Laid out calmly, side by side
Hire a Gigolo Through an Agency or Directly?
Looking around at different gigolos? Smart. Below I lay out the differences, so you can see for yourself what fits you.
Hiring a gigolo directly is always cheaper: an agency adds fifteen to thirty percent brokerage on top of the rate, and often a surcharge when there are two of you. What an agency gives back is availability and a stand-in if someone drops out. With me it’s €250 an hour, you speak with me beforehand, and I’m the one at your door.
Why comparing is worth it
Choosing a gigolo isn’t something you do on the fly. It’s about trust, and about things you may never have said out loud to anyone. It makes sense that you’d want to know who you’re dealing with first.
And the differences are big. One works through an agency, another books directly. With one it stays at companionship, with another much more is possible. You only notice that on the evening itself, and by then there’s nothing left to choose.
That’s why this page exists. I put the options side by side, including the points where I’m not the best choice. As far as I’m concerned, I’d rather you chose someone else on purpose than chose me halfway.
Directly, through an agency, or budget
Below are the three routes you’ll come across in the Netherlands. The columns about agencies and budget providers are general: there are decent agencies and there are bad ones, and that holds on every side. Where I’m not sure, it says “varies”.
| What | Directly with me | Through an agency | Budget provider |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hourly rate | €250 an hour | Often from €500 per 2 hours | €100 to €150 an hour |
| Packages | €500 (2 hours) to €3,400 (full day) | Varies by agency | Usually per hour |
| Brokerage fee | None | 15% to 30% on top of the rate | Varies |

| Who shows up at your door | Always me | Sometimes a stand-in | Varies |
| Meeting beforehand | Yes, message or call | Rarely | Rarely |

What does a gigolo cost in the Netherlands?
Roughly, you’ll see three price ranges. What you get for it varies a lot, and the cheapest option is rarely the cheapest experience.
| Range | Indication | What you usually get |
|---|---|---|
| Budget | €100 to €150 an hour | Companionship, little preparation, variable experience |
| Mid-range | €200 to €300 an hour | Professional, good communication, limited specialties |
| Premium | €300 to €500 an hour | Broad experience, thorough preparation, specialties |
| Through an agency | €500+ per 2 hours | A choice of several gigolos, plus brokerage fees |
At €250 an hour I sit in the mid-range, but without brokerage fees and without surcharges. Book a package and it works out cheaper per hour: €500 for two hours, €950 for half a day, €2,500 for an overnight stay and €3,400 for a full day. Several days is possible too, though that takes planning well ahead.
What do I offer and what don’t I?
Not every gigolo does the same thing, and that’s just as well. Below, by theme, is what you can expect with me, and where it often falls apart elsewhere.

Weighing it up honestly
Why direct often works better
- You pay no brokerage fees, so for the same money you get more time.
- From the first message you’re in contact with the person who’ll be sitting across from you.
- Nothing gets lost in translation, because there’s no one in between.
- Planning and adjusting go faster, even if you want to change something at the last minute.
- You can already hear in the messaging whether it clicks. That saves an expensive disappointment.
Where direct falls short
- You don’t get a choice of several people. It’s me, or it’s someone else.
- You arrange everything with me, and there’s no company behind me to take over if I fall ill.
- If I’m not available on your date, that’s the end of it.
- Some women prefer a go-between. More businesslike, less direct. That’s a perfectly good reason to choose an agency.
Why an agency can work
- A choice of several gigolos in one place.
- A formal setup with fixed arrangements and paperwork.
- A name that’s been around a while, which puts some women at ease.
Where an agency disappoints
- 15 to 30% brokerage fees on top of the rate.
- You communicate with someone who won’t be there that evening.
- Whether it clicks still has to show when you meet.
- Telling a third party about wishes that are personal or exciting. That rarely works well.
- Your details go into a client database and the books. Databases like that get hacked, and then they’re out in the open. With me, that database doesn’t exist.
- ID verification sounds safe, but then your identity document sits in a database like that too. That’s why I never ask for it.
How do you choose?
An agency suits you if you’d rather arrange things through a go-between and want a choice of several people. You accept the extra costs as part of the deal.
A budget provider makes sense if price is the deciding factor and you’re mainly after companionship, without specialty or preparation.
Directly with me works if you want to feel beforehand whether it clicks and you value a talk about wishes and boundaries. Especially if you’re looking for something specific. And if you have no patience for amounts that only show up on the bill.
There’s no right or wrong here. Only what fits you. Usually you know that sooner than you think, after a few messages back and forth.
Frequently asked questions
What women ask before they choose.
What is the difference between an agency and booking directly?
With an agency the contact runs through a staff member and you pay fifteen to thirty percent brokerage on top of the rate. On top of that, you often don’t know who’s coming until the evening itself, because a stand-in is allowed. Booking directly, you message with me, you pay only the rate, and I’m the one at your door. What an agency gives back is availability and a backup if someone drops out.
What does a gigolo cost in the Netherlands?
Roughly €100 to €500 an hour, depending on whether you’re with a budget provider, in the mid-range or premium, and whether an agency sits in between charging brokerage on top. With me it’s €250 an hour, a two-hour minimum. The full explanation with all the amounts is on Pricing.
Do I pay extra when there are two of us?
Not with me: you pay for the time, not per person. Plenty of agencies do charge a couple extra and rarely put that up front, so ask about it explicitly when you compare. More about what is and isn’t included in the rate is on Pricing.
Are there any extra costs?
Only travel costs and parking, if any. Travel costs depend on your province, from €75 in North Holland to €375 in Limburg, and you know the amount before you say yes. No surcharge for the night, the weekend or coming as a couple. The table is on Pricing.
Can I meet first before I book?
Yes, and it costs nothing. A phone or video call is always an option, and a coffee date is fine too. With an agency that’s rarely possible, because there you speak to a staff member beforehand and not the person who comes. How booking works from there is on Booking.
How do I recognize someone it'll click with?
Notice how you’re treated before the date. Do you get an answer to your actual question, or a stock reply that fits anywhere? Is there follow-up, or does it go straight to dates and amounts? That tells you more than any profile text ever could.
Do you offer BDSM?
Yes, as a full service and not as an add-on at extra cost. Bondage, dominance and power play, always with a talk beforehand about boundaries and a safeword, and with aftercare afterward. I’ve been active in BDSM since 1990, so you don’t have to explain anything you’d otherwise have to explain to someone else. More is on BDSM date.
What is aftercare and why does it matter?
Which regions do you work in?
All across the Netherlands, and in Belgium and Germany in consultation. I come to you; the travel costs depend on your province and run from €75 in North Holland to €375 in Limburg. You know that amount before you say yes. For abroad and multi-day dates I set one price that covers everything.
Why are there no other names on this page?
Because it isn’t about running anyone down. I compare ways of working and costs, so you can see for yourself how a provider scores on the points that matter to you. There are decent agencies and there are bad ones, and the same goes for independents. Naming a name says nothing about that; the columns do.
Is a gigolo registered with the Chamber of Commerce or does he have a sex-work permit?
Not me, and that’s a deliberate choice. Anyone who registers as a gigolo or applies for a permit ends up in a (public) register with their name, address and activity. Registers like that get resold, and now and then one gets hacked and all the data ends up out in the open. Then every connection to that name traces back to sex work. Yours included. That’s why my gigolo service is registered nowhere. You pay in cash, in Bitcoin, or by bank through my coaching practice. What does say something: reviews, visible prices and direct contact.
What happens to my data if an agency gets hacked?
An agency always keeps a client database and a set of books. Your name, your number and what you booked sit there in a database, often for years. Files like that get hacked, and it’s gone wrong before with exactly this kind of service. What criminals do with it ranges from blackmail to phishing and identity fraud, and with a sensitive date that’s the last thing you want. With me there’s nothing to leak. I work without an agency, I keep no file, and whatever isn’t needed disappears once our date is over.
Isn't an agency with ID verification actually safer?
Not necessarily: verification mainly protects the agency, not you. It sounds reassuring, and I understand why, but think about what it comes down to. To verify you, an agency has to request a copy of your identity document and store it somewhere, and that puts your most sensitive document right in the kind of database that can be hacked. That’s why I never ask for your ID. The less that’s kept about you, the less that can ever surface anywhere.
Want to keep looking, no rush?
Want to see first what other women thought, take a look at the reviews. If you have a practical question, the answer is probably among the frequently asked questions. And if you just want to ask something with no strings attached, message me. That can be anonymous too, and you’re not committing to anything.
