Escort Rate Inflation
A few percent annual inflation may not seem much but with the magic of compound interest, inflation yields a great price increase over time. Case in point, escort rate.
1980s Colt and Falcon pornstar Ed Wiley commanded $75 per session in this 1982 Escort Review Magazine ad. 25 years later, Buckshot exclusive Danny Roddick charges $500, a sixfold increase. Compared to other pornstars charging $350 a pop nowadays, it’s still a five fold inflation. Non-pornstar escorts charge $250 today, corresponding to the five fold increase to a fellow escort charging $50 (the ad above Ed Wiley’s.)
Ed Wiley was 11″ hung and may have commanded a premium for that.

I think that is an exaggeration. Ed Wiley’s dick is 9 inches, but I ask you, ain’t that enough for you?

Ed Wiley, wow, now that’s a MAN.

You mean I could of had Ed Wiley for $75 back in 1982? Geez, too bad I wasn’t living in California at the time; I would have taken him up on it. But I had some men who rivaled Ed Wiley in the dick department.

Yes it was 75$ a pop or even less if you looked down to the next ad for a hot dick. Yet, I’m a lot about numbers and here are some statistics of 1982:
Cost of Living 1982
How Much things cost in 1982
Yearly Inflation Rate USA 6.16 %
Year End Close Dow Jones Industrial Average 1046
