Is £200 an hour the new norm

[serg21]

I was scrolling through the local escorts on aw yesterday, and it's amazing how many girls are charging £200 an hour. Chelsea brook has increased her hourly rate to 200 are girls pricing there selves out, personally i think it's getting ridiculous.

[bdyno]

It is ridiculous.
Personally I'm punting significantly less as a result, so with the price increases they're pushing customers away and probably actually earning less as a result.  Unfortunately that probably means they'll put their charges up further to make up for lost earnings rather than doing the sensible thing and putting prices back down to more acceptable levels.

And I should point out that my decision to punt less is a decision, not a financial need.  If I wanted to I could pay they ridiculous prices a lot of girls are asking now, but I refuse to.  There is a limit to how much any fuck is worth, and many girls have gone beyond that point in the past year or so.

[serg21]

Some good points there mate, if everyone voted with there feet they would get the message.

[King Kenny]

Just take a look at the CPI rates.

In Jan 2020 the index was 109.3. In Jan 24 the index was 130.0. That means £200 today has the same buying power as £168 did 4 years ago.

It never ceases to amaze me how some posters (not necessarily you OP) are up in arms that prices go up and think they're being ripped off when the cost of a HJ at a rub and tug place goes up to £30. Prices have doubled sine 2002. I'm pretty sure that they were charging £20 for a HJ back then too.

[OakTree]

If I do a search of a 30 mile radius of my location with a £200 per hour upwards I get 209 profiles.

If I put a max of £170 I get 835 profiles.

Plenty still out there less than 200 per hour.

Ten years ago I was paying about 160 to 170 an hour. When you look at it like that it’s not that big a jump.

£200 per hour has long (2019) been how I've set my yearly punting budget £200 X 46 weeks (even I need a rest) The weeks I don't punt allow me to spend a bit more or have a massive blowout at year end.

[Iloveoral]

We’ve got a hundred thread on prices already on here, I’m sure we don’t need another.

The answer, like everything else we buy, if your not happy with the price, don’t pay it, there’s other options.

[marc_hotsteppa]

Depends how long you want to book for as some SP's charge a higher rate for shorter bookings.

So an hour might be £180-220 but 2 hours could well be £250-300 so you can get better value with a longer booking.

Again though as IloveOral has said, another price thread

Every time some idiot starts a thread like this, some girls think it's true and rack their prices up as a result.
It's a bloody self-fulfilling prophesy: every time the topic is raised, the prices raise. FFS think before you post.

And FFS is your user name short for "Sergei"?

To answer your question. NO the new norm is not £200 an hour. I have been seeing lot's of girls charging £100 for an hour in London. So shouldn't expect higher further north.
Those girls will have quiet phones

[Bustydusty]

No my norm is around £100 for 45 minutes all inclusive and i see loads of good SP’s

The issue is, the people who pay the working girls, don't have their wages going up in line with inflation.

£168 from 4 years ago costing £200 today is all fine in isolation, but that's not the only thing rising in price and the wages have not kept up.

There are popular and successfjl escorts like Lilith Noir who have actually done a price cut and that's probably led to increased business as she would have basically eliminated a lot of her competition by doing that, she's always been business savvy and she probably saw an opportunity there when everyone else was raising their price.


On the other hand there used to be a girl based in Manchester who used to charge £200 an hour in 2020, but that went up to £350 an hour in 2021 until she eventually moved to London and started charging £400 an hour. She likely doesn't get as much business since London is cutthroat intnerms of competition, but since she charges that high she probably has found a niche. But not everyone can have that. Especially up north here in Liverpool, where competition is low you'd get far more people not going for a punt because of the price rather than not going for a girl because they have other alternatives. Those people will definitely start seeing the girl if the price was more £180 rather than £200. Basically, up north here despite lower competition, you'll have a worse business at £200 than you would at £180.

[Willnotts]

Does your petrol cost the same as it did 5 years ago?

Cost of living, girls need more money

[Cryton123]

I’m pretty sure working girls have the same ‘cost of living’ issues as the rest of us 

Their food bills have risen the same as everyone else’s, as has their utility bills, car insurance & rent/mortgages. So why should they keep their prices stagnant and be worse off? To satisfy punters who want to fuck them on the cheap?

If that’s your thinking, you’re completely deluded.

Like many have said, if you don’t like the price don’t pay. Coming on here whining because a fuck costs you more than 5 years ago is laughable 

[Blackpool Rock]

Actually petrol is currently about the same price as it was 10 years ago and it's cheaper than it was 18 months ago 

We all understand that overall prices rise over time but I think the OP's point is that they have gone up a lot recently on top of an already high price
Yes girls have bills which have gone up however so do punters and as pointed out some savvy girls may choose to hold or slightly reduce their rates to make sure they are still busy and earning.

Others will as also pointed out raise their price and lose money due to less bookings so put their price up again to compensate, judging by many of the comments on here the girls will feel justified doing as so many members seem to not only accept it but openly endorse it 

Those posting that price increases are OK should perhaps question why a parlour punt is cheaper than an AW punt especially bearing in mind that the parlour is taking a fair chink of the girls money, they should also remember the site ethos which is to benefit punters not providers

I think it's an important part of punting, just like you might regularly discuss the price of beer, and I don't see a problem with lots of pricing threads.
I'm always drawn to them, sometimes they go over old ground, but more often that not, they're worth reading.

In principle, I agree.  They should be entitled to a fair price increase to cover their costs.

In reality, you're defending girls who have given themselves a 25% (and often more) pay rise in the past year which is more than double the rate of inflation.  Their costs haven't gone up that much, they just got greedy. 

And they're often sneaking in more extra charges as well, but that's a whole extra topic of conversation.

Indeed I’d never heard of extra charges in my first decade punting

That's the thing mate you're right most people are not on £200 an hour it's just pure greed.

What do you think is an acceptable average price per hour?

[serg21]

£160 if that's not enough for someone to live on i don't know what is.

[SonofAJohn]

£160 if that's not enough for someone to live on i don't know what is.

£100 per hour, approx 9 times minimum wage.
Even then, that is a lot and 1 hour is a long time with an escort if she is doing her job properly.

[Deepstroker]

Prices up , quality down . Pretty much why I can’t be bothered with it anymore . You could be gambling a lump of money on crap service .

I think that's the main problem in that many punters need to work a full day for a 30 minute or hour punt these days but you turn up and the service is shit 

[SonofAJohn]

Then start demanding your money back. Punters shouldn't accept trash service.

Get real that’s never going to happen. What punter is going to cause a scene or risk a dodgy confrontation and anyway one thing they never do is give back the money.

It’s far more effective to review them on here. It might not get the individuals money back but hopefully it will deter punters from seeing them and therefore hit them in the pocket in the longer run.

Easier said than done though isn't it, once you've parted with the money you may as well consider it gone.

If i've paid £70 or £80/hh and at least got my rocks off then it's not a total loss but to pay £100 or £120/hh and the service be shit is a different story
The best way is not to part with the money to begin with so don't book girls who are over your theoretical rate (which I guess has been pointed out) or to walk if the girl is a B&S and you don't fancy her etc
The best thing we can do is to review on here and flag poor service

I demand money back if I am not happy and want to end sessions early. I have always got money back when demanding it. If you are afraid of confrontation then you are not weighing up all the risks involved in this thing. Things can go wrong at any moment and you need to be prepared to defend yourself. Bad service isn't acceptable.

I’m not afraid of confrontation one little bit and I’m always ready to defend myself thanks but I’m going there for a fuck not a fight. In all the years of punting I might have had some shit punts but none have provoked me into a situation where it has become confrontational. If it’s poor service I deal with it on here. That way everyone on here is made aware of the SP and her poor service.

What are you going to do if she decides to call the police? What if she’s got your car reg number? She’s got your phone number even if it is a throw away number, it’s traceable.

If that’s how you want to deal with it that’s your business but it can turn into one big clusterfuck if she’s as adamant as you on who keeps the money.

[TomTank]

£160 if that's not enough for someone to live on i don't know what is.

I agree that should be the top price, but it depends on the girl.
A girl that has a unique look or service should be more than that e.g. an absolute babe, beautiful ink work and/or slim and tall, or a dominatrix with an incredible dungeon and reputation. Or an incredible looking TS with a great service.
But only a few should be charging more than £160

I can accept a few unique ones to be £200 per hour, but I've seen some way above that, quite a few at £300 an hour, and some even more .... which pisses me off .
And then you see standard girls, good service, who used to be value £100 an hour have upped their prices to £160 to £200 - a 60-100% increase.

I realise it's up to them to manage their price/volume/revenue equation, but there's a cost of living crisis .... surely they are making less in total due to the reduction in punters?

If she calls the police then that's okay. I will wait for them to arrive because like I said, I demand money back when the service is poor. I don't kick up a fuss unless it is 100% justified. So she won't gain anything calling the police.

I suspect with many SP's, police are the least of your worries.  Many are likely to have their own arrangements regarding security.

[Iloveoral]

That as well 

[SonofAJohn]

Yes, I have met some of these security personnel SPs use. Not all are intimidating. I noticed the problematic girls I have met. They threaten with security but never actually call them. Which I suspect is because most security personnel don't want to work with problematic girls. Never met a big guy, covered in tattoos asking "Is there a problem here?"

[bdyno]

Fortunately I've never met them, I just assume they exist!

[Rack Admirer]

Depends how long you want to book for as some SP's charge a higher rate for shorter bookings.

So an hour might be £180-220 but 2 hours could well be £250-300 so you can get better value with a longer booking.

Most punters will burst 30 to 45 mins into the booking, so unless they reload quickly, the second hour is an easy one for the WG. I usually book 30 mins or an hour for that reason, although I'm not punting ATM.

[Rack Admirer]

Prices up , quality down . Pretty much why I can’t be bothered with it anymore . You could be gambling a lump of money on crap service .

I agree with the above. Sadly, it's not just punting. It also applies to many other types of service (and goods) these days.

[Rack Admirer]

Coming on here whining because a fuck costs you more than 5 years ago is laughable 

If the calibre of crumpet was high and the service received was top notch then there would be far fewer moaners. Trouble is, there is a dearth of good quality WGs these days. AW is an absolute lottery and most remaining parlours are pretty crap.

[Atlas1957]

There’s a reason I don’t drive a Ferrari, price

I think it is a good analogy and to carry it further I do wonder if at some point in the future the forum will become stratified between Ford Fiesta punters and Ferrari punters.

As in, I find reviews of WGs that charge £100 for 30 minutes (or even 15 minutes ) or WGs that charge £300 for 60 minutes useless to me. I'm not interested which Ferrari is fastest.

But someone who does spend that much, might equally find my reviews of WGs that charge £100 for 60 minutes useless. They just aren't interested which Ford Fiesta has the least rust.

And sure, occasionally I might want to think about doing a Ferrari track day, so having those reviews available but not cluttering up the Fiesta reviews I want to see, seems worthwhile.

[mrwhite]

£160 if that's not enough for someone to live on i don't know what is.

If they earned £160ph for 8 hours a day 5 or 6 days a week then yes, however, some will need a week to 10 days off for their period (some, not all!)

Others might only see 1 or 2 clients a day.  I know one SP who only does a few hours a day between 10 and 2 (which fits in around school drop of and collection times) for 3 days a week.

All of a sudden that £160ph when averaged over a whole week becomes a more 'normal' salary.

[advent2016]

Years ago I drove an Ariel atom on a track day. These days they'd need a crane and lots of lube to get me in and out. Same goes for most supercars

[TomTank]

There’s a reason I don’t drive a Ferrari, price
Simple as that 

and when you go looking on autotrader you find lots of cars you like, from Skodas to Fords to BMW, Audi, and Mercedes.

What the punting world is offering now is
- quite a few Ferraris at Bugatti prices
- loads of BMW / Mercedes at Ferrari prices
- quite a few Fords at Mercedes prices
- car supermarkets selling old reliable skodas reasonably fairly priced, but they won't let you buy the car without signing up to expensive warranties, mud flaps, leather seats .... if you refuse any of that the least you get away with is a tenner for the car radio

[Deepstroker]

My top line is 120 h /60hh . It’s far more than I get paid and it’s partly the reason why I haven’t shagged an escort for some time . I’m not bothered anyway . A good home edging session is free of charge and then there’s always your wife/partner/occasional hookup .

[Quickymonster]

Personally my top line is £80 for hh, don't tend to do hour punts unless it's a massage with HE. If it goes to a ton I'm out.
