What is Internet prostitution? What are its advantages and disadvantages?

What will be an ideal response?


The Internet has transformed many industries, including the sex trade. Prostitutes now utilize the Internet to advertise themselves and arrange meetings with customers. For the modest cost of a device with an Internet connection, a prostitute can be in business: contacting customers through a website or online ad service. This technology makes it easier for prostitutes to operate on their own, without the need for a pimp or escort service to make the contacts and arrangements. However, although the Internet prostitute doesn't have to share earnings with a pimp or escort service, she also does not have the protections they afford. Prostitutes are beaten—sometimes killed—by customers, and are often forced to do things they would prefer not to do. Without the pimp or escort service, prostitutes are more isolated and vulnerable to such depredations.
