I think you’re being premature with that prediction.

females getting $20 for oral sex and male prostitutes getting $40. Men command higher prices, he says, and get double the amount, about $80, for intercourse.

That's sexual discrimination! Someone file a lawsuit! And the Gubmint should bail out the "sex workers"! /s

after 10 years of working the streets, because her regulars have been hiring her less and less due to the recession.

Recession? Economic or physical ?

With the weak economy, I’m sure that there’s elevated concern about getting stiffed.

The recession has seen the street price of oral sex, the most common service, plummet from $60 last fall to $20 today. "Full service" involving intercourse has dropped from $150 to $80.

Perfect opportunity to buy low and sell high.

LOL That’s what I was wondering, it couldn’t be because she’s 10 years older than when she started this gig and she looks every bit her age or older, could it?

Oh, he's doing something to the tools of the economy but I don't think it involves lube.
