A fascinating discussion, with which I concur. Although I suggest that the decline has been happening for quite some time. Looking back at comments on a similar discussion in 2019, this is what I said then:
"I tend to agree that there is a drop off in activity on AW, as well as a bit of a crisis in terms of rising prices and poorer customer service amongst many working girls. I think it's likely to get worse. My own tastes are for MILFs and GILFs, and in my part of the world it used to be quite easy to book one at a day or two's notice, working out of her Council house and prepared to sell her fanny for £90 or £100 per hour; and her arse for a tenner more... Sadly, a number of my ladies of choice have retired over the last few years, and aren't being replaced by newer providers.
Those who remain seem busier and more difficult to book, and obviously have all the regulars they can accommodate... It's difficult to identify what exactly has happened, but the huge drop in teenage pregnancies in recent decades has definitely been a contributory factor - there are fewer women abandoned by boyfriends with kids to look after, and desperate to earn something to supplement their benefits. Instead any girl with get up and go in the decaying pit towns and villages of Yorkshire and the East Midlands which are my punting territory are in regular work, or off to college, and not in the career path from pump and dump in seedy parlours to independent whore working from home.
Relatively few of the women in these dead-end areas have got what it takes to be successful whores - it's not enough to have an enthusiasm for cock and skills in servicing it. They've got to keep a clean, tidy and respectable house - most of us will only visit an SP where the house smells of smoke or the plumbing hangs off the wall once. Likewise, the presence of the other half watching Jeremy Kyle downstairs, or some lairy youths outside isn't great for the libido... A good whore needs be friendly and accommodating, and able to manage conversation with the wide range of gentlemen who pay their hard-earned money to use her cunt... A good whore needs to be organised - and many of those I've met combine looking after children, grandchildren and elderly parents with opening their legs two or three times a day. Not easy, and whilst whoring may have been the only option when the women I prefer went on the game in previous decades, there are more choices now..."
The reason we can't find a willing WG with whom to spend our hard-earned cash is that for most women with the get-up-and-go to make a living from escorting, there are other alternatives.
