New study of the internet's effect on the sex industry

Recommended Posts

The world's oldest profession has changed very little over the millennia. But following the rapid expansion of the Internet, the sex trade is suddenly finding new ways to thrive in cyberspace, even as it appears to be vanishing from the streets, according to a comprehensive new study commissioned by the U.S. Department of Justice.

 

By compiling hundreds of firsthand accounts from pimps, prostitutes and police, the report depicts the modern commercial sex economy and for the first time shows how strikingly different its 21st century industry appears.

 

The new 380-page report from the Urban Institute profiles the industry in eight US cities, chosen based on their number of convictions, existing human-trafficking task forces, and the opinions of sex trade experts, among other factors. These include Atlanta, Dallas, Denver, Kansas City, Mo., Miami, Seattle, San Diego, and Washington, DC.

It is supposedly a comprehensive list of the online ads, and yet it is missing quite a few that i know sps/clients use in the US.

 

It kind of shows where LE is looking for ads, rather than where clients/sps are placing/looking lol. other than the obvious bp.

 

The pricing has little to do with any kind of 'trend'. it's more, you are paying for time and companionship only, for this amount of time, it costs this many $$. you aren't getting any acts for that, just time.

 

 

Here is a handy link to the rather long study
