Prostitution in the USA: facts you have long wanted to know, but hesitated to ask

All people know about the existence of prostitution. It is legal in some countries, but not in most of the world.

Almost all pimps have secondary education. And about 30% of them even have a college degree. This is quite interesting because you don’t need any diploma or certificate to work in the sex industry. However, when the time comes to choose—receive minimum unemployment benefits, minimum wage, or earn up to several tens of thousands of dollars—what young graduates choose is quite understandable.

Pimps create many jobs. If you look at prostitution from a business perspective, you will find that this industry creates a lot of jobs and brings money into the economy. Girls work and can “feed” their families. Pimps and representatives of escort agencies post advertisements on the Internet, resolve real estate issues, and even find caregivers for children. One way or another, these guys are part of American (and almost any other) society.

Проституция brings in more money than any other illegal business... Weapons and drugs are a very lucrative business. The media are very enthusiastic about washing the bones of drug lords, and the topic of banning the carrying of firearms is constantly discussed in society. However, the sex industry actually generates much more money for investors than drug lords and arms dealers make. The point is that this business is much more comprehensive and versatile.

Many believe that in Las Vegas, Nevada, prostitution is legal, but not entirely true... In fact, prostitution is legal only in special institutions, and standing on the street looking for clients is prohibited. In the rest of the states, any kind of such activity is illegal.

Completely different people use the services of “girls”... We are used to the picture of an unattractive fat man who resorts to sex services in secret from his wife. But in reality, it is impossible to compose a typical client portrait. Moreover, according to information from pimps, even policemen often visit brothels.

Pimps have a huge amount of expenses... They earn very good money, but maintaining a brothel is not cheap. Expenses can be very different: utility bills, payments for gynecologists and venereologists, travel expenses, rental of real estate, and much more.

Pimps most often fall through friends or family. Quite often on the Internet you can see interesting ads, the content of which quite transparently hints that the sphere of intimate services needs replenishment. But in reality, getting into this area is not so easy. 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 a pimp father, you acquire the skills you need later from childhood.

Girls rarely work without a pimp... There is a simple explanation for this cooperation: working with pimps assumes that they receive a certain percentage, but at the same time take on all the practical concerns. To some extent, this is much easier and safer for girls.

Pimps are not so afraid of arrest. They are not very worried about this outcome, since they never participate directly in the transaction, and it is almost impossible to prove their involvement.

More often than not, brothels are closed thanks to undercover cops... Most of the arrests of prostitutes are due to the covert work of the police. Of course, if they manage to collect enough evidence of the illegality of what is happening.
