Why would you think so? The number of older people is just growing.

You might be right. But the way I meant it was only incidentally about age itself. I think my generation and below (btw I'm also middle aged now) are less likely to engage the services of a prostitute, but that's mostly based on my immediate social circle and I don't have the data to back this up. Personally, the concept always seemed very strange to me, and I can't imagine that'll change as I get older.
