as for the idea that 200 hours of sex PER YEAR is impossible? lol, i suggest you sit back and think about that for a second. and i actually was taking into account periods and time off. i don't think you know how long a year is.


You're assuming that the woman does not sleep, does not eat, she just wait to get paid and have sex with a guy. To maintain herself at the minimal physical level, she has to sleep and eat. And again, you're also assuming that she's not competing with other girls, which will oftentimes eat into what potential money she can generate.


Why don't more prostitutes have nice cars, fancy homes, and other luxury items if 6 figure incomes are the norm for this field? I'll tell you why, because it's virtually impossible to make that.

I mean do you guys not understand anything about business? Prostitution is a BUSINESS. It cost money to make money.


There are various tradeoffs at every level of prostitution. For example touring cost a ton of money, and that is money they may not make back. Again, when I use to see prostitutes, I formed relationships with them. Now I saw prostitutes back in 2007. Out of the 4 I kept in contact with, 1 of them were actively still doing it. The other 3 went competely broke trying to sustain the business. That 1 is no longer a prostitute, as she also quit because she wasn't generating enough income to reinvest back into the business.

As far as a Brothell house go, I can see the house generating that much money. But the prostitute sees very little of it.


First thing you'll learn about a prostitute, they overexaggerate. Big time. But that's part of selling. It's to overexaggerate your product to make people want to invest into it.


In the real world, prostitutes will constantly need to worry about pimps, competition from other girls, being defrauded by clientele, and managing environments which are suitable for the clientale.


For example a prostitute working on some shady part of town known for drugs, gangs, and other things may see less money per client. Clients who will pay the bigger money won't feel safe visiting them.

Hotels are the most discrete ways to see prostitutes, but again, this is money out of their own pocket, unless it's being footed by a pimp. And the pimp will take a major chunk.

I will be honest. I am in a odd relationship now where I am defiantly supporting him and I don't mind. Will this last a long time? Its hard to say if it does great if not then he was my rebound relationship and I am ok with that too.

This all cost money. This eats up into their profit. If they neglect any of this, they could possibly lose business.

I mean this is like business 101. Prostitution isn't invincible to resource constraints and money management. There is no type of busines where you generate income WITHOUT reinvesting your income into your business.


hotels: as previously stated, this must be an atlanta thing.
travel expenses: what?
advertisement: what? how does that cost money? all the big escort sites are free.
clothes: what?
STD's: not a meaningful expense

Hotels, flights, wardrobe??? You think my friend pays for that stuff?? No way-her clients do. You have no idea of the amount of money people have in this world to spend on whatever they please. Trust me, I've seen her hidden stack of cash and have seen her come back from an evening date with $2000 cash in hand.

Women get into it for the same reason men get into selling drugs. It's very FAST money, and it's easy to get into. But if you're in a major city and you're an escort, you face a lot of competition. No way an escort can possible make that money in any major city. The only way that is possible is if she constantly see very high paying clients. But again, that's an exception more so than the norm.

I've known tons of escorts, a lot were very beautiful. Most are broke. But have them tell it, they're making tons of money. Yet anytime you call one they're always free to see you. Why is that? they aren't making the money they say they are making.

Come on, I wasn't born yesterday

I believe you... Strippers do ok. But it does have a limited career span though. And $100K is not really a lot in Miami is it? There needs to be another long range goal to support yourself - like owning your own strip club or something.

I know some waitresses who make about this much w/tip money at higher end restaurants. I would think one would make much more money for undertaking the risk of selling your body.
i have no idea if it's top income for escorts, i was merely pointing out how easy it is to reach 100k in income. and no, 110k is not middle income for chicago. even household income is nowhere near that.

Yep. Back in the late 90's you go make out like a bandit working the upper end restaurants/casinos in Las Vegas. Back then, Nevada kids would skip college altogether and just go work the casinos.

Obviously you were hanging out with a lower class of women.

Hotels are common. If it's not hotel, then it's outcalls, which are far more expensive to do.

Traveling - how do they get to and from their outcall location. Most prostitutes who do incalls do not do it outside of their own homes

Wardrobe - yes. Have you seen a poorly dressed prostitute? they want to give the impression of sexy and classy. That cost.

STD? Not meaningful? So what happens when they infect a client, and the client writes a review stating that the girl is infected? She lose business. No WAY a guy is going to purchase an escort WITH an STD.

Wait a sec,care to clarify that? Are you a gay man and some straight man who was supposed to be your best friend pretended he was gay? Why did he do it?
