Atlanta Escorts: More Prostitution Statistics? OK!

Posted on January 28th, 2010 in Atlanta escorts

Nothing beats a good study on prostitution, if for no other reason than they all have slightly different results and that’s amusing. With that in mind, let’s peruse the latest one from the UK and see what useful knowledge can be gleaned from the sexual habits of our European brothers.

According to the cleverly titled “Tackling Demand for Prostitution”, 2.4 million adult men have paid for sex, and 870,000 of them are regular customers. This works out to 10% of the male population paying for sex, which isn’t bad. It’s higher than some studies and lower than others and fits right in the slot that says “statistics become less and less helpful the more of them you see.” On the upside, this study is actually born from other studies, 181 previous studies in fact, so you know it’s a winner. It’s also remarkably meta. Can we do studies based solely on studies now? Completely avoiding the actual thing you’re studying and instead just focusing on the studies others made of that study? Isn’t that cheating? Anyway…

For this study, the results suggest more than half of hobbyists are either married or in a fairly stable relationship. Naturally this stat is given near the top of most articles that have reported on it in the media, because after the sheer bulk numbers, journalists like to hit you with a little shock and awe. Grandma and her sewing circle no doubt choked on their tea and crumpets when they learned that ever so many married fellows are soliciting the talents of ladies of ill repute.

In terms of the fat cash, it looks like prostitution in the UK is worth £3.84billion a year. That’s in the neighborhood of $6 billion US.
