Now its $200 for 1 hour, most do 1 pop only (many LA providers offer MSOG and other extras but rate is $250-$300), BBBJ or CBJ, only a few do CIM and almost always CFS. That's for AAMPs. For escorts, it can get a lot more expensive. Same service. You might find some that do greek.

30 years ago for MP, pay house fee and then negotiate for extras. ~$20 for HJ (extra if she takes off clothes and allow some touching), $40-$60 for CBJ and something like $80-$100 for CFS. If may be a little more now and I hear you do some weird hand signal non-verbal communication to get what you want (Don't know why you can't just say what you want and ask how much. Using hand signals is still soliciting). Then if your donation is weak (ie. not enough), she gives you a "is that all" look (or becomes more verbal).

Currently the price for full service is between $160 to $200.

You our confused I believe, and thinking the price of admission

does not include full service. At AAMP's the rate quoted is all

inclusive. If you go too a AMP then you will pay $45/1/2 hour up

to $60/$70 for full hr. to the establishment and then have too tip

between $40 and $120 for service depending on the girl and what

you want. $40-$60/H.E. by Hand - $80. for B.J. - $100 or more

for F.S. You can still get full service today at many AAMP.s for $140

to $160. for a 1/2 hour. The $160/hr. RA's will sometimes do 1/2 hr.

for $120.

The big event in your time gap was the 2005 law enforcement raid on SF AMPs, known on Redbook as Black Thursday. Search on that term in the archives and you will find a ton of information. Several of the most-popular AMPs closed immediately after the raid, including Golden Flower, Dragon, and King's. Lee's managed to stay open for another year or two, but they eventually closed.

Some of the smaller AMPs have managed to stay open, but it's not the same. The city has forced them to replace beds with massage tables, and they sometimes try to enforce a requirement that the RAs wear non-revealing clothing. The quality and quantity of RAs is down, and most AMPs no longer offer a lineup. Overall, the quality of the experience in SF is way down.

My take on prices is that they are rising in response to the reduction in competition and the increase in risk. Then again, maybe it is just an irrational reaction to the recession: "business is down, so we must raise prices to make up the shortfall." Never mind that higher prices will drive even more customers away.

The other big development during your time gap is the rise of apartment AMPs (AAMPs), which are concentrated in the South Bay. Top-tier AAMP girls tend to offer better service, better looks, and similar or lower prices that SF AMP girls. On the other hand, you have to make an appointment in advance, you don't get a lineup, and it can be a long drive if you live in SF or the East Bay. Nevertheless, I find myself driving down to San Jose frequently and seldom visiting my old haunts like Empire, Palm Tree, and CEO.

Do you make the same money now that you did in 2003?

Personally, I'm still paying the same total donation I paid seven years ago. And like a lot of RBers, I'm doing that a lot less than before.
