We have a union? Awesome. Too bad it's only in Nevada.
Interesting article, one of the most thorough I've seen on the subject. However, one thing I learned while in the media biz myself: statistics can be manipulated like marionettes.
"... there will always be people who, for whatever reason, want to hire a prostitute rather than do without sex or pick up a partner in a bar. As paid-for sex becomes more readily and discreetly available online, more people will buy it."
Uh...dah! Maybe the price is falling because people are more accepting of the practice and more people are participating. And, what kind of genius does it take to figure out that hiring a provider is much more reliable than going to a bar and picking up a drunk chick?
