About these representatives of the oldest profession! Throughout the history of mankind, men had understandable needs, and there were always women who met these needs for a fee.
However, nowadays in most countries of the world such activity is illegal, writes Bigpicture.ru. But many people have a different point of view on prostitution: they perceive it as a business process. And of course, this whole area is shrouded in numerous secrets, the specificity of which varies from quite adequate (such as details of “business” communication and details of “business agreements”) to a few frightening facts.
But despite all the uniqueness of the sex services market, prostitution may be interesting due to the many features that characterize the world of selling your body for money. Although you need to take into account that each country has its own specifics of such a business. So, we decided to figure out how things are “across the ocean”, and we’ve picked up some little-known facts about the mysterious and dangerous US sex services market for 12.
Almost all pimps have graduated from high school. And about 30% of them even have a college degree. This is quite curious, because to work in this area does not need a certificate or diploma of a higher educational institution. However, when you need to choose whether to receive benefits (or the minimum wage) or start your own (even if illegal) business with the ability to earn tens of thousands of dollars a month, the position of some college graduates is understandable.
Pimps create lots of jobs. Yes, of course, prostitution acts destructively on society, it is an absolute evil for women, it is an invention of the devil, etc. But, if you look at the case objectively, you can find out that it brings a lot of money to the economy. Girls receive a "salary", feed their families. Pimps and representatives of escort agencies post ads on the Internet, solve real estate issues, and even find carers for children. Anyway, these guys are part of American (and almost any other) society.
Prostitution brings more money than any other illegal business. Guns and drugs are a very profitable business. The media enthusiastically wash the bones of the drug lords, and the issue of the prohibition of carrying firearms is constantly being discussed in society. However, the field of sex services actually brings investors much more money than drug barons and arms dealers make. The fact is that this business is much more comprehensive and universal.
No, even in Las Vegas, prostitution is not as legal as you think. In fact, in the state of Nevada, prostitution is permitted only in licensed brothels. Street prostitution is prohibited. In the rest of the states, prostitution is illegal.
Buyers of sex services are all kinds of people. Surely you think that the typical client of a prostitute is a poor, eternally sweaty fat looking woman who is looking for fresh sensations secretly from a meticulous wife. No, in fact it is not. In fact, there is no clear portrait of a typical client of a prostitute: everyone buys carnal pleasures. Moreover, according to information from the pimps, even the police often go to the brothels.
Pimps have a huge amount of expenses. Do you really think that keeping a brothel is easy? Yes, they earn good money, but at the same time, the “madam” and “scourers commanders” have to seriously spend on many different things: utilities, payment for gynecologists and venereologists, transportation costs, rental of real estate and much more. Their "service" is also somewhat dangerous and difficult.
Pimps most often fall through friends or family. Many probably thought about how you can get into this business. Often you see interesting ads on the Internet, the content of which rather transparently hints that replenishment is required in the field of intimate services. But in fact, you do not just see the ad, call the specified number and come to the "interview". (How do you imagine an interview for the position of a representative of the oldest profession? And a test task?). Most people enter the industry through friends, acquaintances and relatives. For them, so to speak, there is someone to put in a word. In addition, when you grow up with your father, a pimp, from childhood you acquire the necessary skills later. All in the family, all in the family.
Girls rarely work without a pimp. Many probably wondered why in general the girls work with their pimps, and do not take all the money themselves. There is a simple explanation for this: working with pimps assumes that they receive a certain percentage from the “purchase”, but at the same time they take upon themselves all the practical concerns. To some extent it is so much easier. Less hassle.
Pimps are not so afraid of arrest. It may seem to you that the confused chiefs constantly panic and constantly look around in fear of seeing the pursuer away with a narrowed gaze. In fact, they are not particularly soared: their work is not associated with risk, since they themselves usually do not participate in “deals”, and it is not that easy to prove their involvement in illegal business.
Most often, brothels are closed thanks to a cop undercover. Most arrests of prostitutes are due to the secret work of the misleading Cossacks. Of course, if they manage to collect enough evidence of the illegality of what is happening.
Girls are recruited through social networks. Nowadays, many things are being done online. And prostitutes are also hired in social networks. Many pimps have long since mastered a similar employee selection tool, so if you still believe in the tooth fairy and Santa Claus, it is time to open your eyes: all these suspicious ambiguous ads about looking for girls of pleasant appearance on the Internet are not at all an attempt to find good waitresses and dancers.
Pimps do not like the stereotypical perception that was formed due to mass media. No, a typical pimp is not a dark-skinned guy in a leopard coat and with a huge gold chain around his neck, dissecting a cabriolet along the coast and talking like a smoked teenager from Colorado. Although something is already there, some of them can really look that way. In addition, they do not like the English word "pimp", which means: it is considered not too cultural. Pimps position themselves more as businessmen than as criminals. Despite the fact that this business is illegal in 49 of 50 of the US states, it still exists almost openly, and its scale is impressive.
