Pricing - for doubles

[Zeus]

A question for the ladies and their employers / establishments.

Why is the cost of a "double". twice the price of a single booking?

OK - so hear me out.

As I understand it, the house split the fee paid by the punter. In most cases it is a 50:50 split but this can vary. Essentially the fee earned by the house is for providing the facility/ room. I would imagine that some of the house fee goes to providing towels / linen etc.

So, if one books a double, only a single room is used. only one set of linen and one set of towels are used.
Why does the house charge twice as much as they should? This sounds like double dipping to me.
In fact, if I made two separate bookings (currently the same price as booking a double), the establishment would lose their room for two hours (as compared to one hour for a double) and they would have to supply twice as many towels and twice as much lined.

Just doesn't make sense.

Now from the ladies point of view.
During a single booking, the lady has "X" amount of "work" to do in order to satisfy the client.

One can only imagine that two ladies combined would each have to do a lot less "work" than "X" to satisfy the same client.?????

So is my logic flawed? Yes I know it is 2:50 am and yes, I know I have had one or two beers this evening, but I am really keen to get some feedback on this.

TIA.

I have wondered the exact same thing!

Sometimes beer makes us think a lot clearer... I know I would indulge in doubles much more often (as opposed to once, ever) if they cost around 50%, rather than 100%, more than a single lady.

Personally I see the rate as a charge for my time more than service (with a couple of exceptions e.g. BDSM or Greek) and I think there are a lot of WL's that see it that way. I do understand what you are getting at though

 

[XLNC]

I can appreciate that perspective, Miss Chloe. Lawyers bill us for their time and screw us too.

 

[Parsival]

From time to time I engage legal firms to undertake work for the company I work for. If I have two of the legal firm's partners in the law firm's meeting room I pay 2 x hourly partner rate x number of hours. Not disimillar given hourly rate also covers fixed overheads. Guess I'm getting "screwed" in this scenario as well but far less enjoyable than a double!

I personally think I work just as much in a double as I do in a single booking.

For example in a single booking the client gets a massage, oral on him and straight sex.

In my doubles I include a fair few extras for the same amount of $$ as a single. Such as ball licking, anal fingering (on him) Toy show and mutual masturbation. Plus if it's a double with Kitty we do a bi double free of charge (saving the client $200!!)

Ball licking is actually a lot harder then one would think haha underneath my tongue gets pretty sore *giggle giggle* plus add another girl sucking the guy and it's even harder to try and do it with a head in the way lol

I think you are paying for taking two girls off of the floor (that could of been taken off for one single client each, so two seperate rooms).

You actually use more linen in a double then in a single booking.

Some doubles we have ended up using over 8 towels and 4 sheets (some girls are squirters you know!!!) hehe

Hope this helps xx

Bottom line both ladys need to make full coin or why bother

hi all . what Zeus is asking is why is the punter being charged 2 x times for the room not that the ladies get paid less .

50% of the fee is for the room and if he has booked 2 ladies in the 1 room @ the same time then he is paying for the room with both ladies . why is the question .

I agree, of course both girls should get their normal fee each, but why should the house get double for the provision of the same room? It could be a good business move. Now you'd have to pay $800 foa a one hour double. If it was $600 overall business might be increased for both the girls and the house!

I assume its because you are removing the possibility of the second lady spending time with another punter in a different room.. After all the facility has to make money in order to stay open..

I wonder - do the ladies get paid a nominal hourly amount from the business on top of their takings? this may factor in - however this may be completely wrong - I have no idea of the pay schedule...

I suppose this must be the reason.

Still a little bit of a discount would be appreciated

 

[AxeMan]

Another one I find interesting is that an hour booking is not double to the cost of a half hour booking but a two hour or more booking is usually just double, triple etched the hourly booking.

I presume it is probably impossible to book multiple separate hour bookings back to back with no buffer time (hence the reason half hour bookings are more per minute) so why not a similar reduction for multi hour bookings?

I'm sure the businesses have done their maths and have a solid reason for their systems, but I'm still interested in the answer.

Incall:
20 minute - 200
40 minute - 300
1 Hour - 400
2 Hours - 750
Extra Hrs - 350

Using Langtrees as the example... For the first hour, after the first $200 time chunk the punter is essentially paying only 100 dollars for each additional 20 minutes up until the hour mark. For an average price of $133 per 20 minutes. When you go over the limit you may pay in hour chunks, but only at an average of $116 per 20 minutes. A discount of 17 dollars per 20 minutes.

You are getting a discount. The laws of supply and demand just dictate the discount isn't as large as you would like it to be.



The reason you aren't getting a bigger discount is two fold. Firstly the number of punters that are willing to pay the above prices are enough that they don't consider price readjustment. On the supply side, the providers make enough with the above price schedule that they can retain their prices and the lifestyles they have become accustomed to with no real need for worry.

If business sustained much growth you may see those prices go up. Punters reduce the amount they spend with any one establishment, you may see the price go down due to competition from other establishments. Quite simply, they charge those prices because they can.

 

[AxeMan]

Thanks user184. Hadn't actually looked at Langtrees price list. Was going off a different establishment. Each to their own I suppose..

 

[User184]

Oh, I was just using it as an example. The principle remains the same. They charge it because they can.

If you look between your thighs and you see boy parts attached to your body then you have to pay "end of story" as the saying goes, "Who ever has the pussy makes the rules' .... if you can not afford the hourly rate at Langtrees then why not do shorter duration bookings with the same service provider, win/win I see that..

 

[bushseeker]

You need to see privates for big discounts on say 3 hr bookings
getting clients to the door is such a stuff around a smart lady will take a substantial discount for a confirmed client for 3 hours than go through the stuff around and Hassel of dealing with multiple guys

I don't know what formulas the houses have used to calculate this. But if I was to be privately charging my prices would reflect savings for an hour and more..
A forty minute booking or a half hour booking is quite taxing on our bodies. Three or four of those in a night is harder on me than four hour bookings.
Generally in half hour, or forty minutes the punter believes he is in a race and can really do some damage.
My half hour price would never be half the price of an hour.

Also the double price I know seems like a legit argument.
-Ginger is right, I work harder in a double
-House is sacrificing two ladies ie the ability to have both girls booked out at the same time
-I think to think less about the room hire and more about the labour?

My first ever booking was a double.. I do enjoy them

Couldn't agree more.
Business tactics make sense to limit exposure x
