Exactly right. Economics 101. Demand for service will increase. That means the price will go up, not down. Sure they’ll be some girls that bottom out their rate out of fear, one has already claimed to. But that won’t last.

If the ladies are smart they will not dro their price and will either keep it the same or increase accordingly. Don’t care if the guys feel it’s worth it not...yes men have the money but we also have something that’s in high demand...and if the shutdown happens it will be in even higher demand imo.

Y’all stay safe...don’t get desperate and stupid ...

I disagree that price will go up. Here is why.. this is more or less a discretionary market for Johns. It’s money that we don’t need for savings (at least some of us) and it’s easier than dating for only pussy. Honest truth. Sure if allll of the sites went down it would shrink the provider population. Obviously, that would create market demand.. but.. that also creates a decrease in johns that would pay more than premium rates. 200-300 and hr is far higher than most countries. The avg in London is 150 pounds (at a 1.4x exchange rate). London is an expensive city (far more expensive than Dallas).

This is an discretionary hobby. For providers, not so discretionary, I don’t care how hard you argue that.. for 90% it’s a livelihood.

Personally, this might mean that I fly to Iceland (cheapest flight into Europe is 400 to Iceland). Then I can pick my poison for like 60 bucks (which country to go fucky fucky in). In Prague, you can pay like 130 for what you would pay 400 an hr here. Poland.. Hell of a a lot cheaper. Riga, Tallinn, Odessa, Kiev.. way cheaper.. oh and Germany... where I started hobbying.. 50 Euro a quicky.. 100 an hr... and their FKK clubs are nuts... I mean so much fun.

The higher U.S. provider prices (and specifically Dallas) is doable because of convience. You raise those rates to the equalivant of a round trip flight.. no pussy is worth that.

By all means.. raise your prices.. it’s going to be enjoyable watching most guys save money and providers going from that 6 oz filet at flemmings to PB&J.

Every time the government has made it harder to buy something, it’s become more expensive. The hobby has been a weird anomaly in recent years (technically illegal, but easy to acquire as websites dedicated to it have proliferated), but I don’t think we’re going to see it buck that long-term trend.
