Rants, Raves and Opinions AKA "The Octagon"

[RufusFirefly]

That's absolutely incorrect. In Ohio you can be charged with solicitation if you just discuss money for sex.

Yes they can arrest you for solicitation with communication about buying sex but it would be difficult if not impossible to prove from a girls text. Those text would be used as proof if busted in person.

When Tryst first showed up on the Internet Cincinnati SW crowd found it, posted glam photos, and suddenly thought they were top-shelf escorts worthy of $300 ppm. Then the actual escorts (not SW or UTRs) in town found Tryst, and matched their SW counterparts price level. Over time, the herd on Tryst was thinned out. The pandemic hit. Tryst postings eventually up ticked. Out of towners posted at higher prices. Sometimes 2x or 3x local prices. Locals have matched those higher posting prices. Simplification of Tryst price history and causation.

Rosalie and Taylor Nikole have slowly, over numerous years, increased rates to the current amount of $400 while being professional, personable, fun, and dependable.

That said, I long for the days of TT, Sasha and Cupcake. Todd and I can commiserate over hotties we let get away. This is a place where people can rant and vent. However, no amount of urging is going to persuade a horny guy with money to change his choices. To think otherwise is just standing in your yard and shaking your fist at the clouds.

I still have never before posted photos of Sasha and CC in a hidden folder deep in my old hard drive. They came over one night for a duo, and I had my camera, and they wanted duo pics for their ads. They picked their favs, and asked me to send those via email. I still have the others that they never used. Good times. Between taking pics, fucking, drinking, talking, fucking again (both duo and one on one), it was about 4-5 hours. There was one position with cupcake on top in reverse cowgirl, Sasha had her face between CC's legs doing long licks; from my balls, up the shaft, and right to CC's pussy and clit.

With the exception to trips to Greece, both of them were game for anything that I requested. They were genuinely into each other so watching their girl-on-girl was so hot.

Good times. Good times.

Right. Carmen, who has been around since long before the pandemic, used to charge $300 per hour, incall or outcall. She's now insisting on hotel incalls only, and she wants $800:

The very acceptable (but by no means exceptional) Destiny wants $600. She would have been a $300 girl (max) before the pandemic.

That's not inflation. That's price gouging. And as Smoky Gringo said, we should make it collapse by withholding our money.

I am sympathetic to both sides of the argument. On the one hand, the prices are inflated beyond any reasonable justification while the available quality is diminished exponentially. I cannot explain the dynamics that led to the change but it is what it is.

On the other side, though, a service provider is free to charge what the market will bear. If *no one* was willing to pay, the prices would be lower. Obviously, guys are agreeing to these rates at these quality levels. From a business standpoint, the women would be stupid to charge less than the customers are willing to pay.

The only thing permanent is change. Prices have gone up? Yes. Have prices of everything gone up? Yes. If you are priced out of the hobby take a bow and be glad you lasted as long as possible. If you have the money and want to * and complain about pricing get more money or buy what you can afford. Is it becoming harder to find a provider that actually provides what you want for the money? No. But yes if you let an agency (EE or Buddha ect ect.) pick the pussy for you. Now that those avenues of approach are either deposit oriented or fake avoid them. People come on here and * and complain about prices. Pony up or get the fuck out. When you get the fuck out just go away. If you aren't ready to put in the research and deal with the bad communication and bad service get the fuck out. The glory days of the business aren't over they have passed you up. The new glory day is the next day a hooker is on your cock.

You've over simplified the sex work economy and you're referencing agencies that have been gone for years. Gas and groceries didn't double their prices, fat girls did. I shall digress, Todd Cincy and Gringo's replies are more than enough to illustrate the holes in your post. Bravo, gentlemen.

I am participating in the boycott of these price-gougers because that is how you get them to lower their prices. If they don't lower them, then I don't get to see them. I'll live, I've got some UTRs.

As far as telling people to get out of the hobby, maybe you should GTFO of the "Rants and Raves" section of the forum? That's kinda what this thread is for.

I too have taken my money out of the Cinci market is the price is way too high for the quality. I happen to travel frequently for work so I can get my release out of town. What others have said about price / quality in other cities seems to be true. I use an agency in Chicago called Alena. With them I'm paying $450 an hour for high quality young girls. I've seen 6 of them so far. They range from 20-25 years old. Some are just attractive all the way to hot & athletic. Compare that to the overweight, old, & used up ones here charging $400-$600. They might have been worth that when they were 22. Not so after a few stints in rehab & a lot of miles on the body.

I have been saying this for awhile. The prices have gone up and the services has gone down. I seldom see a lady anymore because of the prices. A decent to good looking girl is usually charges more than I want to pay. Ladies have too many rules. The two big ones are no kissing and covered anything. I am not paying a drug addict because they are extremely unpredictable. To many unreliable ladies and scams and robberies.

I have decided to concentrate on going to AMPs. I might only get a HJ but I can make an appointment or just show up. I get a relaxing one hour massage and a nut for $. 20 to $$. 20.

I hold the money so I have all the power.

Carmen needs to be charged with vandalism for the big thigh tat. And sentenced to a lesbian prison starring me as the conversion therapy warden.

And the way Destiny is sticking her tongue out with the teddy bear. I'd say full blown lunatic more than 50% likely to stab you in the shower during cleanup.

[Todd Cincy]

This market is upside down. COMPLETELY. And needs to collapse. You've got girls that are gorgeous charging way high, always have, that's fine. They were always untouchable. Nobody is really complaining about that per se. But now the mids (where I reside) and lower are 100-200% up. Way out of league with your "everything has gone up". Inflation is anywhere from 7-40% by my best non certified economical studies.

Buddha hasn't been around for at least 10 years, and EE has been gone for at least two years. So I'm not sure how these references are relevant in late 2023.

As for the broader attempt to silence complaints about pricing: This is the "rants and raves" section of a consumer information exchange site.

There is nothing wrong with saying, "Hey guys, I think the quality as well as the price is out of whack nowadays. Am I the only one?

That's the real issue. If this was simply a matter of prices going up (proportionally) with inflation, I don't think there would be many complaints. We all know that $200 college coeds (a reality in 2011) probably aren't coming back.

But the issue nowadays is horrible quality plus exorbitant prices.

I can "afford" to spend $500 on an obese or over-the-hill provider whom I wouldn't have wanted under any circumstances in 2018. But why would I do that?

Encouraging others to sit out of the market is a viable strategy. Boycotts, even informal ones, work. Look at what happened recently with Bud Lite.

And if the phones stop ringing, those prices might come down. That's the way it works with everything else. Basic economics.

Couldn't have said it better yes there are still a few that take care of regulars I was in Parkersburg last week my regular said she was broke I said all I have is $100 for outcall I picked her up and dropped her off she asked me to stop at Kroger which I did she spent all the money on food I slipped her a $20 sometimes there might be life out there.

Thanks Mr. Moneybags. I distinctly remember one of your posts telling people to not tell other what's they can / can't do. Ah, there it is.

If you don't like deposits don't visit a provider who requires a deposit. If you want to give a deposit it's your money. Telling grown men what to do is not the point of this forum. Announcing that a provider is coming to Lou and telling everyone don't pay a deposit to see her is another thing entirely.

Why don't you have a cup of your own advice. This is the "Rants, Raves" section for a reason. And I agree with the boys. This market is upside down. COMPLETELY. And needs to collapse. You've got girls that are gorgeous charging way high, always have, that's fine. They were always untouchable. Nobody is really complaining about that per se. But now the mids (where I reside) and lower are 100-200% up. Way out of league with your "everything has gone up". Inflation is anywhere from 7-40% by my best non certified economical studies.

Losing guys like us will leave the the high ends and your QV $80 girls and when that happens, they'll fill that gap and you'll be bitching.

Glad someone finally put it into perspective. I totally agree. I still have my go to providers a staying in the game. I also do my research, read the forum a make my own decision on who I want to see. Gas is no longer $2.50 a gal. Good Pussy is no longer $150 hr. I still drive an I still pay the price for pussy. Thank BigGus for their like it is.
