Idiot talking up prices again.
I know not one WG who bases her rates on what folk are saying on here. Maybe back in the days of Tontober, but not now. Most of us have had to increase our rates because our own expenses increased dramatically in the last year. I kept my rates the same for the best part of a decade, but had to increase them this year because if I didn't I wouldn't be earning enough for it to be worth selling something as intimate as sex for a living.
If men can afford it and want to pay it, then great. And if they can't then we either take less bookings, or hang up our stockings if it isn't profitable enough to be worth the sacrifices we have to make to do the job.
What we do not do, is lower our rates below what we are happy to do this kind of work for. And I can promise you, no WG is reading this thread and considering hiking her prices upwards either. Most of us didn't want to, but
had to. Raising your rates is scary shit because you know you'll lose at least 1 or 2 of your clients when you do.
(The only other alternative is taking more bookings, but there's only so many times you can have sex with strangers in one week before you start suffering physically and mentally for it - your own body prevents you from overdoing it.)
