Within proximity of Kansas City. Not an ideal area of domme sessions and vacations are on hold due to violence in most cities and silly travel requirements that I don't feel like playing into.

To avoid pain and shock later, now might be a good time to raise prices by 10%. I say this because if you are earning a living from conducting sessions, you must keep up with the times. If you are charging $250 per session, go to $275. $275 to $300. I think most people would pay it without thinking much about it. It's better to go from $250 to $275 now so you can more easily go to $300 later and not have it seem like a shock to clients. Imagine if you had a landlord who kept his rent at $1000 every year and failed to maintain the dwelling because he didn't go up slowly over ten years. Then he can't exactly go to $1150 like all the other houses because it shocks the tenant and causes them to move out to a better maintained similar house and leaves the landlord forever stuck with a slumlord type place.

Better pay=better equipment and facility.

Gold, silver, and crypto assets are all skyrocketing because the dollar is losing value. If you search DXY, the US dollar chart, you'll see the dollar is at 92.8. Normal is 100. It's lost over 7% in value recently and continues to decline. Stocks, gold, silver, etc. keep rising because of the trillions being pumped into the economy from bailouts.

With 3 trillion being pumped in, that means there is now an extra 9000 for each US citizen. With no new assets or services to go along with that, the people who lose out are those who still make the same money per year because prices for things go up.

John, for all the subs who’ve read this post, may interject with a large dose of sarcasm, “Thanks for ALL the help!”

I’m going to avoid all the macroeconomics in your post to suggest some experiences I’ve dealt with in recessions over the past few decades. First of all, few of us clearly understand national or international economic trends and forces such as inflation, deflation, etc., etc. What people DO understand are layoffs, salary cuts, bonus cuts, foreclosures, unpaid bills, etc.

I’m guessing, but for most subs, having sessions is a hobby, a luxury really, to indulge when things are normal or better than normal for us economically. When a downturn like this happens consumers cut back on “entertainment,” for us, sessions. Even if we are supposedly “devoted” or “addicted” to our Mistresses, anyone with some discipline or common sense will cut back.

That happened in two recessions I remember, the 2008-09 “Great Recession” and one during the 1980s. Dominas that I knew got hit hard. There was no way to increase prices, in fact they were lucky of regulars (like me) visited. I heard stories that some subs called around for “deals.”

Between subs getting hit with a recession and fears of infection due to the pandemic, and Dominas being impacted by fewer sessions, in practical terms I doubt prices will go up anytime soon. I am certainly not wishing ill will on any Dominas make more $$$ but given the dumpster fire year 2020 is, that is just my opinion.
