Preface, I've only ever had preliminary interactions with sex workers... I personally have never been able to commit myself to actually paying for sex because I've yet to find a sex worker I want to engage with. most of them have bad attitudes, money centric entitlements (that I often do not see as deserved), and many socio centric selfishness that seems antithesis to the whole exchange. I see value in sex work when its done right but I've yet to find someone I see as worthy of engaging with. I've lowered my standards once or twice, after months of engaging with specific individual sex workers... but usually they are so far that I end up deciding its too cumbersome to travel or they ultimate decide to try and scam me out of money (which is wild seeing the effort they put in just for 200 dollars. Like, after all that talking you'd
think it'd remove the waste of time factor to just just have sex, take the money, THEN ghost.

most of this ranting is from years upon years of hearing second hand stories, watching sex workers rant about shit, and overall from general observation rather than direct experience.... but it does have a little experience (primarily with strippers)

Sex workers in general have been pretty freaking toxic and super quick to judge and attack. I remember once or twice, even, I was invited to hang out at a strip club... paid the door fee, and chilled in the back. but after rejecting the advances of some of the girls I'd inevitably start seeing them get bitter and even once they tried demanding I get kicked out... when ALL I was doing was chilling... in the back and out of the way. (I didn't get kicked out, the manager said I paid my entry fee and so I get to be in the building and that was that)

I'm sure it has to do with their own stigmas but it's just so crazy to me.

The worst of it is when they get so up in arms about guys 'negotiating price'. like, hello, never mind its every persons basic human right to negotiate... its just logical they would want to negotiate in a situation like this... especially since most sex workers ask for hundreds of dollars... some even ask for over 1k. its insane to get upset when someone, a client, wants to ask if it can be shaved down a bit.

Particularly given most men only go 20-30 minutes... some will go longer but most do not hit an hour. so of course in general hourly rates arent a problem. but when a guy who goes more then an hour just to orgasm once? that means your standard hourly is now going to be 2 hours for that dude...

Duh he's going to want to try and cut it down... 8 hundred to 2k for 2 quick hours of 'fun', MAYBE once a week, is just not logical. never even mind when there are likely going to be restrictions and probably beginning accidental boundary slips.

I get people are sleezy, and some sex workers have to deal with people trying to argue cheaper just for cheaper (which still is a logical thing to do) because they want 200 an hour, or free, instead of 4 or 500 an hour. Or when guys try to get 'extras' (as sex workers call them) without 'extra' cost. but to get so bent about it that you make it into a sort of slur is insane...
