Why are whores so expensive in Boston ? What kind of whores are they talking about. Straight whores ? Gay whores ? Transgendered whores ? Does a hot Asian whore cost more that a big booty black whore ? Inquiring minds need to know !
Probably caused by the general deterioration of the labor market, my city has 82 hair cutters (almost all of which are female) also despite it being a minor provincial town, I think a lot of women are desperate for income and so they underbid each other in the prostitution business.
