This article explores Web site content and differences in advertised rates among a sample of 839 independent female online escorts operating their own Web sites in major metropolitan areas in the United States. Statistical analyses of escorts' rates indicate pricing variation across cities in which escorts advertise; the number of cities and Websites in which they advertise; whether they travel to areas beyond their primary locality to meet clients; their age and stated racial/ethnic/sexual identity; the Internet platforms on which they advertise; and how they present themselves and their services on their Web pages. These relationships between business strategies of independent escorts and their published rates shed light on client preferences and market demand. Our findings provide important new insights into independent online escorts' business strategies and financial tactics and identify factors impacting perceived market value for escort services. This research supports emerging literature indicating that clients of independent online escorts will pay more for particular provider characteristics, dispositions, and services, and they most highly value erotic services that are seductive and mirror the qualities of nonremunerative sexual exchange, often described as the "girlfriend experience" (GFE).
本文探讨了美国主要大都市地区 839 名独立女性在线应召女郎的网站内容和广告费率差异。对应召女郎费率的统计分析表明，她们在广告的城市之间存在价格差异；她们广告的城市和网站数量；她们是否会前往除主要所在地以外的地区接待客户；她们的年龄以及自我描述的种族/民族/性别身份；她们在哪些互联网平台上做广告；以及她们如何在自己的网页上展示自己和服务。独立应召女郎的商业策略与她们公布的费率之间的这些关系，揭示了客户偏好和市场需求。我们的研究结果为独立在线应召女郎的商业策略和财务策略提供了重要的新见解，并确定了影响应召服务市场价值的因素。这项研究支持了新兴文献的观点，即独立在线应召女郎的客户会为特定的服务提供商特征、性格和服务支付更高的费用，他们最看重具有诱惑性并反映非有偿性性交易品质的色情服务，通常被称为“女朋友体验”（GFE）。
