I don't really understand the price gouging comment
A provider sets a price on her product and its not a commodity you have to have like gasoline, food, water or anything to help you survive. Its more of a luxury like cold beer , or cigarettes you don't have to have it.
You claim you have never paid full price on a product or a service but the biggest problem you have is this is a living breathing person not some object or a commodity.
Most men don't treat providers or any other women as an object. Its not wise to piss a woman off that is gonna have your pecker in her mouth...lol
try bartering with a doctor that's about to perform open heart surgery on you or a lawyer that's trying to keep you out of jail. If you don't want to pay 200 to 250 and hr find a cheap street walker just like you can find a cheap doctor at free clinic or cheap lawyer that is court appointed.Its not gouging if theres other providers or hookers that have a cheaper product.
I guess I just look at it differently and I don't mind paying more for something I'm gonna enjoy !!
