Well, sorry to make your stomach churn. I've had fun ones, and I've had dud ones, and I prefer to avoid the duds if at all possible. At US$100 if you get a dud it's no huge deal except for the time wasted, but at US$650 and up a bad performer can be a real drag.

Anyway, if it makes you feel better the conversation and feel-up in the bar isn't for free. The girls there make a commission on the drinks I buy and the drinks bought for them. In every respect it's like an "extras" strip bar.

DHes make HK$4000 (US$520) a month. Their room and board is provided by the employer, and they are given five days off per month. On those five days, the ones who are on the game like to go out, chat with friends, drink, dance and have a meal, and some of them choose to get fucked by some man who pays them at least HK$800 for the afternoon. With the drinks bought for them there's usually another HK$200 in it, plus a good performer or a really hot one may get put on a retainer by a "boyfriend". And she'll still go out and get fucked when he's away on business.
