The MA scene seems to be like a cracker jack box to a lot of us, there's no way of knowing what the actual prize is until you get there.
Is it me or has the offering in the region gone down the tube

Very true, you never know how it'll go with an unknown in the SP world but you can easily budget the event and I think that's the biggest difference, knowing what to bring in order to get the play value you hope to get. Also, 140 is a lot different than 180 plus for a working stiff, that 40 bucks is often gas money for your budget.
As someone who hobbied when there were actual agencies in this city, it was ten thousand times more convenient for the customer. You could see who all was on that night by looking at the agency posting, call any night, and almost every single time have a great experience for about 20 bucks more than what the going independent rate was. It was a sure thing. Now there are no agencies because "we arent Toronto or Montreal", even though we had them before and werent Toronto or Montreal. Yes, there were expensive options back then too, but you could have a sure thing, from a known entity, for 140hh. People can charge what they want and run any sort of enterprise they chose, but I do miss the agency days and I'm one of those who are less likely to spend without the "safety" and ease of selection that came with an agency.

Massages should definitely cost less. If they're approaching the rate of fs it doesn't make sense
if they take time off, if usually because they have it in their bank. I don't know
That doesn't make any sense. If the law makes it forbidden to operate an agency then why is there dozens of agencies operating between Toronto and Montreal and why can't Ottawa have a single agency. Are the laws in Ottawa different than MTL and Toronto? I don't think so.
And yet there are how many agencies in Toronto and Montreal?If it ever come legal to have an agency , I would gladly open one. I wish I could have an agency offering good working conditions for providers and peace of mind for clients.
As a provider in the industry for a long time , I understand the struggle of being indy and I also understand clients needs. I wish I could open an agency where the girls could keep their money like a non lucrative organisation. I have no idea how I would do that , but I am sure between girls we could find a way.
Right now the law is simply made in a way that it makes it illegal to operate an agency , but if only the gouv could evolve and work with us instead of against us.
Oh well ... It doesn’t cost anything to dream
The problem here in Ottawa is that there are only so many people in a city who want to get into that particular type of business, and the one's here who do, have chosen to operate spas rather than agencies.
Doesnt seem to bother the people in Montreal or Toronto, they must know they arent going to get charged.
They know how to operate in the grey zone. An agency can operate through loopholes, but yeah, you are walking on egg shells basically.
Probably starts with canvassing politicians. No one thought that pot would be legal 10 or 15 years ago.
That's great.You dont want to open an agency, we get that. I wish you well in your current and future opportunities. However, the fact that probably 20 agencies are advertising, TODAY, on Terb on the Toronto page tells me they know they can make money and avoid any troubles. So they do exist, people are able to run them without getting into difficulties and there's more than enough money to go around.
Back to pricing.
I may be the only one in this thread to say it, but there is no way that 120.00 or 140.00 is pocket change.
If someone wants to charge you more, and you are willing to pay that amount, then all the best to you.
With the rates as high as they are now, I will hold onto my money a while longer.
Services provided by the plethora of providers is extremely inconsistent in quality and services actually offered.
There is no way I will accept that the current rates are the new minimum wage for a provider.
Good luck to you all.

As consumers, I think we'd be better served by having a number of Agencies to chose from. Bring back the days of Pink Kitty and the two Asian agencies (albeit with more legit staffing). It would keep the price stable for us, provide for ease of booking and peace of mind with the knowledge that this is a quality Agency with quality people working for it.
The system as it is, is useless and that's why people go to spas, it's an easy choice. There's a reason agencies exist, so the consumer doesnt have to run around and filter through scams. He/she gets a quality experience with little delay, really thats all any of us want. Not everyone wants to spend 300-400 hr, that market will always be there though so those providers will always make money. Where there IS a market, is for the consumer who will pay 160 hhr for a known entity in a safe environment. There's a lot of money being left on the table here, it's truly surprising that no one is attempting to take that $ with an agency, particularly with all the safe govt and high tech salaries here.
I think it's great that you charge what you charge. Everyone should have that right and that freedom.I might get lapidated (not sure it’s a real word) , but since we are in the subject I would like to explain my side of the « rates upgrade »..
I am answering to clients and reading Terb almost everyday and what I see is that you guys want reasonable rates. BUT .. You also want Dfk , upscale location, none rush service, great connection , daty, dato , Bj & Fs.
When I first started in this industry , the only thing the guys were looking for was sf2 , hj and bs.
The rates was matching the services.
Now the services wanted have upgraded and it’s natural I guess. Everything evolve (well most everything) , but you still are looking for the same rates.
All of this doesn’t necessarily apply to me since like everybody knows , I am anal on my no fluids exchange policy. But I still receive tons of inquiries and I would say that a good 50% are about the services I just listed.
To be very blunt (not in a negative way) how are we (providers) are supposed to deal with the upgrade of services and refusal to upgrade the rates ?
Just nicely asking your 50 cents.
Ps.Fibrewax, I am glad you enjoyed your session
7 Toronto Agencies advertising today on Terb and 16 Toronto Agencies advertising yesterday.
