To make that $3000 at her normal rate she would have had to work 30 hours in that same week, which I bet is a tall order for all the unpaid hours that takes attracting customers individually.
Not to mention her luxury room and board, the shopping sprees, and the jewelry gifts.
Someone doesn’t get the differences between contractor and salaried.
6 days with 1 john is probably a lot less work than 30 1 hour sessions with varying johns. Also getting a discount when buying in bulk is pretty common with most goods. Not sure if it’s so with sex work in real life tho.
It’s definitely way less work. If you get hired for an hour, you’re pretty much expected to be fully engaged in, if not sex, then at least being entertaining in some way. With the type of sex work she did, she was never getting paid for time spent sleeping or eating (and definitely not hanging out and shopping), unless that was someone’s kink, I guess. I had a series of sugar daddies in my early 20s, and don’t let anyone tell you that’s not sex work, and I definitely made less per hour than a more traditional prostitute, but I also put in a lot less energy. Plus, it came with a lot more perks.
Also I don’t think people realize how much time a (skilled / knowledgeable) sex worker spends vetting their clients. They’re one of the easiest and therefore most common demographics targeted by people who literally just wanna rape-torture-murder someone for varying to absolutely no reason. As a result a lot of sex workers have shared blacklists, some ask for references, some do background checks, some don’t work alone, etc. Only having to do that once or even not at all once the john is well-known is a huge time-and-effort saver, even if you ignore the fact that it’s just literally safer to take a chance on one man murdering you instead of five.
The only institution that performs more criminal and social background checks than the ATF and intelligence apparatus is America’s network of communicating sex workers.
Yeah, like she has usually 8 clients a day…
I mean one guy can only bust so many nuts… now if she had a guy every couple hours filling her full of cum… Well you see now why she takes the cum sum instead of individual deposits…a lot more work
Well, she’s advertised as a pretty woman, not a smart one.
And now, with a little less jest: It’s a stable income over a week, with a guy she evidently likes to at least look at. No need for advertising in that time. Meals are paid, as is time off. Also, the 21$ assume that she is paid 24 hours a day (3000$ ÷ 24 ÷ 6 = 20,83333…$) so she gets paid for sleeping, eating, essentially her own time. She also gets the opportunity to scout new, well off clients.
I would take that deal.
If you calculated it as 8 hours a day of work it would work out to $62.5/hour
i mean it’s just a discount like when you’re buying things in bulk, it makes sense
3k pays your rent in San Fran with cash left over in that time period…ur damn right she’s hanging out with a rich dude and getting spoiled for a week and her rent paid. Mf out here acting like they’re breaking down door dash hourly.
Lmfao not even close. We’ll actually kinda close but still depressingly short. Doable with a roommate. She doesn’t seem like the roomie type
That film was released in 1990, rents were lower back then
Even if you assume 8hr days that’s $63/hr, sizable drop from 100
Unpaid travel time between 8 different clients would make an 8 hour day much more than 8 hours
It’s also 8 hrs/day she doesn’t have random sweaty fat guys dumping loads in her. Anyone who doesn’t take that deal is either Ayn Rand level deranged or has beaten life and found their true passion
But think how many fewer cocks it is to deal with.
Plot twist: Richard Gere was actually George Washington!
Non American here: I don’t get it. How many cocks did Washington have?
Oh I see. So he was like a proto-American Brian Blessed.
The cum to USD ratio is actually quite competitive
As others pointed out, a lot of factors would go into this decision. How many working hours can she normally put in if the average client only pays for an hour? How much time does she have to spend cleaning herself up between? How much risk is there in taking a new client?
Its pretty similar to working freelance compared to a paycheck. If I wanted to go on my own as a freelancer I could probably charge 2-3x my hourly salary rate as a freelancer. But I’d have to hunt for my next meal. I’d have to figure out all my 1099s. I’d have to change stragies to get new clients… Or I can just work my current corpo job making an OK salary but always know I have a paycheck coming and insurance.
I never said it was a bad deal. As long as both parties are satisfied with their end of the bargain, it’s about as good as it gets.
The implication is clear. The art of the deal?
Every time she puts on her Jammies, I imagine she’s excited to wake up 160 dollars richer.
The art of the deal.
man give money
6 days of work, 8 hours x $21/hr x6 days is only $1008
He’s paying her for 24 hours a day, silly
And who was paying her 24 hr / day before Richard Gere’s character came along?
just a bulk purchase
With sleep, meals, etc included. She was even making money while pooping. This was clearly a win for her.
I’m sure a lot of sex workers make money while pooping.
Oh my god…where…tell me so I can avoid places where such disgusting things are happening.
cleveland?
They don’t call it the Cleveland steamroller for nothing.
steamer. Cleveland steamer.
Jesus Christ. steamroller? only once. too painful.
$3,000 was $7,209 in 2024 money (from 1990). $21/hr. would be $50 in 2024 money.
