According to the American Automobile Association, the average cost of a gallon of unleaded in the US is now $4.098 (£2), the highest ever. Californians endure the highest petrol prices in the country with a gallon of unleaded reaching $4.79 in Orange County.
The Nevada Brothel Owners' Association says "Revenue for houses of ill-repute has dropped by 20 to 45 per cent since the energy crunch began — the worst economic crisis in prostitution in almost half a century".
The oldest profession(Brothel) is one of the few sectors that is generally immune to global economic problems. But high oil prices are another thing — especially when many of your regular clients are truckers.
Local governments, school districts and police authorities — groups that are forced to stick to fixed annual budgets — are considering ways of reducing their fuel bills as prices show no sign of slowing.
No use of it!
At other brothels in the Nevada desert - where it has been legal to sell sex at licensed establishments since the silver mining boom of the 1800s - petrol discount schemes, similar to those offered by Chrysler to customers when they buy a 4x4 Jeep, are being introduced. Some have abandoned the financial negotiations that take place between customers and girls and are offering flat-rate, no-haggle services, advertised online. At the Shady Lady Ranch, for example, a 40-minute session is being promoted for the discount price of $175 (£90). Next month, customers will receive a $50 petrol voucher if they spend at least $300, or a $100 voucher if they spend $500.
Truckers are the ideal customers for brothels. Bored, a long way from home and with nothing much to spend their money on while on the road, they are often tempted by the prospect of the intimate company of women.
On the website for the Wild Horse Adult Resort and Spa, the truck-friendly five-acre car park, with 24-hour security, is given almost as much advertising space as the services.
Fuel bills for truckers have risen by two thirds in the past year — diesel has gone from an average of $2.80 per gallon to $4.69 per gallon. It is no help that many brothels are several hours' drive outside metropolitan areas because of licensing restrictions.
Politicians have tried to help. Last July a ban on advertising was lifted, allowing brothels to put up billboards in cities such as Las Vegas, where prostitution is illegal. President Bush's tax refund cheques have also helped. At the Moonlite Bunny Ranch, which featured in a recent HBO reality TV series, the first 100 customers who showed up with their tax refunds were offered special deals.
“You bring your $600 cheque in, and we give you the $1,200 George Bush party: three girls and a bottle of champagne,” Dennis Hof, the owner, promised.
Because of the promotion, business at the establishment is reportedly up 20 per cent this year.
Gr8 help by the American Govt. to the brothels.
Handcuffs and condoms are replacing textbooks for a growing number of students who enter prostitution to pay for university. The percentage of these kinda things increased because of Fuel price rise too...
Wat will be the remedy for this??? Letz hope for the best...
