I wonder how todays’s rising interest rates and looming recession will affect the sex trade. Will we see more SWs enter the market for extra income? More scams? Price changes? Fewer pooners? What’s your prognostication? How are you affected?

I’d particularly like to hear from pooners who lived through this in 2008.

Peace!

There were less pooners, less money, and more competition in 2008, so I found prices dropped, and sps provided better service to keep customers.

Ah the sex trade.
Scamming aside as scamming back in the day was a lot more in your face so to speak.
Be it in this decade, the one just past, the one before that, and before that and so on.
My experience is there were, are and will be SP's and civilian women alike available for pooning.
The looks change, prices change, the places we poon in change but great sex is great sex and it will always be there.
And that is about all I have to say on that topic!
cheers, MPH

I agree. During that recession, prices dropped and some indies offered discounts from their usual prices. From my experience, service levels were, in general, better in 2008 than now. But that's a whole other thread LOL.

It was around that time that I was doing this, but never heard of perb or other review boards at the time yet. The classic CL ads, and when touring girls came this way it was usually a good thing and not some someone from Montreal and her pimp.

Yup, service quality has tanked, prices skyrocketed, maybe its a sign for me to quit, and find a long term girlfriend.
You can't quit :sneaky:

This city, the girls, they need you lol

Unless you mean the long term GF to be a regular GFE :unsure::geek::ROFLMAO:

but jokes aside, yeah pricing and everything just rising so maybe history will repeat itself

Sps GFE, isn't even GFE anymore it seems. God I am getting old. GFE used to mean that anything and everything was offered, and the sps were happy to offer it with a smile, and saying THANK YOU!

During the 2008 recession, I remember, not all, but some ladies offered weekly and monthly specials, discounts after a certain amount of visits etc. AND...some ladies would private message you some deals they were offering. Yes, I, personally, have had that happen. But, back then, different times and things seemed to be much more relaxed and easy going. Today, some seem so " snarky " with an attitude and in some cases, not so " board social friendly " . More on edge I would say. Maybe those are today's times that we're in. Who knows. Anyway.....

Anyone on here who was here in that time would relate.

Back when rent was$700/month and gas was under a buck a liter. Good times. An hour with an sp could be as low as $130/ hr. I saw one beautiful blonde on the Gorge for $130, she looked like Dorothy Stratton, she was a gem 💎

Where were you to get such shitty service?

I was living in PG, Rikki from BOA still lived up here to, and she always had an amazing line up of ladies to choose from. Great service, everything was above board, no bait and switch, no fake pics, no extra charges, reasonable rates, she had a couple of houses to choose to go to, and she herself was nice to tslk to. Sat on her couch drinking a pepsi with her, shooting the breeze.
If I was there before the sp Rikki would just tell me the door code, and i let myself in, sat and relaxed, read a magazine for a bit. The good old days, and not once was I told no DFK, no swallowing, no msog, never asked if i was going to cum soon, or a single word of complaint.

Victoria, early 90s, Nanaimo late 80s,Vancouver early 80s. Different pooning world back then. Probably 95% of the women didn't even kiss back then. First girl that ever DFKd me was a blonde girl named Savanna,she use to advertise in Monday magazine, working for an agency up on Quadra and MacKenzie. Think the agency was English Rose? Back then,bbbj was unheard of.

Rikki is outstanding. Just a great lady and business woman. It was really a sad day when BOA Victoria closed down.

That she is.

We have had some long text chats as well.
The world needs a lot more people like Rikki.
When she shut down BOA in PG, pooning went to hell there. Before closing BOA, I would dare say we had about the best girls and agency of anywhere.

This is gonna be worse, sorry guys.
Not as fast as 2008, but longer and more painful.
Keep at least half your money at home.

Some people were smart and saved...others tried to live well above their means, and are deep in debt because they bought shit they really didn't need. Maybe Karma will finally teach a few a little lesson.

I was always taught to save some money for rainy days and live within my means at a very young age. But people now likes to show off on social media even though they can't afford it.
