I was thinking that I was in the wrong line of business, too. But then I wonder how well the math works out. The hourly rate you charge for your services doesn't fully represent the time that you spend working (answering queries that may or may not generate business, scheduling, maintaining your equipment, ongoing training). Likewise, there are other expenses to consider, such as health insurance. And there's the question of how much work you can reasonably expect at that rate. If you only get paid for two hours of work per month, but you spend 20 hours per week on your business in one way or another, then you're really not doing very well. Not to mention that the current rates assume a somewhat tight market; with more entrants into the market, will rates decrease ( ... )

Those are pretty unrealistic rates, too. ~$1000 is what one hardworking, well-liked, only-famous-locally female porn star I know gets for an average scene, and she says that's pretty standard for her level. Prices for female escorts vary widely, but I don't personally know any who charge more than $250/hr, and that's at the highest end, most charge less. That doesn't count tips or "tips," but it also doesn't count pay-out to whoever's booking them, either--or if they're independent, their own administrative costs. Not the ones who manage steady work don't do well for themselves, but it's still nowhere near $1000/hr.

Rates vary widely for escorts.  There are many that are <$200/hr, but you get what you pay for.  Most are in the $200 - $300 range.  Occasionally you'll see some upwards of $400/hr, but not too often.  And yes, there are some even upwards of $1,000/hr.  These tend to be the very high priced and presumably high classed escorts.

If anyone is interested, the following should shed some light on this:

And there's always the Erotic Services section on craigslist

I knew those ranges seemed pretty low.

This escort service matches sex-blog-educated intuitions.

Dear lord!  I knew some were outrageously priced, but this is just insane!

According to court papers, the investigation involves an exclusive prostitution ring called the Emperor's Club VIP, which operated in cities across the US, as well as in London and Paris.

More than 50 prostitutes were employed by the ring, charging fees ranging from $1,000 to more than $5,500 an hour, prosecutors said last week.
