Fuel Prices Effecting Prostitution?
Just when you think that even people that visit brothels would go out of their way to pay for some nookie, rising fuel prices are effecting the poon-peddlers. According to an article on MSN.com, some of Nevada’s legal brothels are being effected by the economy and rising fuel prices. Mainly because most of them are forced to do business far outside of city limits. While a good percentage of the customers are truckers, it looks as if those truckers are actually being conscious about fuel usage and budgeting for their fill-ups.
Several of the hardest hit are the houses of prostitution in Nevada’s rural northern areas, which get roughly 60 percent of their business from truckers. “Some of these brothels are out in the middle of nowhere so fuel prices have an effect, says Dennis Hof, owner of the infamous Moonlite Bunny Ranch. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, diesel on the West Coast now costs $4.87 per gallon. That means truckers could easily spend $1,000 to fill up their tanks, leaving them with little extra cash and less likely to take a detour. For bordello owners, relocating to more central locations is impossible. Under Nevada law, brothels can only operate in counties with fewer than 400,000 residents.
Damn gas prices are ruining everything that is good in America! However, I hear the sales of Hustler Magazine and Hand lotion are on the rise.
