How expensive is it to hire a sex worker for 1h where you’re from?

r/

A buddy of mine said that in the place we live (third world in a city with a LOT of poverty),human life is worth less and he mentioned the cost of prostitution being akin to someone buying a more expensive craft beer in the first world. I didn’t think it’s that drastic.

We’d like to understand how this illegal but ancient and commonplace profession differs according to socioeconomic boundaries and if women are deemed to be worth less for being born in a different place (and if they are, how much so)

EDIT: would you kindly name your country if you mention a price

    Prostitution is illegal in my country but I have researched on how it typically works(When I had a lot of disposable income and just came out of quarantine). Most of the “massage” places in my area are actually thinly veiled sex houses.

    It would depend what kind of “service” you’d like to receive and the “quality” of the masseuse.

    Low-end “massage” places are usually about roughly 20 dollars. and that’s the “full package” While high-end prostitution services that are really top notch like scheduling with at least 8/10 women usually range from 100 dollars to as high as 300 dollars and a few of them include hotel rooms.

    Keep in mind I’m in a developing third world country (The Philippines) so the conversion rate is really high between the dollars and my country’s currency.

    300 an hour. Craft beer is 10

    I’m not sure that’s a great way to measure worth. A glass bottle of Coca Cola costs about $3.50 in the US and about $0.12 in Mexico. The difference in price says less about Coca Cola and more about currency valuation (although there are also some social and political factors that contribute to the price as well).

    I think a more accurate metric would be how much a sex worker can earn compared to the average day’s wage in that region.

    Another confounding factor would be whether sex work is legal and, if not legal, how strictly the laws are enforced. The difference in price would not be attributed to the “market’s” valuation on human life but on the premium associated with the risk.

    I never plan to. I have gotten mine for free and willingly

    It is illegal in my country/state (US), but that does not stop the world’s oldest profession. Street girls can vary depending on what you want. A BJ can range anywhere from 20 to 80 depending on the girl. If you want PIV it can go from 40 to 120 on the street. Most of them just focus on getting the john to nut. If you want a whole hour that would come with many questions on what you want to happen during that hour and where you planned on going. I’m sure the price will go up with that kind of request. An expensive beer is $10.

    It only costs 3-5 years.

    In Colombia the price varies quite a bit. Brothels charge anywhere from about $30 on the low end to $100 for an hour. Not sure what randoms charge.

    It’s not illegal in my country.

    My friend charges $300/hr. $450 if you don’t pay for the hotel room.

    That’s not really a reasonable thing to expect people to know.

    It’s illegal in Vietnam but on average the price seems to hover around 20$. Craft beer is around 7-10$

    Former brothel manager here!

    On the Gold Coast it’s roughly $360 for a for standard service (this includes massage, straight sex, oral on you and chance to cum once). Anything extra such as kissing, girlfriend experience, kinks etc would generally cost more and are something you would negotiate with the sex worker directly

    Here(Peru) depends.

    The low-end stuff ranges between 10-20 dollars, and is stuff done on the street or in very shady places. Typically done by trans women or people in dire situations.

    Then we have the normal prostitution which can range from 50-100 dollars. With day to day women(although most of the prostitutes are Venezuelan and some may even be forced to do that). This deals are done in some kind of cheap hotel.

    The high end stuff just goes up from those prices, beautiful women are usually the prostitutes and it’s done in a normal hotel or sometimes the prostitutes rent an apartment where they can sleep with you.

    Hong Kong. Around $75 to get your nut off at a one-person brothel with a local Chinese or Filipino. Probably $100 for a Russian or other Eastern European

    Craft beers around $10-15

    Portland or 20-300

    Amsterdam; €200,- for an hour; at her ‘place’.

    It’s not for free, but you can browse through 75 girls within a streth of 30 minute drive. Great invention.

    I do this about once a month next to my relationship, transparently.

    Sometimes I am in LA or Paris which fobids prostitution. I don’t take risks, but boy my life would suck without fresh girls coming in..

    Here in Tokyo about USD200, but can be lower if you don’t mind encountering Shrek

    Seattle- My friend told me that he paid a dating app male escort $500 for sex but then the guy ended up staying a week for $2k (not including the drugs that they took.) Also, he stole a bunch of shit.

    This was two years ago. My friend has since moved out of state and is in recovery. He’s doing much better now.

    I once paid just over $10 for a 20pc nugget meal for someone I met on Grindr. So…I guess that much. But to be fair, about an hour later I realized I overpaid.

    Finland. 200 to 300 euros if Finnish. Foreing it is 150 to 250.

    Beer in bar is 8 to 15 euro, craft beer is 12 to 20 euros.

    No clue. I wouldn’t know where to find one if I wanted to, tbh. Craigslist maybe?

    50-500 Euro, depends on level i choose

    Slovenia. Most that advertise online between €100 and €200 for incall, depending on looks, but mostly around €150. I guess higher end escorts in expensive hotels are more.

    ₹ 1,000-2,000 which is $12-18

    Not sure about the cost but hiring for 1 hour….. What would you do for the remaining 56 minutes?…… (s)

  33. dogdagny Avatar

    200 USD. That’s usually the minimum, but the sky is the limit.

    20-30 euros. Legal to sell, illegal to pimp.

    My research on the legal brothels in Nevada, USA indicates that the minimum cost would be $700 and it can go way up (thousands) from there. Their monopoly on legal prostitution in the US makes it very expensive.

    100€ and 120€ for trans

    Central Texas, USA here.

    I do device prototyping and lots of 3d printing, and have had quite a few customers ordering custom toys, and I’m a curious sort, so I’ve asked those questions myself…

    Depends on the lady and circumstances.

    Somebody trying to get established in a new area may run specials around $100.

    Usually you can get a basic massage starting around $60, adding a hand job will probably push that up to $100

    Usually a 15 min quick visit starts around $125, $150-200 for half an hour, and $200+ for an hour

    And that’s for women you meet at Walmart or the grocery store.

    If you want a supermodel, well, figure $500+ for half an hour…

    Brazil, from $20 on the lower-end with an almost guaranteed chance at someone uglier than the ad, to $200 for the more premium experiences. For reference, a can of coke costs $1.50 here.

    I live in the Middle East with a lot of immigrant workers (relevant).

    We have sex workers who cater for them and probably under 5USD equivalent. I’ve been offered sex in exchange for food before. (I wasn’t hungry so declined /jke)

    If a monthly salary can be 500$ then a few $ isn’t cheap for them.

    Club and bar prostitutes more (im guessing arpund 50$ but depending which area then I’m guessing way cheaper.

    100-150 EUR

    Like 50 dolars aprox

    $45 for the standard, $15 for the cheapest.

    You can hire a sex worker for an hour for around $500 for a basic good time in my town. It goes up from there, of course. We only have one brothel in town (population of town is under 1,500 though so I guess one brothel is normal) so prices aren’t competitive. In the next largest town you can find a “date” for a little less.

    A craft beer at one of the 3 bars outside of the brothel will set you back about $5.60 for a pint.

    I live in Northern Nevada and sex work is legal here. ETA: Nevada, USA. I forgot not everyone just knows where Nevada is, sorry!

    melbourne brothel 150 to 250, filled with tourist visa girls from asia.

    Escort agency varies, cheaper end 250 to 500 for asian girls above 700 for “premium” asian girls, local white/black girls 450+ was the lowest I’ve seen, usually 500+, higher end 1k to 2k.

    Sometimes JAV pornstars come tours australia and the big names go for 10k, or 20k for the biggest names. I’ve heard they just lay there and do nothing, so apparently not worth it. Customers are usually rich overseas students, apparently.

    Independent 250+ asian girls, 500 to 1k local girls.
