You would be lucky to pay less, some guys are asking, and getting, £300 or more. London is really one of the worst value places in the world when it comes to hiring.

Well, I'm in New York at present, and most guys are asking $400. Got one down to 350! One asked for 500. I politely declined! floridarob 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This time he confirmed that the 'going rate' was 400, though I got a discount, to 350, as a regular! I saw another guy tonight, whom I hadn't seen for 3 years. He is really attractive, African American and Native American. Sex was great, and he only wanted 300. He is not on escort sites any more, so he may be a bit out of touch. I gave him a big tip, though, as I almost drowned in his cum! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I am in Barcelona I never pay over 100e simply because I can always get what I want under 100 but I am sure that is not the case for many cities in Western Europe.
