Ha! Yes, that's one way to put it! And I thought my hiking/backpacking hobby was expensive.

Also, there is price variance depending on your location. I grew up in New Jersey and the cost of living before I left was astronomical. I could never afford to live there in my career...I'd have to make more than double my salary to have the same standard of living. I would imagine a session with a Domme in NYC is much higher even than what has been mentioned here as about a standard rate.
