Guest Posted May 11, 2010 Posted May 11, 2010 Notice that my first post was what I suggest to others. It is not what I pay myself. I tend to pay all the guys the same in every city. However, I think the rates I suggest are about average and not going to cause someone to get confronted with an uncomfortable situation. Rates for money boys are similar all over the planet. They charge more per hour than a regular paying wage earner would make. New York City is typically 300 and up. Same for LA and SF. You can find guys on Craig's List for less but you risk not getting what you want. One person suggested getting the conversation up front as to what is expected financially and for both parties to agree to that. I think this is an excellent idea. If you are ever planning on paying outside the norm, a discussion MUST be part of the talk before the desert is given. If you tend to pay more, I don't think that discussion is ever needed. I have only one time been asked for more money in Thailand. I told the boy that he was nuts as I know I overpaid him and I also gave him some suggestions on getting repeats and asking for more money was not one way to do that. I went ahead and gave him more money and never saw him again for a short time. I did not give him the money until I made sure he knew that: 1. I would give him the money requested. 2. That I knew he was full of shit in what he was asking and 3. That he blew a chance for a regular customer. When I was in NYC, I always told my guys there that the best way to ensure success as an escort is to make sure they see you again and again. If you have a few regular clients that will see you often, the need for the short timers become less important and your life is easier. I did not give my suggestions on prices in Thailand as a Requirement or a rule. I listed them only as suggestions. I certainly did not mean to make anyone feel uncomfortable. Pay what you think a very sexy guy is worth. Don't underpay. Don't grossly overpay (unless you know what you are getting) and for goodness sake, always make sure the boy knows your expectations before you take him. Don't expect every boy to know what you want and be willing to do it. CONVERSATION is key! Quote

Equally, any boy asking for MORE than the norm should discuss this in advance, or put up with the "standard" tip. I would probably have refused the request for more money. As for rates being similar all over the planet, well there may be some level of similarity in the ratio rates:average earnings, but certainly not similarity in absolute terms. I might start a new thread on that topic later. Quote
