It doesn't follow that higher rates means less clients.
Escorts are here to make money.
If the phone rings they will work.
Lately it appears to me the established escorts are busy as they have their regulars and clients are playing it safe.
I've also been told by several less established escorts that it's very quiet. At 6pm I was told I was the first client of the day and she planned on leaving Dublin as it was very expensive.
She left earlier in the week.
I suppose the real lesson here is we should get out there and spend some money before we lose more escorts
