Could the suppressed demands for gambling, prostitution, even outward
appearance/gender be driving the growth?  (Sort of like the "free love"
60s, but without STDs.)  The economic issues presented in that "world"

great for that kind of thing.  I also have a pretty full first life to
deal with.  :)
