expensive
simple as that,

i kind of think live cams are a rip off the girls charge more some of them anyway charge more per-minute then an escort
i rarely cam with a girl almost never


escorts i think its how you look at it
sex what is it worth, almost nothing really
but if your horny miserable looking at girls and not getting any, even worse if your married and not getting any
shit trust me married and not getting any and horny is not a good place to be,


seeing a lady and her taking care of the horny part, with little or no risk nor fuss, its well worth something worth a hell of a lot actually

reading a article in the newspaper about long life, and people who enjoy a long life the key word is enjoy. you have to have a zest and an enjoyment in life or to your life

so sex by itself is worth nothing,

but to be miserable and horny with no sex,
what is it worth to find some lady and who will help you out with the horny part, and give you something to look forward to like next week next day or whenver you can get together again.

i have seen a lady regularly for years. paid her alot of money

she has never let me down, every couple of weeks for the most part,

how do you put a price on quality of life,
i mean i was married and not having sex but horny.
now im still married having sex regularly with the same women just not my wife,
like i said i was horny and miserable,

now im well i find or have found a lady who will take care of the horny part, and im not at all miserable.
how do you put a price on that.

Or you can join a dating website $40. Meet someone go on a date $20 coffee /$20 Movie/ ($40 snack bar crap.) $25 gas. Or maybe you go to a Canuck's game $125 a ticket and up Dinner at the keg with a bottle of wine $100-$150 easy. with the chances of getting Laid????? 50/50 60/40 on the first date. Your still on an outlay of $200 easy on the bottom end up to $400+ on the other side.
The point of dating is not simply sex. It is not even vaguely comparable. A date is an entire evening of experience. You do it to be with a friend and enjoy the company. Sex, if it happens, is a fringe benefit and should never be expected.

If your only reason to go on a date is to get laid, I can pretty much guarentee that you are going to be in the company of a seriously pissed off woman sooner or later in that experience. No one likes to be used.

Before I ever looked at an escort ad (last july :p) I always had a feeling that it was in the thousand/hour range. Simply because I placed the value of sex really high. I knew that having a session with SW was dirt cheap but personally I never had and hopefully never will have an interest on those kind of arrangements. So I was pleasantly surprised when I found out that the highest in perb was in the 500 dollar range. I think the rate will go high and high as time goes by due to inflation and what not, but I think the rates are quite reasonable at the moment.
The ladies who charge $1000 an hour don't advertise :)

Well that's how free market works.The idea that decreased demand will force a majority of the higher end SPs to move/ reduce their price reiterates the concept that SRs do have say in the price. I would say its 50:50 , SR:SP influence.
It won't force them to do anything. You are forgetting that the SP has a choice in this as well (she doesnt have a quota she has to meet), and if she thinks $300/hr is reasonable for her time, that is what she will charge. If less is unacceptable to her for the quality of the service she provides, she would simply find another line of work.

The year was 1984. The agency was "A Class" and "Richmond's finest" The owner was Yvonne. One hour of social time was $100 split 60/40 with the agency. The sex was charge separately and we kept every penny.

Instead of nickel and diming I charged $350 for all inclusive (which did not include daty or kissing), so I brought home $410 in the pocket.

The other agency in town (owners typically had 2 agencies under their belt) was Connoisseur's companions. They charged between $250 and $300 per hour, but took 40% of the woman's earnings and handled the calls for the lady.

My agency never allowed SWs in the ranks. We could get reprimanded for wearing pants. My clients were business men. I was hired because Vancouver escorts did not want to drive all the way out to Richmond and there was very good business coming from the hotels around the airport.

Plus, I was mighty hawt back then....sigh...tiny waist, long shapely legs, beautiful face...if I had a crystal ball and seen what I would look like in the future I wouldn't have left the biz for marriage...huge regret!

BTW...there were women who worked for the agency who charged less. One was referred to as 'the dog'. She skimmed the bottom calls....someone for everyone.

Hey Mimi,

Always love to read your thoughtful and often autobiographical comments—fascinating! You've obviously faced your share of challenges, including those involving health, but certainly not lost your feistiness of spirit.

It would never occur to me to haggle with an SP about pricing. If I were an attractive woman, I'd probably be an SP too—and I'd of course charge what the market will bear.

Seems to me there's no real disagreement here—there're simply different pooning styles that appeal to different pooners. Given Dickson's taste and budget, he orchestrates elaborate "elimination contests" with high-end escorts for a thousand grand a shot.

Given hatrick's tastes and budget, he finds gems on the street and cavorts with them for 40 bucks.

Given my tastes and budget, I frolic with Asian micro girls for around $150 and have a blast. I think it's great that we don't all plow the same furrows.

Exactly, I have since met women who were working out of bars and charging much less. It never occurred to me to charge so little, and no one ever seemed to blink at the price.

I think, Tant, that if you were a woman your libido would seriously undermine any efforts to earn money :))

Funny thing: when I quit, the agency owner handed me wads of cash, cause when I was paid by CC I had never bothered to stop by and pick up my cut....sigh!

My two bedroom apartment in Richmond was $500 per month.

I have nothing to show for all that money except a large and irritating Queen size bed made of solid teak
