How to know when your financial situation is so lugubrious that it's time to turn tricks? And how much to charge? It's a problem that millions of women (and the majority of professional bloggers) wrestle with each and every day. Thankfully, three European economists have finally devolved a partial differential equation that will help any math-minded young lady figure out the relative street worth of her assets.
The value of prostitution is this:
Where U is your satisfaction, L is the amount of leisure time you have, C is the amount of goods and service you consume, S is the amount of prostitution you can provide, W is the going price for prostitutes and R is a measure of your reputation.
It is not, perhaps, coincidental that this was the exact same formula that I used to help me determine how much money I should ask for during my next pay raise negotiations.
