Has Covid sunk demand?

Traffic is down. And will stay down until that vaccine gets handed out or we achieve herd immunity. But the biggest problem is the lack of cleaning in some SP places. If you both wear masks and use condoms or dams that should be fine, the worry is generally not the SP but who her last customer was and what did he/she leave as trace. Sheets need changing and so do towels. Obvious right? apparently not to everyone.

Correct, but we have no official statistics, but we can safely assume that the number of johns have decreased. But, we can also safely assume, that the number of SPs have also decreased.
Agree. I looked at it strictly from the demand size, as was asked by OP. Less hobbiers means less demand.

If there are less SPs, that is the supply side. Economics says that demand, supply and costs will find an equilibrium.

That's a good point - both the supply curve and demand curve has decreased, not enough to change the price either way. Price elasticity is unchanged.

Would make sense. If the same-ish about off SPs and clients decreased in the same manner, then there would be no real change in the supply and demand ratios which would mean no need for pricing changes.
 
Why are you repeating exactly what I said and saying that I am wrong?🤪
Why cant you admit you're wrong, shack??

When you have not as many hobbyists, you have less demand.
And when there are not as many SPs, then thats the supply side

Sheesh :rolleyes:

You explained it better than Mr. KIA.

I thought that it was like this:
Less hobbiers means less demand.

If there are less SPs, that is the supply side.
Thanks Phil.

Strip clubs , restaurants and massage places are closed. Escorts are the only form of entertainment for many. Prices have remained the same or gone up since Covid started. I would say the sw business is as busy as ever.

Not what I'm hearing.

OTOH, there will always be stars who pre book 100% with a waiting list.

I believe that prices are staying the same because supply side expects things to return to normal in a couple of months and is willing to live with fewer customers and less income to maintain the price structure at an advantageous level and not compromise it.
