Zeroz is not concerned with price as fair compensation for services rendered; rather, he advocates raising fees to limit access to the girls by pricing them out of reach of the less affluent punters. Unfortunately, that would price the best of them right out of my reach as well. I manage to get by without the US$ 500 wines I'd love to drink, but having to make do with 3rd-tier Mongkok walkups would be too dispiriting. And if the price of the very best were to rise, so would the price of the not so desirable - it's called bracket creep. Fortunately, this kind of rationing only works in a market where supply of the desired commodity is limited, and that's not the case here on the edge of that great reservoir of lovely women that is China.
And keep in mind that these girls
are making US-equivalent fees when the money is converted back into RMB and spent in China. The 400 HK$ (360 RMB) these girls take away from a 45 min encounter is a very good week's salary on the Mainland, so HK$ 400 to them is equivalent to many hundreds of dollars to an American - it's called PPP (purchasing power parity) and explains why the little lovelies flock to HK. Paying US$ 300/hr in a country where the cost of living is one fifth that in the West would be a huge distortion in the other direction.
So guys, let the market dictate price, and have a little pity on a bro who didn't spend his life chasing the buck.
If you really want to pay US prices, take the girl for 3 consecutive 45 min periods, and let her sleep for the first hour.
And Jake, aren't you the guy who is always tut-tutting about these greedy Asian village girls who make too much money for doing nothing?
