Sometimes I wonder which are the key factors that affect the prices brothels and massage shops charge. I guess most of you will reply saying it is a combination of everything.
1. Demand and supply. Prices would increase if the girls are getting more demand than they can supply in a given day, or else they sit around earning little.
2. Perception: where men "value" getting laid and become happy to pay a high price.
3. Market dysfunction: Why a woman who opens her legs and lets a guy fuck her for 30 minutes for more money than a female doctor makes in 2 hours after studying for many years.
When you read many of the recruitment pages that brothels post (usually, in Japanese and Korean languages), and the promise that the girls can make $2,000 to $3,000 a day which is mostly tax-free, you wonder if this is a fair value for money. After all, any professional woman (lawyer, doctor, accountant) would struggle to make this amount after tax.
