I was not speaking about service as items on a menu. I was speaking about the total package. What defines HDH? You want an "experience" of one sort or another. I guess some just want companionship. Others want a fantastic and memorable erotic experience and others want everything. I feel you can get your "experience" for a reasonable donation short of thousands. There are con artists in every field who feel that by charging lots of money, they can pass themselves off as the best. Now some HDH may be the best and combine everything you want in a special experience but I am still left with the feeling that many just charge a lot and do not give value in return.

I think we would all agree that while price can equal quality, that is not always the case. The reason is simple. There is a huge difference between "price" and "value." Price does not always equate to the value that the consumer desires. Perception is the key. Quality really resides in perceived value.
The "perception" is that women charging lower end of the market are looking to make it up in volume. And again the "perception" is that they aren't really selective about who they see so long as there is compensation involved. This same perception applies to the gentlemen as well. The "perception" is that the gentlemen who are looking for low cost providers aren't really selective about who they see, so long as there is some sort of physical stimulation involved. To be crass, the "perception" is that they are looking for someone who would act as a masturbatory aid. I know it is not always the case. But that is the common perception.
I wrote this in reply to another post here before. I chose to limit the pool of potential client population by the mechanism of the higher price. I know there are many different and more effective ways of being selective; however, the price seemed to be the simplest way of doing so. To me, the higher price, hence the limited number of encounters are advantageous from strictly the safely and health perspective. And I'm only speaking for myself here. But the "perception" of higher priced companions is that being a companion is a lifestyle that is adopted by choice. While dead presidents are part of it, the higher priced companion must receive a benefit similar to that of the gentlemen seeking higher priced companion where the dollars are largely irrelevant.
So really, what defines an HDH? I don't think it's definable since everyone's perception and perceived values are different.
