Will it eventually price some people out? Would you give up punting if everyone went too high?
I guess it always has in the sense that people like me would almost definitely punt more, if all hookers we like you. That is, in the sense of giving a decent service for the prices you charge, with the flexible timings you offer, if the truth be told. I still haven't fucked you, Lily - so I can't be more specific than that.
But like the vast majority of things in life, I only properly enjoy something, knowing I've gotten at least a reasonable deal relative to average market rates. No matter how good her look or service is, I simply can't pay 120 for half an hour with an amazing girl, when I know there are plenty of very fuckable ones who'll bang me twice for almost half the price.
Whether it's on the basis of a quickie, half, three-quarter, or a rare full hour booking, I almost never pay more than 50 quid/pop/girl. I'd usually need to be utterly gagging for a fuck with no other options, in order to do so.
In laymen terms, that usually boils down to 100/hh, absolute max. But even then, the girl usually needs to be offering something special for a second pop that quick - like happily putting her tight asshole round my dick, or sucking another girl's cunt, as I fuck her a second time - again, preferably in the ass.
Accordingly, 15 punts are therefore where I do most of business, given such services at decent value are pretty rare.
In terms of whether I'd ever give it up altogether, I imagine there'll always be girls on the market, charging acceptable amounts relative to my wage and state of the local economy, that I can justify paying to fuck. On saying that, things have been stretched pretty much as far as they can go on the hooker pricing front recently. When I started punting seven or eight years ago, the standard quickie rate was 40-50 quid, depending on the girl. This is now pushing 60 for most you'd actually want to fuck - all in well under a decade of economic stagnation. Similarly, half-hour rates that were 60-70 are now pushing 90 - hence the dwindling number of girls I can justify paying for a shag.
Another issue on top of all this though is the fact that I'm still (barely) good-looking and young enough, to shag something comparably attractive enough that'll genuinely make me cum without too much trouble - all for free, provided I've got the time and am also willing to the put the effort in to do so. Thus, while I occasionally punt to fulfill fantasies pretty unobtainable on civvy street, I generally do so for convenience, combined with the desire and thrill of the impulsive immediacy of it. When I'm old, ugly, probably fat and metaphorically fucked, I likely won't have (at least a desirable sex) free sex life, so will likely be more of a slave to the market, inevitably.
