Thought this would be an interesting article, but the more I read the more I was dubious about the detail.
External Link/Members Only"The Havocscope team analyzed thousands of profiles of female sex workers on 200 websites, covering 55 countries, from escort directories to agencies and some of the most recognized international sites.
The prices obtained for the visualization aren’t “the standard,” rather the approximate average of prices published in 2019 by the many escorts on the web.
It’s worth mentioning that we are not talking about prostitution in general but independent escorts or legally authorized agencies. These are not prices that you can find in the streets late at night or in the famous red-light districts, so they are much higher than one would think."
All prices are shown in US dollars for 1 hour. Some examples:
Australia 350
Germany 350
Singapore 350
United Kingdom 350
Poland 320
Belgium 300
Japan 300
New Zealand 300
South Africa 300
United States 250
Ireland 230
Netherlands 180
Thailand 150
Philippines 140
Colombia 50
I'm suspicious about these supposed prices, UK $350 is just under £300 for "average" 1 hour escort charge?? Thought it might be useful as a comparison at least of costs relative to other countries, but I don't know enough about punting abroad to know how accurate even that is.
