Talking about it AGAIN isn't going to do anything.

Vote with your wallets gents!!!

Support the rates you see value in and don't support those you think are too much. Don't save up for it, don't use a bonus for it. Don't feed the beast. But do support those that support you with fair pricing and service. Simple.

Good Morning,

I'd like to share a discussion I had with another therapist recently.

I know prices are high, but we were both saying that let's say it's a bad day and you only get 1 client for the day, but you charge R500 for example.
This still has to cover expenses - rent, advertising, outfits, make up (luckily I don't have to wear make up), water / electricity, shower products, cleaning products, condoms, oil, regular sexual health checks AND still actually earn a profit! So that you can at least cover your basic living needs such as buying food.

I'm going to be totally honest, I don't feel that anyone is worth LESS than at least a R1000 to open their legs, whether it's for 30min or 3hours.

I know that some people feel that they have no choice but to do so. But I want every single lady to know their worth.

This is not to shame anyone or make anyone feel less than and it's definitely not rile up any controversy or name calling.

But what I certainly am asking is that we all have a little more compassion towards one another. You may not agree, but you have the choice to respect people's decisions.

My 2 cents. It's a market where the prices will be what they are if there is demand for what's being offered AND the resultant volumes for the SP result in value.

There's no point charging R3k for the hour if only two punters are willing to pay that in a month as an example. Equally probably not viable charging R300/h and seeing a thousand punters either. There's a balance somewhere in the middle for each SP.

So I think SPs are entitled to charge whatever they want to charge and punters are entitled to pay whatever they are willing to pay. Simple.

The business-end has to proactively manage pricing in line with what works for them as far as value/effort is concerned.

100%.

I feel Pretoria is especially guilty of over charging. (Cape Town is a separate conversation all-together)

We've reached a point where message prices have reached the premium range. And I tell you, the higher the price of a message, the more disappointing the service.

But like mentioned earlier, your wallets determine the market.

I have noticed that some ladies will quote a crazy price but then try to negotiate when you decline. Personally, I refuse to play this game.

I appreciate @DickRich2 and @JackParrow69's feedback.

Spot on. Support the rates you see value in, pay what you can afford, and those ladies will continue to support you with their fees.

Just like some of us SP's stick to a certain type of clientele. That works for me, because those gents are the ones keeping my business running, and they remain my regulars and I will always accommodate them and look WELL after them.

The beauty of this business is there are more than enough SP's to choose from. And whether you have a budget wallet or a more 'flashy wallet, you will find a punt, just shop around a bit.

agree if you charge R2800 and you don't have a client to you get R0 vote with your feet

Have you seen the price of staple foods,like
Rice
Maize
Wheat

30 eggs over R100!!!

Petrol and diesel???

Have you tried to pack a lunchbox for a kiddy going to school or tried to feed your elder sitting in a retirement village living off peanuts of an excuse of a state pension fund???

Now THAT is....PRICES GONE WILD.

u wanna get ripped off? ...because that is what u implying then go for it! Because maybe just maybe that,is the price of a fantasy .

Many still buy that Gucci bag , that Yves Saint Laurent perfume and then many of us look just as fabulous buying from our thrifty stores....picky yes, but serious gems and bargains to be found.

Come on.


Let's talk real .. and stop bullshitting.

U wanna experience a fantasy that is out of your reach...well...she gonna fleece you off all your Rands u have or may not have.

Happy punting to all.....deep pockets or not.

RB.

If punting is too expensive then I suggest finding another hobby.

Wgs have the right to charge what they want given the pathetic economic climate of our country.
