I remember back in the 1970's there was a documentary about prostitution in New York City. The hookers said they charged $100 per hour.
In the 1980's when I worked the New York City nightclub scene, it was still about $100 per hour.
By the late 1990's a friend of mine told me that he pays women $70 - $80 per hour.
Over this past weekend, (August 2019) a man told me that the going rate was about $50 per hour.
You might think that the price of a call girl's hourly service fee has gone down $50 in 50 years, and you'd be wrong. If you factor in for inflation, the $100 back in the 1970's had the buying power of today's $661. That is a savings of 92%. Factor in the Law of Supply and Demand and you will see that the ladies of the evening were scarce back then, thus commanding a higher price. What does that say about the girls of today?
