Don't fight, Wakeup and Dorian.

I like to imagine the two of you as a grand internet bromance. Don't ruin it for me.

This IS how we flirt with each other, or should we invite you over so you can have 1st hand knowledge Lauren?

The most striking trend our analysis reveals is a drop in the average hourly rate of a prostitute in recent years.

CD - I wasn't surveyed but I guess I am a standard deviation away from the norm. I met with a blond with big boobs one time sort of as a bucket list item but much prefer dark brown/black/auburn hair. Economically there are a lot if things recently that don't fit with normal economics. Based on the last 20 years, escort prices are now a bargain and I do think the internet explains that. I think it added a lot of supply at the mid to high end to meet demand that the internet opened up. In my business, a transaction a client paid $200 for 20 years ago could only be done with my help. Today they can do it themselves all day long online for nearly free. But some still pay me for service because, like you I imagine, I add value.
Things I learned from that article:

- Statistics are bullshit.

The only thing I learned from that article that actually interested me is that all the guys complaining about how high prices are getting don't realize how lucky they are compared to the prices of 2006. It will be interesting to see if the average price climbs back up to those numbers over the next few years. Enjoy those $200/hr prices while you can, loves. :P Originally Posted by CarolineDavenport

Based on the article i think is more like enjoy charging $400/ hr while you can get away with it.

Despite making the point that websites and message boards can make things safer for both provider and client, it should be noted that "American police sometimes use such sites to entrap prostitutes." Therefore, do your fucking screening! Originally Posted by yardbird74
And it also makes the point that where prostitution is illegal, the focus of screening has now become "make sure they're not a cop" than "make sure they're not crazy".

Things I learned from that article:

- I make less than I could as a blonde.
- I make less now that I'm a redhead as opposed to a brunette.
- I make less than someone with an advanced degree.
- I make less than ladies with fake breasts.
- Statistics are bullshit.

I also found the general trend of prices going down interesting, especially given how everyone likes to complain about prices.

Of course, you'll have localized price differences (maybe Texas prices really -are- higher because of the economy doing better here?), but the overall data is neat to see.

Used to? Awww, that makes me sad. I haven't been over there since 2010 though, so I suppose things do change. Originally Posted by GracePreston
