When reflecting on Vulvastreet, there's always a danger of going over familiar ground. However I think my main point is new.
Various aspects of prostitution have over the years aroused my intellectual curiosity, hence (for example) my participation in the prolonged investigation into Secret Benefits:
https://www.ukpunting.com/index.php?topic=351124.0In the case of SB there are plenty of clues as to what's going on, because a number of UKP members have reported their experiences of the site, allowing a detailed picture of SB's modus operandi to be painted.
In the case of the girls who advertise on Vulvastreet, however, I suspect the best any of us can come with is reasonably informed speculation - not least because I don't think many members of UKP are Vulvastreet regulars. I get the impression that most members who use the site go there only occasionally, and often as a Plan B.
I will use my home territory of Portsmouth as a statistical example, but the principles are the same elsewhere on Britain.
A Portsmouth search on Escorts and Massages on Vulvastreet at 10.45 am today delivered 112 hits. Of those about half a dozen were massage-only. Almost 30 were declared as Thai, Japanese, Chinese or other Far Eastern. (An interesting new development is how many more old-school Thais and other orientals have recently started advertising on Vulvastreet. For reasons not clear to me, perhaps this has something to do with the Online Safety Act?)
That leaves us with ads for some 75 girls not from the Far East, most of them declared as Brazilian. While it can safely be assumed that almost none of the photos are of the girl who would open the door, the figures nonetheless postulate that there are around 70 mainly South American girls who – regardless of what they actually look like – are, on a sunny Saturday in mid-August 2025, selling pussy in Portsmouth. And also that enough Portsmouth punters are visiting those 70 girls to cover the rent and the pimp's cut, and to pay for bread, baked beans and gin, and tobacco and tattoos.
I don't believe it.
So my question is this.
How many different girls are lurking behind those 70 ads?
One theory might be that each Brazilian has, I don't know, around half a dozen ads, because flooding Vulvastreet with ads has be found to be a business model that works (though doesn't come cheap). And if the competition does this, then others must follow.
In that case these 70 ads would actually represent a total of around a dozen working girls.
Is that a plausible theory? If not, does anyone have a better one?
I appreciate that any responses to my speculative ruminations are likely to be fairly speculative too. Unless, of course, any UKP member has had the privilege and pleasure of a long heart-to-heart with a Vulvastreet pimp?
