Sex prices and how much to pay
[QUOTE=Jojosun;1713976]A).According to an extended family member who was based in the UK in the late 50's (US Military) the going rate for Soho Street Girls at the time when it was legal, the rate was 2 Guineas.
Googling it its =2.10 p in today's money. [URL]http://www.retrowow.co.uk/retro_britain/old_money/old_money.html.[/URL].
So it was 2. 10 then & now 20..[/QUOTE]A fellow member jogged my memory on the subject discussed, re a link I posted on the Kiev forum nearly 6 years ago when researching how much to pay for our hobby. LOL This beats Trivia nights & Pub Quizzes.
A book (Ten Times the price of a hair cut) by Nick Storr published under the pseudonym LR Bogarde, gives the answer. His view based on his research around the world revealed that the price of sex was about 10 times the price of a hair cut. So if haircuts prices go down so will the escorts prices according to his research.
When arriving at a new town he asked the taxi driver the price of a haircut to give him an understanding of the sex scene there.
LOL. For cheap skates who are too embarrassed asking a London Taxi driver, this link gives prices for cheap hair cuts in London & hence the price for Sex in different areas of London.

London oddity and conclusion.
[QUOTE=SeanEZ;1715781]At walk-ups I normally ask them about services and prices pretending to be a first timer and then say I'll get money and return. It's a real quick and dirty experience, and she will want you to finish as quickly as you can. On the other hand there is nothing like that in the US.
There are *****houses in London. You can be taken there by guys that hang outside of Oxford Circus and Mayfair fancy clubs at the time of closing, and by rickshaw drivers. They all know of those. I've been twice, it's around 150 FS, selection isn't great but decent. I'll have to agree with previous posters it would be great to have quality and selection like that of German and Spanish clubs.
I discovered backpage reading a few pages back. Are those girls claiming real pictures same when you actually meet them? Some are real cute ones and a good Asian and Indian selection.[/QUOTE]Hi Sean. It's just really odd that London fails so badly on this front. It is the only capital city I've ever been to where MPs are completely underground. Jojosun has responded with posts about police closing down various MPs in London including Sun and Dream. What I just do not understand is the complete inconsistency on the enforcement front. I mentioned Manchester but if you search for MPs in ANY city other than London they are plentiful and easy to locate on the internet. McCoys guide has them all listed. So what is the big deal with London? Short of tantric massage (not real) or escorts it is devoid of parlours without this fear factor. I'm just not up for this quick and dirty walk up stuff. I like to go somewhere where you can get a drink, enjoy a leisurely selection and have some fun. The FKK clubs in Germany are amazing and as you say the Clubs in Spain offer this. The difference in both is that it is all legal. The result is that they don't need cheap and dirty walk ups though SWs are still prominent (again not my scene). I've just accepted that London is a bad mongering destination.
So it's true. London IS the best tourist destination but not for mongering!
[QUOTE=Jojosun;1716450]Again,
It's official: London is the most popular destination for tourists in the world. "The number of foreign tourists visiting London surged by 20 per cent last summer to a new record. Making it the world's most popular destination. "Half a million German tourists think the same as well.
LOL. Now Brits have to fight them for the best spot on the Beaches "We shall fight them on the beaches. For the best spot: Half a million German tourists a year are visiting Britain.
[URL]http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2401343/Half-million-German-tourists-y[/URL][/QUOTE]Hi Jojo and I do love your posts as they are informative. I am in London nearly every week. I love the city. It's an amazing place to visit as a tourist. But I maintain that it is a dreadful place to visit to monger in other than via escorts. Many of whom just do NOT look like their photoshopped picture when you or they arrive. I've given up on them because it is SO hit and miss. MP's are almost restricted to the chinese cheap and dirty variety where FS is almost non-existent. Even then, most have the sexy cleavage showing pretty girl on reception. Who then introduces the 52 year old Mum who is not at all sexy, in a size 18 dress who is taking you for your massage and if you really have the nerve the rushed HJ at the end. Not my idea of a great punt. Oh I've gotten lucky sometimes and got the odd pretty one. About 2 out of 40 visits in London. So they are out too if a punter wants a nice evening, in a nice environment, with a few sexy ladies and then some fun. Your link in your second post to London after dark didn't work (you'd dropped the www) but I got there. I know the Gentlemen's clubs well. They are a hopeless waste of money as you say. Pretty girls in sexy dresses employed to do nothing but persuade you to spend many hundreds of pounds on cheap champagne or more on the real stuff. And in return. Well in my experience if you then fancy paying upwards of £500 per hour for further "company" back at your hotel it is sometimes possible but I've never managed to lose my mind to that extent. There are budgets and budgets. £500 per hour is far more than mine. And don't forget you'd have spent £300+ in the club by then. So. Where are we up to:
1. Escorts. Completely hit and miss, often not the same girl in the picture, often much fatter than in the photoshopped picture. Cost of cab to her or more money for incall and then having to go through with it when you don't like the girl or simply do without or start again and hope the next one is better. NOT a great option.
2. MPs. Cheap and dirty and likely to get nothing more than an unfulfilling HJ by someone who is again completely unattractive. NOT a great option.
3. Gentlemans Clubs. Incredibly expensive. Likely to lead to you sitting with a stunning girl who you really want to session with until you realise that you've blown all your cash on cheap champagne and either she says no or wants so much you need a mortgage to get it. NOT a great option.
4. Walk ups in Soho. Wan't a bad suggestion a previous poster had of saying. Not done this before. Great I'm off to get some cash. If the line up is awful. An option I suppose. No capacity to sit and have a beer etc and select though.
Which takes me back to brothels. Which in nearly every City in the UK are described as Massage Parlours (have a look at Punterlink) even though they are not of the chinese variety and AR in fact brothels. It is a stone wall fact that in every UK city other than London where population exceeds 250,000 (and in many with less) there are these brothels. Known and advertised openly in the local press and on the net as Massage Parlours. Where you can go in, maybe sit in a reception and get a couple of drinks, meet with a selection of ladies all introduced to you for selection. For a great example. Take a look at [URL]http://www.sandyssuperstars.com[/URL] Two locations in Manchester. Advertised in newspapers openly. Described as Massage Parlour but FS available from a selection of ladies on the daily rota and they are nearly all really attractive and you can read their punter link reviews before you attend to get feedback from other mongers. Bit like here on ISG. Great prices, great service, great girls, great selection, good choice, great facilities. I'm not just advocating their cause lest anyone think I'm advertising for them. I'm not. I've given details of their competitors in Manchester. Bentleys, Sheridans, New Cosmopolitan, Tropical Palms. All similar. All advertised in newspapers as Massage Parlours and none with any record of police raids or being closed. Amazing.
Is it REALLY too much to expect the Capital City of (you say The World) to have ONE of these facilities? I think not.
Answer. Go to London to see Big Ben, The Thames, The London Eye, Buckingham Palace etc. But most definitely NOT if you fancy a great night with a sexy lady. You will search long and hard for it and most likely end up out of pocket and very disappointed. London is great for business and great for site-seeing. And hopeless for mongering!
Capital City of The World.

Maybe it's because I'm a Londoner.[/QUOTE]LOL! Hey Jojo. If I ever need a facts man I'm coming to you. I love your research and I don't question a word of it. But this isn't the International Tourist Guide. Its the International SEX guide. There isn't a single comment on your excellent response about mongering in London. I'm afraid that's because of all I previously said. Come to London for tourism not sex. It's just not as available in the style of EVERY other UK city. None of which are the Capital. And look what happened to the Capital in the Hunger Games!
Over and out. Enjoyed the banter and it would be great to see some of those experienced London mongers come on and tell me I've got this completely wrong, that London isn't just for seeing sights and that there are lots of establishments to point me to without fear. Like the ones I've named in Manchester. But I rather fear that for some reason in London they just don't exist. London. Capital of Tourism, World Capital and bottom of the league for mongering here on the ISG in the UK.
