I've never heard a punter mention Tinder or other dating sites either; the occasional one who's tried out the 'sugar' sites yes. In my experience they found it far too much like hard work and prefer the straightforward £X for X time and X services approach.

Obviously the ones who didn't won't have come back to tell me about it, but these sites aren't having any noticeable effect on business for me (and that's not because my clients are all butt ugly and grim, either - far from it). Either way the idea that casual sex is a new thing that will destroy the paid sex industry is just odd.

I honestly can't see the industry dying. I am no less popular now, than i was when i started. I am also incredibly vanilla! Only things really causing a decrease for some people is more competition, poor marketing, poor service or overcharging. Probably other factors too, but those are the main ones i can see.
