Despite all the polemics and personal experience passed off as veritable facts on a whole industry, the above is what I think many of you should take as a sobering article on the reality of prostitution economics - in the UK. But alas, I believe the dynamics are probably similar enough to here, or if not yet, then the shape of things to come?

.... and then there's the economics of prostitution in China:

.... which should shed new light on our micro girls here and why/how they do what they do.

Important differences between Canada and the UK are that Canada does not share a common market with Hungary, Poland and the Czech Republic allowing immigrants to come and compete at lower prices. The location of Canadian population centers can predictably draw Americans across the border to pay for sex; and the natural resources/industrial opportunitirs allow young and undereducated folks to make enough to afford prostitutes. So all in all, it is a very different landscape than the over crowded, immigrant dense, service heavy economy of Britain.

I have to go with this perspective...my business/hobby isn't suffering an iota. Cheap quick services are not my competition, never have been, never will be. Our market for sexy, comfortable, reliable, luxury companionship is alive and well, as far as my experience indicates.

And, btw, I have the rent, I advertise for the fun of it!

I just wanted to double check the highlighted remark as being correctly typed with no errors.

I don't understand what is being said here?

Venessa just likes to post whether she has anything important to say or not.

She really can't help herself

What a classic case of denial - when people are in denial they focus on all the differences between a situation and the one they're in, instead of all the obvious similarities.

Those two articles point out some things that others have repeatedly mentioned in other posts, that are happening here.

Get over here, LIJ. Get over here and step on the pieces of my broken heart.... p)

Put everyone on ignore. Start posting in threads with no context at all.

That might not make much of a difference.

Probably not for my posts.

I can absolutely confirm the article to be accurate, spending a fair amount of time in the UK. Ten years ago, I found it to be the standard that if you paid under £100 ($150) the BJ would be covered. From £120 ($180) and up you could reasonably expect a BBBJ..
These days, it's not difficult at all to find girls who will BBBJ and CIM/Swallow for as little as £40 ($60). It's a great time to be a pooner in the UK!
