I guess from an advertising perspective the internet is great for the sex industry and private workers more specifically. It gives them an opportunity to showcase their individual talents and attributes and to market themselves as different to the next lady because of……
But in general I believe that the internet has had a majorly harmful effect on the sex industry. Internet dating has helped to kill the sex industry by providing free sex with strangers who are open to hooking up one time only! Hell I have been guilty of it myself once!
Why would you pay a stranger for sex when you can get it for free? Granted the stranger may be nothing like what he/she says they are on their dating page but this can also happen in the sex industry. Long time clients will be no stranger to being told a girl is 21 when she is actually 35, or a size 8 when actually a curvy size 12. So why pay for those lies when you can get them for free? Sex is sex right?
The sex industry is a dying craze, people are more relaxed about having sex and it is so much easier to access a random person or have access to a ‘fuck buddy’ than ever before. People want less commitment and more sex with no ties and no cost if possible.
So why is there a part of the industry that is steadily growing? The ‘appointment only high end’ segment.
Maybe because once a brand is established then it is a failsafe way to have discreet sex with a top class woman? Or maybe because ‘hooking up one time’ becomes boring after so many horror stories?
Or maybe because boutique ‘appointment only’ places have to work on the long term view where as private girls can often get away with artistic licence because they are not intending to be around for long!
So is the internet good for the sex industry? From a 16 year Madam’s perspective it is a mixed bag. Personally I have points of view to share that will be in my next blog post!
