Thank you, I definitely enjoy the time I get to spend with my clients (some I definitely hate having a time limit with
)

As others have stated, it is microeconomics 101. WL are dealing with scarcity. Couple these theories with Porters Stuck in the Middle and it’s clear ladies that charge a high price and get clients are going to do well in their market.
I use the analogy of buying a watch.
Go to any jewellery store in a Perth Shopping centre. You can buy a Tissot, Seiko, Tag immediately and likely you’ll negotiate a discount. Go to a couple of select stores and you can buy an Omega, Longines, Montblanc.
Want a Rolex, IWC, Patek. You’ll pay and you will wait. Wait times in Perth for a new Rolex is around 9 months.
Is the shop selling the Rolex ripping anyone off?
No, they sell them for their retail price.
Should I feel bad because when I bought my last watch 2 months ago I could only afford to buy a $8,000 Omega and not a $20,000 Rolex.
I am however luckier than many folk in Perth (and around the world right now) that I had spare cash to spend on a luxury (and telling the time is a necessity

They are incredibly dumb watches, they only show time and a couple time and date!
Not much difference really,
I don't find what you say funny, as such.What do you find that funny .
Why do you find this funny Promma? It is true especially if you have regulars.
I have to agree there is a degree to which one should be humble and not flaunt ones " good fortune" not everyone is equal . However keeping on topic , at the end of the day you pay for what is within your budget . Personally I feel a WL/SW should charge what they feel is reasonable and what they believe they are worth. There is certainly a plentiful market with a range of prices .
Agree with what you said.
Totally agree with you Jebradio , however I would not assume all WL are the same and complain about “ punters being tight” . People pay what they are able and willing to pay. Punters always have a choice on who they see and what they will pay. Any worker trying to “ bully “ a client into paying more is not worth the drama .
To many big words, can you please simply this. Thanks
I was just saying that everyone has different perspectives on what they consider to be good value for money. The price a WL sets is based on her/his perception of the value of their time, company and intimacy, that will vary from WL to WL. Where as a punter will place a value (to them) on the service that a WL lady provides. If the punter has the disposable income and percieves the service that the particular WL provides is value for money, then they will happily pay for the service. If the punter does not place the same value on the service as the WL lady does, then they probably wont engage the service of that particular WL.
Precisely my point, it all depends on the value you place on the service, which will be different for everyone.
Realy, I suppose some of you points are right But I do not agree with all.
I am not surprised, our perspectives on what is a fair market price come from a different place, which only demonstrates my point, that a fair market price will vary from person to person
100%
That would only push the pricing up even further sadly. In my everyday job, I have 2 clients that are funded via NDIS. The rate is double what I charge normally. Way too many appalling service providers scamming the system. The most vulnerable need to be protected and I personally don't see adding the adult industry to approved providers as a positive thing.
What part are you not understanding? NDIS providers, in general, milking it for all its worth? The reality is this funding is wildly being abused and the most vulnerable are being taken advantage of. Reporting dodgy service providers goes on deaf ears. If this was opened up to the sex industry it will spiral out of control very quickly. NDIS funding will not last forever and many people including families would not be able to fund therapy etc without it. As a society, we need to protect those who are most vulnerable. NDIS set a maximum rate for services covered by their funding. Those rates are well above the standard rate for that particular service. If we add the large proportion of substance issues, gambling, and mental health issues in the sex industry. Then you have a recipe for disaster IMO. As for my comment on the USA, I would encourage you, to educate yourself on the real issues. Europe is facing an extremely freezing cold winter and power outages. The financial crash is a global issue. Not just limited to Australia. We are seeing financial institutions in several countries, taking people's savings and denying them access to their own money. We are heading for a depression and luxury items like us ladies will be impacted. So I am sorry sweetheart, I am the wrong person to be pulling the Seriously?? with. Educating ourselves on world issues and those affecting our economy so we are better prepared with the shit hits the fan. I made my money a long time ago and set myself up to be in a stable position. Having skills, training, and education outside of this industry is often overlooked. The same with sound financial knowledge and guidance. The 5k plus weekly income doesn't last forever. And at what expense to our body and mental health? This is not an easy industry, and one needs to be extremely strong-minded to cope. I have seen so many women enter this industry clean. Then turn to drugs etc as a way of coping. The market will decide if prices are too high. And how a lady values herself, will play a large part in her pricing. Those with high self-esteem and confidence in their ability will have a higher fee in many cases. Those with substance issues and more desperate for money will be often the lower end of the scale fee-wise.
Ill take it!
