Effect the corona virus will have on prices

You're the guy in the advert with the Breitling watch and the Jag, aren't you? 

hahaha - Maybe, but I wouldn't downgrade to a Jag

T5 Polestar (I like to be different) although I really do like Maserati, I wouldn't buy one or an Aston or similar - too old now & don't want to look like a complete knob if I can help it

Haven’t read all the responses on here because I’m just having a quick cheeky look while the OH is in another room.

My thoughts are that we, as the market, have the ultimate power to decide the long term of this.

It’s quite possible that some WGs will push up prices to recoup. However, if we stand firm en masse (not a euphemism), it should help keep things sensible or even restore things to post-COVID prices.

However if they go lower, it may encourage longer visits and ultimately prove more financially worthwhile for the WGs.



Also, just noticed as I was scrolling someone using the name “Third Man”. Just wanted to make clear that isn’t me. No issue with whoever it is, just clarifying.

And I will come back and read the rest of the thread when I get chance - interested to see how people think it will go. Also be interested to know what agencies will be advising their girls to do.

[williambream]

I think two things - there will be a shift towards onlyfans type stuff which it has been seen is popular due to people not being able to leave.

Secondly I believe prices will go up for the sole reason that escorts dont feel they are driven by market conditions. You have mass unemployment, loss of income for those still working and some girls are still touring asking for 150 - 200ph.

If they were ever driven by the market they wouldnt be charging double the minimum wage days worth of work for one hour.

I personally dont think I'll come out of this punting which is going to be around 1500 a year out of the local 'economy's but that is due to me not being able to point during lockdown and feeling ok about it. You dont miss it after a while.

In any business you have to understand your client base but escorts simply won't offer graded fees (unemployed/ oap/ student)  and why would they? It sounds ridiculous written down.

I think due to this there will be a void in the market, prices will rise in the short term and settle back down longer term but I doubt they'll drop below what they currently are/were.

Well if they don't get back to reasonable rates  after lockdown that's me out of this hobby, as we all know it is very expensive but as has been mentioned by a few on here
its not been as bigger miss as we thought so I will just have to go without the little bit of fun

It's interesting how people are doing without.

Punters by now should have got over it. Occasional punters are better suited but weekly punters might have found it harder.

I wonder how many people just punt out of boredom and now don't miss it.

This is why the girls needs to be careful. There is more supply and less demand - this should dictate lower prices but I think vanity will prevent that...

I often used to punt out of boredom but I'd already backed off a bit and gone from two or more bookings a week to a couple a month.  I've now managed to do pretty much nothing for almost 2 months, and have got used to not going out in general. 

[Bootyhunter01]

After all this, there will be a recession with job losses and pay freezes.  Most people's punting power will be severely reduced, which will impact on the demand. I predict the price will briefly go up during the lockdown but when it is all over, WGs will be struggling for business and prices will come down.

[Bootyhunter01]

Ooops Williambream touched it already.

[AnthG]

When the lockdown ends. A lot of punters are still not going to want to book until a vaccine is developed. And those who do want to book, are going to be skint due to being furloughed for months.

So unless a load of WGs retire from this job. There are going to be a whole load of girls trying to entice a small selection of punters to see them. Who those punters will still be incredibly cagey about seeing them too due to potentially catching this from them. And those WGs will also be cagey about guys seeing them also due to potentially catching it from those guys. So everyone will be cagey about each other.

The only possible way for WGs to, therefore, entice cagey punters is to drop prices and offer deals. However, if they drop prices, they are putting themselves at huge increase risk of seeing someone with the disease and catching it themselves simply due to footfall.

I really do therefore suspect what the sensible WGs will do is realize the longer bookings are the best safety to money earning potential and offer incredibly cheap longer bookings. I say this as if they just do the rinse repeat 30mins ones, they are going to spend so much time cleaning and the panic of will guy number 3 have it, or guy number 6 have it in a days work. So they will want to see as little punters as possible but still want to bring in some money. They will also want to discourage shorter bookings so will likely up those prices.

So I really do think what may happen is, the shorter booking time prices will go up. But you will be able to pay £300 for an overnighter. To make one guy give them enough money for a days work and make it much less likely they will catch something as all they've seen to get that money is, one guy.

Personally speaking, I really hope that happens too.

*Edit* And thinking further, if they did the longer overnighters, and all they seen was one guy in a shift, all they'd need to do is bring a digital thermometer with them to check the punter out at the start of the booking to make sure he is not displaying symptoms.

Anth, if this was in off topic I would point out how flawed you theory is, unfortunately, as it relates to coronavirus, this isn't the part of the site for me to do that.

When this is over you'll feel like a new man ... or woman. Not judging 

[northface]

Anth you are overthinking it by a mile.
You are taking it to the nth degree.
You are giving a new meaning to speculation.

Its all irrelevant as it will be what it will be despite all the novels written about it.

You can take all the precautions and still get it.
Worrying does not make it better or easier so why bother.

Its just another layer to the pitfalls of punting so just accept it and punt if you want to.
Why should anyone care if you do.

[AnthG]

Anth you are overthinking it by a mile.

That is the story of my life though. On everything.

I do think though to say it again in one sentence. WGs trying to entice longer bookings from one punter would be a much better and safer option than trying to get as many 30min bookings as they can from a stream of punters, that is until a vaccine comes out.

But I also accept, I may be wrong on that given I haven't studied the infectivity process of the virus that much. But it just seems logical to me. As in less punters, less chances any of them could be infected.

I thought the whole point of a pandemic was that if someone catches it they'll almost certainly give it to someone else? And so on. And so on.

So yes, people do care.

I think you're actually right in your theory about WGs doing overnighters with many fewer people, and it being statistically safer. That's basic logic.

But do you know what a WG does when she's not with you? No.

And do you know who she's doing it with, and how often she's doing it? No.

But that is my point in the other brainstorming topic. There are WGs out there that are sensible enough to not be gangbanging all and sundry and not shoving stuff up their noses and going to bars and picking up random guys and whatnot.

They will be the safest to book. (If Durham Lad was here, he'd likely be posting now saying, nope you're wrong Anth, completely wrong). But this is what I have seemingly convinced myself to think.

But I think everyone in the region has an idea of sensible / down to earth girls. As in not party girls, not flakey girls. Girls who would be as worried and OCD about catching it as any sane punter would. They would be much safer to book when the lockdown ends. but then again, they may not even come back to work. But they're AW accounts are still open so I don't know.

Some of the most "sensible" girls I can think of have still caught chlamydia or gonorrhea because disease doesn't respect IQ.  They can catch the virus the same as the rest of us.   It's a numbers game, so theoretically fewer, longer booking are better than a day of half hour quickies.  It still just takes one punter with Covid to kiss the escort you kiss, and before you know it you're on a graph on the news.

This might depend how their prices differ!

One of the known sensible girls of the region on her AW page has this on there.

I take my sexual health very seriously and have swabs every fortnight with bloods every 3 months. I have never caught anything from this business.

And I don't think that is a lie too. If I am going to risk punting in a month or two's time when a deadly disease is going about. That's the sort of girl I want to see. As opposed to, 'I just do this from one day to the next whenever I can feel bothered and my cash is low'.

And no, I am not naming the girl as that would render it pointless as everyone else would book too.

Oddly enough I know exactly who you mean, because I'm a fan myself.  I don't doubt her for a minute, and even if I did I'd be too scared to say it anyway! 

There is an element of luck  - good or bad - with all of this though.  We're straying off the prices subject in to dodgy territory though.

What if she works in Gateshead? I'm happier to drive there than you?

Have you noticed with me though. I won't risk driving to Gateshead.

But I will risk punting when there is a killer disease going about.

That just shows you how dangerous driving to Gateshead truly is. (Or maybe how back to front I am)....

I'm guessing the girl was just referring to sti in the second quote. If she wasn't I'd give her a swerve.
