Crazy Session Prices on Tryst Guide!

I was shocked to see the insane session prices listed by newbie Domme's on Tryst I wonder if these "Domme's" are serious, or just blowing smoke up each others posterior's?

I am using this Tryst profile as an example. She may not be a newbie, but a $2000 minimum is truly an insane amount of money. TrystLink.

I'll point out a few things.

First, a very popular and massive female bodybuilder is said to have begun offering "dominant" or role play sessions. "No sexual activity" is in her listings and rumor has it she is changing $1000 an hour. Due to the rumor part of the story I'm not mentioning her name. While she has done tons of videos (the overwhelming majority not BDSM or wrestling) who knows what her true skills are?

Second, in my experience when it comes to recessions like we are in, or about to plunge in, now, Mistresses have been hit hard in the past. Fewer sessions made some Mistresses offer discounts. I don't wish that on anyone but the types of subs that don't have a ton of discretionary dollars will abstain on live or even online sessions for a time.

Third, about the "crazy sessions prices on Tryst" specifically, who knows what the real deal is. Could be findoms, newbies entering the scene or other things. I'm not an economist but more entertainment businesses - sports, movies, live music, etc. - in the past decade are going for the upscale market and not catering to middle class pocketbooks. Basically more money, but less work (more free time). Nice work if you can get it. We'll soon see how this goes.

I don't begrudge someone with rare qualifications, such as being an established female bodybuilder, from charging whatever they wish. They have something unique to offer that few others can.

Why does Mike Trout make $37 million a year? Because he is one of the very few people on the planet who can regularly whack 100 MPH fastballs over the fence. If you could do that then you'd also be making buckets of money.

Thanks for reminding Me to update My rates on there ;-)

I get what you say about the newbies. I think a lot of less established people are just slinging mud on the wall to see what sticks. Quite frankly, I went close to a decade without raising rates. I've raised them twice since the pandemic.

Atlanta now has the same cost of living as London or Sydney (source = numbeo website) and we all feel it here. It's a shock to the system for a city that historically had a low cost of living.

As a side note, I am encountering the have/have not economy. I seldom get asked for 90 minute sessions, but the amount of requests for 3+ hours and multiple provider sessions has risen significantly.

Speaking of newbies, here is an example of an incoherent Eros guide ad.

Do NOT mistake lack of professional pictures for lack of experience. I have been actively participating in the BDSM lifestyle for over 15 years, growing in My Dominance, and learning but not active for a decade before that. Let Me take your hand and I'll help you grow in your submission.

People can charge whatever they want. Don't like it? Don't book them. Complaining about it is completely boring when you can just pick someone else.

But you're here, on this board, aghast, because you can't figure out why people charge more.

Reasons:
- biz expenses, like dungeon rentals or hiring security
- standard of living in their area
- special wardrobe/gear/skills
- offering more than classic BDSM, such as escorting
- really good at what they do and know it
- prefer to have fewer sessions and make more with each
- new and are trying to see what they can get
- scammer
- wants to piss you off

That'll teach these guys to complain about rates.

Every time you guys do we'll just all go raise them. LOL!



Same here.

You're not very good at analogies.



Sorry you're broke and can't afford it. Have a nice day.

I stuck with $250 an hour, for more years than I'd like to admit. Our current level of inflation has caused me to raise my rate to $300. I spend a lot of time on the road. With hotels and flights what they are. I'm going to have to raise my travel rates in the near future.

I live in 2 high cost city with some great Dommes that charge between 300-400/hr.

I also see Tryst rates up to about 700-1200/hr. Most of the time that is for Sex not domination. Ive always been surprised by the price premium on actually having sex as ive always found great dommes are harder to find, they have to invest more in equipment, and work way harder during a session.

I also occasionally see some posts where An escort offers BDSM but charges more for it than sex. Ive always wondered if this is an example of “i really dont want to do it, so ill set my price to truly make it worth my time”

Whatever the reasons, I dont begrudge anyone for setting their rates where they see fit and reaping the rewards and consequences of those decisions. Like any service, If i dont see value in the price i just wont engage.

On a different note, Like others have mentioned in my personal business i have noticed a shift in high end customers willing to spend more but fewer overall customers. It feels like the 80/20 rule is becoming more like 95/20.

i'm a younger gen z and recent grad, working warehouse less than 20$ definitely makes femdom sessions more difficult.. I wonder if I should focus on physique and start an OnlyFans.

Its a funny world when sex work earns more than nurse or doctor. It truly is a femdom.

Some entrepreneurs and hard working business owners, of any trade, have been earning more than the average nurse and doctor, for years. I say average nurse and doctor because there is a huge difference among professionals in the medical field. A friend of mine has her masters in nursing and pulls in 300k managing the cancer floor at a large hospital. Other nurses are making $40. an hour with only their RN and less drive. The same pay scale variance is true of any profession, including prodom. At the end of the day, people most often, get the quality of service they pay for. I don't know what to say about the Tryst prices or if the women on there are actually even doing live sessions. But, in the true session world, the current prices are more than justified for an experienced and well equipped dominatrix.
