Financial crisis for dummies: "Bank crashes... High-end sex workers see business booming"


It may seem quite odd, but it seems that there are only two professions who are making big money out of this crisis: first of all the lawyers, who always seem to do well when others are failing, and secondly, a far more surprising profession, high-end sex workers.

Although this might sound a bit contradictory in the second case a study has revealed that of the 150 high-end sex workers who had been inducted in the study every single one of them noticed a pattern of increased activity, sometimes even doubling their usual figures in these dark financial (yet obviously erotic) times!
How is this paradox even possible one might ask himself.... The study revealed that this was caused by the fact that these women, who easily charge more than a 1000$ a night, seem to be far more than solely fancy toys for boys as they also occupied the position of therapists giving these men the positive reinforcements they need to survive a life characterized by stress at work, huge losses on the share-markets and even worse the constant nagging of the wife!

Although this might sound a bit contradictory in the second case [add a comma here] a study has revealed that of the 150 high-end sex workers who had been inducted in the study every single one of them noticed a pattern of increased activity, sometimes even doubling their usual figures in these dark financial (yet obviously erotic) times!
How is this paradox even possible one might ask himself.... The study revealed that this was caused by the fact that these women, who easily charge more than a 1000$ [$1,000] a night, seem to be far more than solely fancy toys for boys as they also occupied [occupy/fill (no pun intended)] the position of therapists giving these men the positive reinforcements they need to survive a life characterized by stress at work, huge losses on the share-markets and even worse the constant nagging of the wife [of the Mrs OR of their wives] !

Good flow & style
