>I literally had to explain to one of these girls how insane the price was

I'm sure she loved that.

>Maybe people are just fed up with it and spending their discretionary income in other ways.

My friend, paying for "sex" will be one of the last things to go.

>Because for $500 from the USA if you live near any major airport hub you take a long weekend trip to several Central and South American countries

Do you think these are substitutes?

Depends on the strip club prices in those countries I guess.

You missed the end of the sentence:

Out of context: what is sex? Is it physical satisfaction or romantic connection?

Yes.

It really depends on the context. If you ask your spouse, it's probably the latter. When talking about strip clubs, it's more of the former.
