A big Irish welcome to all the new ladies, from the Spank Doctor.

Great post Spankers...
I'm the same as you, if a girl doesn't offer OWO included in the price then I won't see her. It's great to see competition finally happening here, unfortunately though there are still muppets who pander to the egos and greed of those escorts who think they can charge what they like.

I also have noticed some girls including anal in the price, which is a great trend.

As you say, numbers are increasing and business is slowing down for many escorts who do not as yet have a high profile/reputation. So I think we can expect many more special offers in the area of 100/200 Euro to be posted here.

However, as these escorts may be inundated with clients, they may not be able to deal with the demand they generate and clients will have to go back to more expensive escorts or wait. The whole process of reaching a new market level will therefore take time with many escorts holding out as long as they can at current prices. As anybody who knows any escorts well will tell you, very few if any actually enjoys this work. The name of the game is get as much money (as is necessary) for as little effort as possible. Each resident independent escort has a good idea of how much she/he needs to make per week to cover overheads and have the type of lifestyle they desire and/or how much they want to save or send home per week. If an escort is satisfied with 1500 Euro per week tax free, (2 half-hour clients for each of 5 days), then there is no incentive for her to do what she does'nt like doing in the first place, for more than 5 hours per week. The phone gets switched off or is not answered and clients are left wondering why they can never get an escort when they want one. A lot of escorts d'ont even bother working weekends because they make enough over the other 5 days. I personally have no objection to an escort making 1500 per week plus but for 5 hours work? I have seen escorts that I know well turn down clients offering less than the current market standard rate. So if you are waiting for a lower market rate to take effect, I fear this will be staunchly resisted by many for as long as possible. Only when escorts have difficulty paying their rent and bills, paying for their advert and purchasing food, might they consider lowering prices. However, even then, they could also choose to leave prices as they are and work more hours.

Clients collectively have a lot of economic power. However as this power is never collectively exercised, the sexual power which the escorts (operating as a price-fixing cartel) have over clients takes precedence. Nearly all new escorts to the market charge the going rate irrespective of their experience or quality of service and clients are left in a take it or leave it situation with only reviews as a guidance.

I can therefore suggest two radical options, which I believe will increase client bargaining power. Firstly, a self-imposed moratorium on punting for a period of no less than one month. This if successfull should have a fairly rapid and drastic effect on prices. However it requires a lot of willpower and restraint on the part of clients, something which by their very nature they d'ont possess. Option 2 involves clients going to genune touring escorts only for one month or longer, until the resident escorts through financial necessity reduce prices or leave the market. Once the resident's prices have reduced, the process is reversed and touring escorts are shunned until their prices come down to meet the resident's prices. As any history student will tell you, it's a classical example of divide and conquer.

I see no reason why this strategy cannot, if followed by all out there, get prices down to 75/150. The escorts will still make their 1500 plus per week; they will just have to work twice as much to make it. In fact escorts should make more money with lower prices. Demand will increase as new clients enter the market due to increased affordability, clients will no longer have the incentive to punt abroad, and if independents undercut agencies, then clients will move from agencies to genuine independents. The stage could be reached, where it is no longer economically viable for girls to work for agencies, the majority of whom seem to take a 50% cut and charge the girls 40 Euro per day for the use of the apartment. I for one would not loose any sleep if life was made less profitable for agency bosses, pimps, trafficers and their ilk.

So gents, please remember that your brains are located between your ears and vote with yours wallets and not you dicks. The escorts are'nt really that interested in the size of your dicks, it's the size of the wallet attached to the dick that matters.

Happy punting all!
