Curious about the Economics of Sex and would like to get community feedback.

A heterosexual community can be analyzed as a marketplace in which men seek to acquire sex from women by offering other resources in exchange. Societies will therefore define gender roles as if women are sellers and men buyers of sex. Societies will endow female sexuality, but not male sexuality, with value.

One interesting theory is based on Supply and Demand of Sex. A man will typically spend lowest amount possible within reason to acquire sex. There are exceptions of course based on perceived value.

Has anyone noticed the escort cost per hour has increased 2x over the past 12-24 months for the same service and same quality girl.

Why is that? I assume it cannot all be inflation based. Feedback and Thoughts?

People are twice as horny as they were 24 months ago because of all the madness in the world right now.
Exactly. In fact I think REM wrote a song about it…

It's the end of the world as we know it
It's the end of the world as we know it
It's the end of the world as we know it
And I feel horny

The human condition has been in a state of flux since we rose up onto two legs.
Why anyone should feel stress about change is beyond me.
If ya' all wanna fuck, then just fuck. Let's not try to analyze it!

Interesting thread which caught my attention.
First is ofcourse the demand becomes higher with world going up side down, either drugs or sex can give a feeling to forget everything else for some time. It was quite evident while covid time. In demand things are always higher in price.

Second, sex providers have lot many other expenses, not just maintenance and safety of their bodies, such as rentals for incalls, supplies like lube, condom, boric acid wash etc , increased pimps or agency cut and many more. As everything going up in prices, reflects there also. However I believe the body enhancements should not reflect in price, thats a pure personal choice.

I think its little bit different than a candidate of a locked thread. Its not talking about price of an individual but in general why it increases. But yeah, as soon this thread is injected with a real example on pricing, it will be like those threads :)

It does because of finances, if there is risk of loosing job or business due to competition AI, tariffs etc you wouldnt throw money to fuck but save for worse. If I have tap open from daddy's money, I wouldnt care though ;)

Somehow people never mention the ever increasing costs of living for pooners, but only for SPs. :rolleyes:
That’s because the price isn’t going up, the value of the dollar is going down. Have you seen the price of gold, silver and groceries lately

In what way does it not affect pooners wallets?
Just saying that the price of everything has practically doubled in the last few years. I doubt that most people’s income has except for those who can set their own prices. The prices will always rise to the edge of what the market will bear. Not much more than five years ago the amp’s were around $140 hr. Gold was about $3000. Oz. CAD. Check the ratio today. Your dollar is losing value

I have been here for years but only have posted recently - my apologies

It is correct that the world has gone mental. Completely. the 90's were just paradise compared to this garbage we are going through now. My mental health is taking a real beating over the past 5 years . If i was not seeing providers ,my mental state would be 10x worse that it is now. Sex and intimacy is a HUMAN RIGHT( of course it has to be consensual and must never ever has to to be obtained by force, coercion, or violence of any kind !!) And this goes for both men and women.

As for prices , yes , i do remember 2016-2019 where you could go see somebody for $300 that would be double now. The good old days. The old normal will never come back.

Pandemics may cause more economic harm than you think. I was reading an article back in 2009 ( when we had the Swine Flu) , saying it we had a pandemic on par with Spanish Flu in 1918, " major economic, social upheaval would occur" . And voila, it has happened. Don't get me wrong , a lot of people died or we left damanged by COVID. But the effect on our overall society above and beyond the medical issues was even more profound. We have never locked down the way we did in 2020 in ancient or modern history. And we had no time to prepare , it had to be done in a matter of weeks, if not even days. If governments did not print $$$ like it was going out of style , the world economy would have collapsed within weeks.

Its MacroEconomics 101 you learn that the more money that is put in circulation and money is printed, higher inflation will eventually be . And without a proportionate increase in wages, we have increased inequality, more despair, more struggle, and more mental health issues. Considering what happened last April at the Lapu Lapu festival ,and recently in Tumbler Ridge i would be very worried.

Of course, there are rich folks who have no issues at the moment to hire a provider for a FTMY and spend tens of thousands of dollars for a week of fun and pleasure.

I tend to see providers that are "middle class" friendly and have no issues with offering 1hr sessions. The middle class is what built this country. NOT the rich. It kind of peeves me when they offer 1hr sessions and then they state they prefer longer sessions and sometimes put " minimum time" . I call that a bit extortion in my books. If you don't like 1hr sessions or you would rather do longer sessions ( which is in a providers right to do" DON'T ADVERTISE IT. It is like going to Best Buy and buying a TV for $1000 on sale , but the salesperson ( on commission) tells you he would rather you pay $1800 !!!!!!!. I bet that when " crap" hits the fan with all that is happening south of the border and 1929 part deux happens,( when the dollar loses its reserve currency) providers will be begging on their knees ( no pun intended) and coveting their 1- 1.5 hour sessions likes their livelihoods depend on it.

Don't get me wrong , a provider has the right to set her rates as how she sees fit.

And also , a "dating culture" that just makes me want to vomit, women that are way way too picky, everybody looking for the "one" , its is plain just supply and demand. Too many women around " i am not settling for anything less than everything " mentality. Well, look on the bright side. Keeps providers in business. If we had a " dating culture" lest say in Brazil, Asia, Mexico, etc, maybe the escort business would dry up a bit. I thank every provider i have been with ( rarely had a bad experience since i regularly check reviews!) to keep me semi-sane the past 5 years. I don't want to name names but you are wonderful people who do a great service. BRAVO!!!!

Basic needs for a society to function properly

1. Shelter
2. Food
3.Job/Career
4. Health Care
5. Companionship, intimacy, love.



Its Valentines Day, i am pissed off with being single and i am done ranting for the day.

My two cents worth is that the demand for sex is inelastic. That means that if prices go up by 20% you would expect demand to drop by 20%. However my guess would be that demand might only drop say 1% for a price increase of 20% making for inelastic demand.

The reasons for inelastic demand could ne that a significant portion of pooners have lots of extra disposable income so price doesn't matter to them. Second reason could be that sex is a basic human motivation so you are fighting against that basic human urge. So you will spend money to seek it out. Third I'd say that there is a fair amount of sex addiction where pooners get the dopamine going with the anticipation of seeing to see a sw. So they will spend on that addiction if they don't necessarily have the extra income to support the habit.

Ad far as dating culture goes. These days you can go out for dinner and drinks with a date and hope you get laid. Instead for that same money go see the SW of your choice and get a guaranteed fuck...just my two cents.

The state of love in America: Not looking good.

Young men are voluntarily checking out of the dating scene and women are desperately searching Home Depot for husbands.


With free-spending governments the best place to look for mates would be in any government job. In Canada where a woman can meet little or no push back for soliciting sex, the cops pulling down $122K per year would be her most interesting source of eligible males. People don't seem to understand men have to compete against government largesse these days and get made fun of for not being successful.

Happy Valentines Day.
