The Daily Mirror newspaper, which reported the latest shortage, did not say what the ideal punter-to-prostitute ratio should be for an emerging middle-income country, but the implication is that there could be queues outside brothels too. "She said that these figures are something that has to be seriously taken into account considering the fact that Sri Lanka is a small country," the Daily Mirror quoted Samarakoon as saying. She noted that HIV/AIDS spread was minimal in Asia's new wonder.

Samarakoon's survey probably explains why there is an influx of Chinese and East European sex workers trying to fill the supply gap. They also help raise national pride. According to those familiar with the trade, the local prostitutes cost more than their foreign counterparts underscoring the premium Sri Lanka attaches to its own women. </blockquote>
