Doom, not to be a shit, but you have to pay to play. I am lucky enough that I can demand a high salary for what I do, but the 400 euros I make a day as an I.T. contractor is pocket change to most of these girls.

I see a lot of girls, about twice a week; I tend to see some of the same girls as you can imagine. Once they get to know you their guard comes down a little and they are more willing to answer questions they would normally keep secret. In my experience many of the girls average anywhere from 500 to 1500 euros daily, when on tour. Do the sums and it’s staggering.

They will argue that they, like professional athletes, have an expiration date; “I can’t do this forever so I want to make as much as I can right now and get out”... however this argument is clearly self serving as we have many ladies on this site who work as "mature" escorts. I imagine they may not get as many punters as a bubbly 22 year old does but it's still obviously good money because, well, they are still doing it.

In Los Angeles in the mid 80s the price of a prossie was around $300 U.S. dollars per hour, about what we pay now here in Ireland in 2007. Girls in Prague charge much less and Prague is not back water eastern European shit hole either; it's class.

The market dictates the price.

It doesn't take an economics major to realise that if we refused to pay their asking price that they'd either start charging less or go elsewhere to peddle their services.

However, organising all of us punters to demand lower pricing is unrealistic as there is no loyalty or honor among us.

The only way to lower pricing is to legalise prostitution, the government will get a cut and the prossies will trot over here en mass like they have to Berlin, Prague and Amsterdam where prostitution is legal. More competition equals lower pricing.

Sadly, I don't think legalization will ever happen in my life time.

All things considered: the prossie price is just another symptom of rip off Ireland. So until the market changes we pay to play.

A tip: If I like a girl I will ask her to give me a regular rate, most girls comply with this with little argument as it’s to their advantage to receive the steady income and most prefer to see regulars versus some stranger. I get a lower rate and she gets security of income and safety of a known punter. The only down side to this arrangement is I tend to get bored of a girl long before I have the opportunity to take full advantage of this arrangement.

Best of luck to you doom.

Well said mate
