I wonder how many people see my advert but quickly scroll past because they see the minimum fee is £160.
Some advertising directories place the minimum fee high in the listing, so it's the first thing you see.
My £160 is alongside many listings that are around £60, which might make you wonder if there is a typo somewhere.
Dig deeper. Take a few minutes to look at the listings.
The most obvious difference is that my listing is for a 90-minute massage, which takes place within a two-hour time slot. In other words, I charge £80 per hour. The £60 adverts are typically for a 30-minute session.
It is not that one is better or worse; it is that they are very different things.
On a per-minute basis, the £60 session is more expensive, not cheaper.
But it is like comparing apples and perfume; they aren't the same thing. A quickie is one thing; a relaxed morning is quite different.

Reassuringly expensive is the phrase that comes to mind.

There are plenty of other differences between services on offer.
One thing you should know is that many of the people offering massage have minimal or no training in massage. They are making it up as they go along. Some of us are qualified and experienced.
Another thing to check is what is actually on offer.
For some people, the term "massage" is a euphemism for many sexual services, including full sex. Getting you to do more and pay more might be a part of the process. This should be clear in the advertising, but sometimes it isn't.
I offer a massage. I'm qualified and experienced, and I only use my hands. And there will be no extra charges.
***
To sum up:
* In the UK, in 2024, you should expect to pay around £100 per hour for an erotic sensual massage.
* But you need to do a little more research to make sure you are 100% clear about what is on offer.
Many masseuses have a minimum 2-hour booking slot. Some people offer a 30-minute massage, which will be very different.
