The Price Elasticity of Pussy
[QUOTE=OliverNP;5897372] In the study of economics, luxury items have extremely high price elasticity, meaning demand for them drops substantially during economically lean times. As you pointed out, pussy is a luxury.... {In a recession}Company layoffs and so forth tend to have a fear-inducing affect that reduces consumer confidence, and I believe such an event would result in a pull back of spending by many SDs and simultaneously induce a lack of income crisis for girls in the typical SB age demographic.
So, while I don't claim to have a crystal ball, I believe that would amount to (A) more girls needing help and (B) less SDs willing to throw money out the window to get laid.[/QUOTE]Wow! The price elasticity of pussy would be an interesting academic exercise in Micro-Economics that I wish my Econ 102 professor had given to me.
What will happen to the prices of SBs during a recession? As you aptly noted, SBs have a high price elasticity of demand. Past a certain point, the more a SB charges, the far fewer clients she can expect. But what is that point? And what does recession do to supply and demand? Does it drive some SDs out of the market because they can no longer afford it? More SBs would likely "work" during a recession. Especially those who were already on the fringe of considering this. More SB supply would logically drive prices down and less SD demand would also drive prices down, but would this actually happen? In theory, perhaps. But this is actually a very complex situation. Firstly, we haven't even considered yet the quality of the pussy. We aren't exactly talking about equally satisfying and acceptable sacks of sugar. And, secondly there is both a price elasticity of demand for pussy as well as a price elasticity of supply to consider (lower prices could mean fewer SBs would be willing to be available). Not to mention almost no data to support a calculation of either. So at best it is a conjecture.
So here is my best guess. Currently at $100 a meet (of course, time would also be a factor) there would be almost unlimited demand, but limited supply. Supply would increase and demand decrease almost on a straight line, with a midpoint of $250. After that, demand would get considerably slower and supply considerably faster, until, at about $500 and higher, there would be almost unlimited supply, but not much demand. This is, of course, a very rough guesstimate, with absolutely no proof. Would this graph shift to the left in a recession? OMG! I have a headache. LOL.
