Hats off to Vegas for at least getting some action happening on this board. I was beginning to think everyone had retired.

I'm quoting the original post because I think we've gotten off target. Vegas was bemoaning the limitation of CBJ when paying premium prices.
Now me, I'm all about the BBBJCIMNQNS, but I can understand that for the guys who really dig intercourse, pounding away on super model pussy, multiple positions and MSOG, is certainly worth the money and they see the CBJ as just a vehicle to the next hard on, not the main event. And that's cool.
And you ladies who are being defensive and trying to justifiy your costs, don't waste your time. You're all top of line and earn every dime you get. We thank you and appreciate that you keep your rates blue collar friendly and give all of us a chance to experience a first class sex worker.
You bitches rock! Nothin' but love for ya. Originally Posted by pssymnchr2

*thumbs up* ... also investment looks about right minus 200-300 in my case tho.
DSM loved it and while it's not Vegas it ain't that cheap haha.

Just a couple thoughts.....

When touring you have to factor in the ENTIRE cost of your trip and fix your rates accordingly to make the trip worth your while. Airfare, gas, hotels, ect. Hotels rates are higher in the DSM area than they were just a year ago. Airfare is higher also.
A touring girl arrives in the hole to start her trip. For example a recent trip I took to a similar size town as DSM. $300/airfare, $150/night x 4 for hotel, $200 for food, drink and incidentals = $1,100 I need to make before I start to make a profit.
Of course, one's rates need to be raised to absorb these expenses. I find when touring, most of my calls are incall. I leave a min of an hour between sessions, I have to see more people in a day than at home to make the trip worthwhile and I have to keep exposure in the hotel down. Rates just have to be higher when touring, yet still reasonable.

Anyhoo, I do NOT raise my rates when in Iowa as I have many regular clients here and do not have to rely on all new business. I actually offer discounted sessions often so I can meet new gents that will hopefully become regulars. This approach seems to work better for me in Iowa given the type of sessions I offer and that Iowa is a second 'home base' for me.

Just thought I would make a couple points for thought! To each their own!!

So you all have to think of that, ALTHOUGH I do agree 200-300 for hh and 400-500 for an hour is crazy and nooooooooo pussy is that golden sorry just being honest

One thing bothering me about some of the ladies responses. Why are you pointing out the cost of your room? You still have the same room cost unless you only offer outcall or entertain at your private residence when you're home. So in response to JK's post specifically she could subtract $600 from her costs, which is over half of her $1100 total expense!
Whining is NOT attractive! Nor is exaggerating to try to make your point. Couldn't keep quiet any longer about this.
I agree ladies can charge ANYTHING they want. The point I was making is there's a general price range here, which is different from Vegas for example. Although there are some ladies in Vegas that are both attractive & offer more open menus whose donation would also be acceptable here e.g. Laticia uses the same donation in Vegas & here. It seems most guys prefer BBBJ vs CBJ. I just don't see how a lady can visit here with a higher than normal donation, not offer BBBJ, & be successful here. I guess I was basically questioning what makes them decide to visit & whether any thought went into that decision?
I don't want ladies to visit & not have a great visit. If they do, they may discourage someone else from visiting (that has a more reasonable donation vs services) that might have a great time visiting here. Does that make sense?
Sorry for venting a bit but couldn't bite my tongue any longer. Room expense is a constant for most ladies wherever they're at home or touring. Get over it or find a different line of work.
In business wise like a pawn shop or what have you, you want to come up on top.
In my business even through I truly enjoy what I do if I didnt have extra money after covering my rent and bills and life necessities to enjoy my self with other nice things I wouldnt choose to do this.
I am not trying to spend money to travel if I dont feel I am making a profit.
I do understand what your saying though about the pricing and yet menu sometimes sucks.

When I travel I usually increase my rate by $20.00 to cover my expenses. If I do you use a hotel were I live I don't have to worry about gas and food, because I am close to home and don't have to drive 200 miles and can eat at home.

I understand you ladies need to make a profit. Short & sweet was just saying room expense is constant whether home or touring. Don't like it when ladies try to say room expense is "extra" when they tour. For most it isn't an extra expense

I get what you're saying Vegas, plus hotel rooms here are USUALLY cheaper than they are in the larger metro areas these ladies are traveling from. But again, the lady can charge whatever she likes, but when I see a substancial upcharge from her normal rate, I usually pass on her

Agreed. In fact I generally schedule around lunch or dinner time & offer lunch or dinner b4 or after (off the clock) assuming their schedule allows. Only had one take me up so far.

While at home I have a private incall so therefore I have no expense. Also, I am very low volume. I never like to see more than 3 people a day at anytime and that is a lot for me. When I travel I may see a few more but depends on the type of appt it is.
I always say the first client that I see when traveling is a non - profit client, it pays my travel costs.

Not here in Lincoln and Omaha. Most of us reviewed, local ladies have private incalls.
