Deflation Hits Oldest Profession In The World: Hookers By The Numbers
As The Economist finds, the internet is making the buying and selling of sex easier and safer (from what we have been told). But it's not all Pretty Woman... not only is the oldest profession in the world seeing prices going down (the dreaded deflation) as the shift online has boosted supply by drawing more locals into the trade; but as the following four charts show, rates vary dramatically by 'services', ethnicity, geography, build, and bust size.
Prostitution by the numbers... (Via The Economist)
The most striking trend our analysis reveals is a drop in the average hourly rate of a prostitute in recent years.
Our analysis shows how a prostitute’s hourly rate varies according to the nature of the services she provides and her reported physical characteristics. As in other bits of the economy, clients who seek niche services must pay more. Sex workers who offer anal sex or spanking earn on average $25 or $50 more per hour, respectively (see chart 2). Those who will accept two male clients at once or do threesomes with another woman command a larger premium.
Appearance matters a great deal. The customers who reported encounters to the website we analysed clearly value the stereotypical features of Western beauty: women they describe as slim but not scrawny, or as having long blonde hair or full breasts, can charge the highest hourly rates (see chart 3). Hair that is bleached too unconvincingly to be described as blonde attracts a lower premium, but is still more marketable than any other colour. For those not naturally well endowed, breast implants may make economic sense: going from flat-chested to a D-cup increases hourly rates by approximately $40, meaning that at a typical price of $3,700, surgery could pay for itself after around 90 hours. The 12% share of women featured on the site who are described both as athletic, slim or thin, and as being at least a D-cup, suggests that quite a few have already taken this route.
A prostitute’s rates also vary according to her ethnicity and nationality. What attracts a premium in one place can attract a penalty in another. According to our analysis, in four big American cities and London, black women earn less than white ones (see chart 4).
We had too few data from other cities for a reliable breakdown by ethnicity. But Christine Chin of the American University in Washington, DC, has studied high-end transnational prostitutes in several countries. In Kuala Lumpur, she found, black women command very high rates and in Singapore, Vietnamese ones do. In Dubai, European women earn the most. What counts as exotic and therefore desirable varies from place to place, and depends on many factors, such as population flows.

A blowjobless recovery I say.
I don't think they can work at all if there is deflation, can they?
VIAGRA, CIALIS - oh, and long Pfizer, Eli Lilly
Long, indeed. ;)
...in four big American cities and London, black women earn less than white ones.
DAAAT'S RAAAYYYCCISSSSSSS!!!!!!!
cook it over a fire
before you poke it ..?
Hes certainly been screwing the US for years...on our dime, no less.
Wrong, 90s! The Kenyan Usurper was obviously richly rewarded for blowing rich old white fags.
Watch this and learn...but make sure to stop before 18:11 in the video:

If Obama had a biological daughter...
Finally, some good news from zerohedge.
Women with a D-cup command $275 an hour. I should have been an attorney.
I would ask anyone here making some comment if they have a daughter? Sister? Mother? Anyone here want to be cute with your comments? Anyone liking to take advantage of the poverty of women and go and "buy me some". Anyone here wish to comment, Like on many threads, wiith yoou idiotic input?
Mother/daughter/sister team. Deffinitely a premium for that.
Yeah it's all fun and games until you imagine it to be your mother trying to feed you at age four but then they become people.
Who needs an hour?
Tonight's menu was Snappin Red Fish OR Snappin Pussy. I choose Snappin Red Fish. Less grief.
Somebody had way too much fun Compiling that Data....
I'm still paying the 1% rate
And that fucker could have at least posted some PICS.
Bitch betta have my money.
Is your name Brady?
Pfffft. "The Economist". Please. I only read that rag for the advertisements.
Although I admit, this might be the finest piece of journalism they have ever produced. But still, absolutely NOTHING about midgets? You gotta be kidding me. How do you do an in-depth article about prostitution without addressing midgets?
What did I tell you about your politically incorrect terminology? We don't call it journalism any longer, we call it bullshit propaganda.
Presstitutes is the proper terminology. How apt.
YOU are an idiot way too full of yourself.
I can't help but transpose "WeinerWanker" in my mind whilst reading your alias.
In terms you may understand: Go fuck yourself.
How much do fat women earn?
Tee Hee.
Quit trying to inflate the numbers
Lol... You know what they say, fat women are like mopeds, they're both fun to ride, but you don't want your friends to see you on them.
Some thngs just don't work in "super-size".
That depends on racial propensity... According to raycisssts.
Don't include me tho... Firm believer here that if b-ball courts were in every street corner of downtown Tokyo, Yamaha would've been a hall of fame power forward.
It's a complicated formula, but prices are usually inversely correlated to amount of cottage cheese and backne.
Oof, man, don't need that visual. :P
Pass the eye bleach, please.
Like the "most interesting man" always says!
"I don't always drink beer, but when I do",
"I fuck fat chicks"!
How about we do another round for male gigglos? Wonder how much I can make as a male gigglos, hopefully the wage in this sector isn't so sexist.
Is that how I spell gigglo? Like the movie Duce Bigglo?
Does this article take into consideration all the sites like ashley madison etc? The cost of a straight up hooker may be going down but increasingly girls are offering themselves up for "dating" at costs that seem stratospheric. They know the deal....

Check out the campus life, fonz.
A pitcher of beer will get her done;)
I think there's a Jesuit monastery college near him on Long Island but I'm not sure if those guys drink ....
I went to SUNY Albany. I understand the pitcher of beer trade well. I am pushing 40.....
I was wondering the same thing. How about "consorts" and "harems" and other various aspects of gender theatrics. Seems to me while the "down and dirty" might be falling in price "lovey dovey" is in a raging bull market too.
Women are weird.
Down fall of man.
I hate to brag, but my wife is a borderline Unicorn. A 10 and only 5 crazy.
I do it for free!
4 years 46 weeks...you don't talk much and you do it for free?
something is amiss....
At that rate she's too busy to talk.
Got a free dog at the pound once. After the kids got attached, found out she had heart worms.
Free over what time period?
I'm down
No such thing, it's like a 'free puppy'. Sheesh!
You don't pay a hooker for sex...you pay them to leave
It's never free, babe.
And they said the Sisters of Mercy were disbanded!
Washington is much cheaper then Detroit. Figures...
Washington is full of (Congressional) whores, thus they go cheap.
Let's see... I can have a burned out crack whore or 10 burned out crack homes for the same price in Detroit.
I'll take "1 way ticket to any place else for $1000, Alex".
LOL
No wonder they added it to the GDP calcs.
Doug Stanhope was spot on! "You better strengthen up your shit pussy baby!"

Times are so tough.The last hooker I rented, while on a 'business' trip, charged the same rate as last year.
She gave me a groupon to be used within 30 days! I used it that same night.
Oral sex with a condom? Fucking central bankers! Assholes....
Is it just me or does the scale seem inversely proportial to "value". Ie: I would much rather spend time with a hooker from Tokyo than Boston.
Yeah - kind of hard to get it up if she talks like a Kennedy.
They will be able to charge by the inch......verified in advance.
http://motherboard.vice.com/read/googles-satellites-could-soon-see-your-...
Between my age, 'deflation' and cost per inch, she'd owe me the $100.
It's a crying shame when you can't catch a decent case of Herpes simplex-3x
Bitchez
It's times like this when a person starts questioning being married with children. Everything gets moar expensive. The only deflation I see is when I hear the words...... "Not tonight, I've got a headache" or "get the fuck off me, I'm trying to cook dinner".
Sometimes I hear "Why don't you go golfing." So I'm quite the pest.
My wife says to me the other night...
"How come we don't make love like they do in the movies?"
So I bent her over the table, slapped her on each ass cheek
a dozen times, rammed it in, grabbed her by the hair and
yanked her neck back so she'd be forced to watch me
jackhammer her from behind, then flipped her over and came
on her face....
She was pissed ...
Turns out we don't watch the same movies.
LOL!!
with or with out
popcorn ...
that's some good shit booboo
Not to worry Dr. At this rate, we're not far from getting a free Test Drive. Next time you hear that shit...head on down to the street corner.
Dammit Doc! You made Corona spit out my nose. Shame on you!
i'll put it this way... my wife is familiar with my appetite. she knows if she doest put out the good stuff, i might just gorge myself at mcdonalds...
I prefer the redheaded slut at Wendys.
Her pussy is so tight and wet.
Now That's Better
I wonder what happened to the fat one..
I wonder what happened to the fat one..
damn that's funny
If it's warm and wet, it sells.....
Oh that's just wrong.
Hourly Rate?
Who needs an hour?
What's the five-minutely-rate?
Damn. It takes time to get your pants off at my age.
I'm not worried so much about getting something off as getting something up. But that's just me.......and 40 million other Americans based up Pfizer's sales numbers. :)
My insurance doesn't cover Viagra, so I use a popsicle stick and tape.
When I hit 50 my dad gave me his splint, then called to borrow it back a week later.
That's some deep thinkin guys, so deep, it hurts my head, pun intended.
Then they charge ya' for the next 20 minutes to help you getchur pants back on.
Yep. Don't forget they bill just like those other whores - lawyers.
that was going to be my comment
I duuno how old you are, and it ain't none of my business- but that shit goes in stages, or cycles. In my late 40's early 50's I only needed about 15 seconds. Nearing 57, it takes me a lot longer to reach Nirvana, and although the interval between episodes is longer, so is the duration of the event.
TMI, I know, but since most of us on here seem to be guys, I'm just sharing personal experience wih those younger than me. When your little friend seems to be dying, just be patient. He is merely preparing for another phase.
Why don't you leave your 'little friend' alone? He's done you good for a half-century, let him rest now! Let him sleep in, take it easy, for the love of God...
You men are fucking slavedrivers, you know that? Someday your penises will revolt, mark my words...
Lemme tell you a true story.
I used to have a friend named Howard. I reckon he must be dead now because he hasn't come by for several years.
I saw him on his 70th birthday, He said;
Feet, happy birthday, we've walked many a mile.
Knees, you assholes have given me some difficulty, but happy birthday to you as well.
Little Howard, if you hadn't died, it'd be your birthday, too!
Maybe you need to realize something sweetheart; You can't cut us off if you don't know where we're gettin' it.
No no, it works like consulting: You have an hourly rate, with a 1-hour minimum.
Black prostitutes get paid less because they give you attitude even while they're blowing you.
They are probably on their cell phone. Anymore in public - whenever I see a black woman - she is on a cell phone.
Yo, cracker. I tell you wat. I won't bite off your gerkin sized love muscle for a extra ben..Yu good with dat?
Now just wait til they legalize it and tax it!!! Free condoms!!!!!
Judging by those charts, I owe my wife some money ! Lucky for me she's Black, flat chested, fat and bald !!!
Dude... that's fucked up.
I love ya'.
"Jungle Love"
Damn - she sounds pretty hot. Is she on Facebook? I would like to "friend" her.
And if you think rental rates are expensive try divorcing one.
try divorcing 3 of em
they got the houses and bank accounts
i kept the boat and the gold...
silly girls
In Brazil the prices doubled or tripled. Damn BRIC nation
Or maybe the US Dollar is weaker? Nooooooooooooo
Here in Colombia its much cheaper..and they are 8 to 10s..really....
Cause a young-un's got to do, what a young-uns got to do. We raised the age of reason to 16 to account for the beginning of the developement of the brain. We did that because for some unknown reason people were tricking their brains into kill themselves, and we as a compassionate people couldn't see our familys torchureing themselves in that fashion. And it was said they were due to become extinst one day soon, and who really wants to be a part of that?
The tell in all this and of course they didn't do the research would be gay prostitution aka man on man. The relation between prices for gay vs straight tells the bigger story about society and the trend of feminization of the world in general.....
It is all part of the longer term social re-engineering project that has been going on for at least the past 30 years. It takes about 3 generations for it manifest in physical characteristics which is what you are seeing now.
The pussy-fication of man is having tremendous economic effects. One of my best bud's wife's in HR at a pretty big firm, and she claims that it is becoming more difficult to get a "guy" who has the "classic" "stereotypical" male leadership qualities at all (let alone appearances). She claims that she sees an ever increasingly feminized male workforce. And not all for the better. And this lady is in HR!
And lemme tell ya', the trading floors these days.... There is no way to trade shit in a politically correct manner.... it is man kill everything for fun and profit. I mean, they shit on ya' for cursing, anymore. Back in my days, there were at least 2 or 3 dozen proper uses for the term "fuck". Nouns, verbs, adjectives, synonyms, antonyms, homonyms, adverbs.... It is a language of a trade.
And I know that I'm a profane man from years of dealing on the buy side (for which I apologize if I've offended anyone) but "sensitive traders" is an oxymoron.
Plus, there was nothin' like listenin' to a babe unload on some guy who done her wrong, telling him exactly what she was gonna do with some very specific body parts. Is a thing of ultimate beauty, one of God's gifts.
Men becoming more feminine, whilst women becoming more masculine. Unfortunately, as I had to remind a female acquaintance just the other day, by picking her up off the ground, women can never be men. and men can never be women. Biology just rules certain things out.
The proper term for these estrogenized males is, 'schlub'. With a little exercise (okay, a lot of exercise) wonderous transformations are possible. skinny-fat men (i used to be one) can turn into supermen. Relatively.
It is all part of the longer term social re-engineering project that has been going on for at least the past 30 years.
No shit, after realizing this, combined with the other attack vectors......we're fucked.
Probably about 10yrs ago on the poor end of a town there was this little stripper shack and they used to do lap dances for only $5.00. Granted no high class strippers but some were cute.
One time a couple of them were sitting with me before their shift started and I was asking them how they liked the new lap dance price of $10. The one gal said "you know I felt like a real tramp grinding on cock for $5.00 but I don't mind doing it for $10.00". LMAO no kidding.
they have your 20 bucks now?
Does that menu on chart 2 cum with desert?
Opps. Double post
I opt for a good gloryhole.
A buck o' five is all you need to get a job well done and it doesn't matter if it's Tommy Lee or Attila the Hun.
Oh my God....
The End is Here.
They actually do things like that ????
Owww... My,balz
This post is a complete bust! It should just be blown off! Purely a come-on!
Its bad you know, so I just went on and told her...

R. L. Burnside, huh? You know some bluesy musical shit! Good onya!
The world is SO RACISS, what with black snatch trading at a 20-50% discount.
The Economist should know. No whore like and old whore.
Isn't it a Red Shield whore like Reuters, the Guardian and loads of other media?
What a sexist bunch of trash. No stats on male prostitutes? How's the price action in that venue?
Guess the D cup is replaced with other measurements for the size queens. If one could get the elusive 12 incher through surgery, I'm guessing the return would be realized rather quickly.
Not, of course, that there's anything wrong with that.
Traditionally, female models, prostitutes, and exotic dancers have always out earned men, on average.
Luckily, bodily enhancements are tax deductible, hence no need to work 90+ hours to earn them back: http://www.investopedia.com/articles/personal-finance/032813/8-little-kn...
People pay $200-$300+ to put their dick into a public urinal and go uh uh uh? Who are these pathetic souls?
Bankers, govt workers and members of Congress.
Senators masturbate in the mirror.
And airport bathrooms
You don't pay them for sex, you pay them to leave.
If you are going escape into a fantasy for an hour, you might as well have real props.
Most lepers leave a tip, that should count towards pricing power.
I wonder what that guy who's aunt earns $30 an hour working from home is gonna do?
He's probably pimping that poor sister of his...
I don't need it that bad. As the price goes down, the cost of being there goes up.
Was in Shanghai for biz autumn of 2008, an associate who lived there took me to the Tongren Lu girly bars, it had been a year since he had last been... "Wow, I've never seen them so aggressive!" Apparently the recession (foreign clientele) was having an effect. Fun night. Better quality women in the Macau hotels, and I hear the Tongren Lu strip has been somewhat cleansed, unfortunately.
*8 year old news? Trolling the 2015 schedule?
711 bums be gone. Here comes Nancy.
Bring back (at any cost!) Money McBags ! Those links to the ,ahem, primary sources of economic wisdom were bliss.
Worse thing ever was him getting a paying gig. Really miss his homilies.
Chao Phya II in Bangkok on Soi Sri Ayudyha Road. The very best basic simple great service for much lower than this Economist chart, and all Asian (no black!).
I wonder if that $20 premium for "swallows" makes up for the 40 years in lost life span due to the STD's going down the old gullet . . . . . . un-fucking believable.
You can always find um on "K" St., anytown, usa. & yes it's all pink in the middle
How do you make a hormone?
You don't pay her . . .
"How do you make a hormone?"
Crack that joke.
How do you tell the sex of a chromosome? Pull down its genes.
If you don't see any real problem with income inequality it is probably just that:
1) you like cheap whores and
2) you really don't mind if your neighbors kids have to prostitute themselves 'cause that is all that this new "economy" offers.
I have a unicorn.... But mine has two horns
