I’m just posting this because I hope it helps someone researching their options - in short, save your money for the UK, honestly. I even read that on here somewhere once before. But I thought I knew best. I should have heeded the advice!
For some personal reasoning, read on (it’s a bit long and a bit rushed so maybe not the most coherent, but anyway...) Findings from personal experience over several years -
In the US generally, it’s easy to get seduced by the escort listings online, and by the 10/10 Americans you can see in bars, gyms, strippers, porn etc. In reality, my findings of those who actually escort at an even vaguely affordable level hasn’t been very good.
I’ve seen a couple of girls from Backpage site (now shut down I think) that were average to OK (service & honest representation of advert pics) but the actual encounter is just so much more clinical - OW as standard, sometimes phone calls, they all seem to have pimps (don’t know why so few go at it independently, maybe they get messed about?), lots of rules, always discussions on ‘services’ menu (what ‘entertainment’ is on offer for what money - often being vague & unhelpful).
Said vagueness I guess, is often explained away by the fact that in the US, there’s always the threat of vice law enforcement hanging over these meets - manifesting in the secrecy, often the refusal to discuss services until in person, the questions, the checking & verification services (that’ll also cost you). No one wants to be busted - especially not the American John in case their kids and church finds out they’re really a cunt like everyone else!
The whole thing is nuts really. A nation founded by puritans who wanted a place where they could be more conceited and judgmental - it’s still ongoing! They made a big deal about banning booze for a while (but obviously everyone was still drinking), and prostitution is banned (but obviously Americans still have their heads in the gutter like everyone else in the world) - just in the US, you go to church, tell everyone about going to church, and that means you’re meant to be believed when judging other people and saying how upstanding you are. So still religion prospers, and links hand in hand in politics. Anyway, I digress.
Eros seems...a step up from Backpage. But from my experience it hasn’t been. The photos are shamelessly old, massively photoshopped, or just not the girl who arrives. Consistently! This has especially been my experience in Vegas. - When texting, I’ve even asked girls to send me a selfie (nothing sexy just so I can see it is not a bollox profile) and they send one, looks great, turn up at your hotel door and - different story! The indignation. Then the fee you’ve both discussed over text previously (EG $400 in Vegas) is really just to get them in the room! If you want any more you have to discuss it all, which I hate, barter (which I also hate, I’m not Jewish) then at times I’ve ended up at $600 and still not getting sex. But then just being so disillusioned by the whole thing, and thinking with your dick, you just think fuck it (or not) and go through with it.
I am sure there are many better men than me on this forum who would have walked or commanded that situation better than me but there you go - I hate that stuff & it doesn’t happen like that in the UK, which works better. Also because in Vegas it’s always outcall, you can’t walk, and who knows if they’d be furious and rob you (and you can’t say anything because the whole situation is illegal) or make a scene at the hotel, tell the hotel staff, or threaten to tell the police about you (because they’ve already demanded your full name etc as some sort of verification that you’re not an undercover cop etc when setting up the meet). So it’s all just so much more COMPLICATED. And, although this is a word overused so much in this day and age of politically correct pussies, STRESSFUL.
Vegas pricing in particular seems insane. Agency pricing is often $150 for the hour, but again, that just gets the girl to the room (not looking like her pics), then it’s all the bartering and discussion of service bullshit as aforementioned. The $150 apparently goes all to the agency so the girl often wants $800 more of a ‘gift’ for full service. Insane.
Pamela Peaks seem legit once you’re verified ($70 or so through an external service). She has great pornstars on her books but prices are high. $1200-1400 minimum. $200 goes to Pam, rest to the model. But who knows if that $1000/1200 + gets you everything. I’m sure you’d need to discuss all that when they arrive! I honestly don’t know. But at least with that route you know who you’re getting at your door - by following their Instagram or OnlyFans to check what they’re looking like these days.
The last thing I will probably try once things open up again is Sheri’s ranch. Outside Vegas, in NV, prostitution is legal and there are brothels. I really don’t know much about the quality of girls or pricing but at least you can see what’s on offer, and find out what for, before you’re in too deep. The facilities there look amazing online, too.
To conclude, in the UK you can get some really amazing looking high end girls for much lower pricing (£500 not $1200). And they’re so much nicer, and better at their job. It’s also just easier, more natural, open, fun and enjoyable.
I’ve also met some amazing girls in London & other UK cities in the £150-250 range. Ads, services & pictures are much more accurate, services are listed with no secrecy, you can often do some independent research and the reviews mean more. I actually think sites like this really keep the UK market in check, so it doesn’t spiral into the punter rip-off world like America - sites like this keep the market more honest, genuine, and customer focussed. The US seems the opposite.
Not sure why that is - at a guess, because Americans are less genuine, less honest, and more obsessed with making money.
Just my 10 cents!
