You are bringing back fond memories of Microeconomics 101. I also recall that the utility value of goods and services decreases as the quantity of goods and services increases. Thus, by making relatively infrequent unsupervised trips to TJ (once every month or two or so), my utility value of sessions remains relatively high, so paying slightly inflated prices for more attentiveness makes sense, up to a point. On a utility scale, I must rate putang as giving me the highest utility for dollar spent, for not only is it a necessity of life (as life would no longer be worth living, and I would commit suicide without it), it is far more enjoyable than other necessities, like food, water, oxygen, shelter, etc. I also place far more value on experience than aquisition of material things, which explains why I don't own very much, but have had a fairly interesting life. And, as far as intensity of experience goes, it's hard to think of many things that compare to the zona . . . I hope this helps in your research. ;^)
