Thanks to everyone for the input. The problem is that I have not been sessioning for that long and didn't know that rates had stayed steady for so long. I've been seeing mistresses for about 5 years and it just seemed that rates went up suddenly. I had no idea they were the same for 10-15yrs in some cases. The ladies are correct. Everything has increased in that time. And I get paid more than I did 10 years ago so why shouldn't they? I am not cheap. In fact I am always suspicious when someone is lower than everyone else in an area. It make me wonder if there is a problem like she won't look like her pictures or her dungeon isn't that nice. I would rather pay more and get what I pay for. Thanks all.
