As an occasional consumer of sex work, here is the reality: yes, It’s more dangerous now for both parties, but much more so for the women. The labor supply has gone down sharply because the economics went upside down. If you can’t count on as many clients per day the fixed cost of the hotel room becomes harder to risk so many girls exited the market. Prices have gone up sharply. The kind of girls that were charging $250-300 are now charging $400-500. “Trafficking” is an almost nonexistent issue at these price points where I dabble but as I understand is depressingly common on the low end of the market where people are picking up girls on the street for $20 blow jobs. Those girls are now more vulnerable than ever because with the smaller size of the marketplace they need pimps, madams, agencies, etc. to help them get enough work.
