Pussy coochie, vagina – whatever you want to call it there’s no doubt that the female genitalia holds an intrinsic value. But in today’s modern world, how do we determine the monetary worth of a vagina? While putting a definitive dollar amount on something so personal and subjective isn’t easy, examining cultural norms, sexual economics, and even cryptocurrency can provide some perspective.
Looking at Cultural Norms
Culturally, the idea that women exchange sex for material goods is nothing new. The practice of “gifting” expensive presents to a mistress or lover has persisted for centuries. Even dating back to courtesans in ancient Greece women have leveraged their feminine assets to secure favor and fortune from wealthy and powerful men.
While outright prostitution establishes a clear transactional value, more nuanced relationships blur the lines. The recent popularity of “sugar daddy” arrangements demonstrates that men still pay premium prices for the intimate company of an attractive woman. Website SeekingArrangements reports the average monthly allowance given by a sugar daddy to a sugar baby is $3,000. This equates to nearly $36,000 per year in cash and gifts in exchange for a relationship that almost always involves sex.
Looking at Sexual Marketplace Theory
The sexual marketplace is the theoretical arena where men and women compete for partners based on what they have to offer. Evolutionary psychology suggests that women hold the keys to sex, while men control relationships and resources. Therefore women can increase their market value through youth, beauty and sexual access. Men gain value via status, wealth, and willingness to commit.
Under sexual marketplace theory, vaginas hold the most power during a woman’s peak fertility years when demand is highest. After age 30, women’s sexual marketplace value starts to steadily decline. However, they can continue extracting resources from men by utilizing emotional intelligence, domestic skills, and careful mate selection.
Looking at Sex Work Earnings
Perhaps the most literal valuation for vaginas comes from sex workers themselves. A 2005 study interviewed prostitutes across major U.S. cities and found the following average hourly rates:
- Streetwalkers: $30-100
- Brothel workers: $150-500
- Escorts: $200-1500
High-end escorts can earn into the thousands per hour. Porn performers also showcase the earning potential of vaginas. While mostly working on a per-scene basis, popular female porn stars can make between $500-$1500 per shoot.
Assuming a high-end escort or porn star works 20 days per month and charges an average of $1000 per day, the annual value of her vagina would exceed $240,000.
Looking at Cryptocurrency
In a bizarre intersection between sexuality and blockchain technology, there is now a cryptocurrency called $PUSSY that claims to be “the world’s first decentralized crypto token pegged to the value of Female Genitalia”.
While clearly more of a novelty than serious investment vehicle, at the time of writing $PUSSY was trading for around $0.0000044 per coin. This equates to one vagina being valued at 440,000 $PUSSY tokens or about $2.
So by this metric, even the most beautiful and sought after vagina would be worth less than a cup of coffee. Suffice it to say, the developers of $PUSSY coin probably aren’t the best arbiters of vaginal market valuations.
Key Takeaways
-
There is no definitive dollar amount that can accurately represent the intrinsic value of a vagina. Like art, it is subjective and depends greatly on the beholder.
-
However, examining norms around sex work, dating markets, and sexual economics reveals a huge spectrum – from a few dollars to hundreds of thousands.
-
Youth, beauty, fertility, relationship skills, and exclusivity are key drivers of a vagina’s market value. But sentimentality and emotional connection impact personal valuations.
-
Vaginas hold the most leverage in a woman’s youth. But their value extends far beyond physical attributes alone.
At the end of the day, putting a price on a vagina is complicated. The value depends heavily on context, desirability, market forces of supply and demand, and the motivations of both buyers and sellers. But the undeniable truth remains – pussy has power. And for some men, there is almost no limit on what they’ll pay for it.
