Firstly, a “call girl” is a glorified prostitute, who take clients by appointment on the telephone. In Prostitution in the Digital Age: Selling Sex from the Suite to the Street by R. Barri Flowers. Flowers describes a call girl as a college education, attractive, business savvy young women. Call girl’s are described to give to give the ‘girlfriend experience,’ but unlike a sugar baby there is heavy emphasis on the sexual side. Unlike a sugar baby, where sex isn't mention as a necessary part of an arrangement, an escort goes into the interacting knowing that sex is highly likely. Flower describes the difference between prostitute and call girl is, "...appearance, money, and class." While prostitutes and female escorts both engage in sexual acts, …show more content…
In the 21st century, the internet has become a tool that’s helped the call girl provide their own advertisements and get clients. In “Prostitution 2.0: The Internet and the Call Girl” by Scott Cunningham and Todd Kendall, they examine the effects of the internet on female escorting. Cunningham writes, “...the amount of information that can be published is substantially higher than what is possible during a brief encounter on the street or in pre-internet media such as newspaper.” As a result of the technological advances of the 21st century, it’s easier for call girls to be more active in screening and communicating with clients. Additionally, it’s become harder for law enforcements to police sites that display advertisements for female escorts. For example, Craigslist, a site where anyone can upload advertisements in a variety of different sections like jobs, resumes, and personal, the site even has an “erotic services” section where these ads can be visibly seen by the public. Additionally, there is a website called TheEroticReview.com, that allows clients of prostitutes and call girls rate their experience and define their physical …show more content…
The increasing amount of sugar babies on college campus reflects the unachievable and the unaffordable amount that college prices have become. And, in turn have, effectively put a price on a girl’s education where she’s forced to turn to nontraditional ways to obtain money. For 700 and 800 dollars for just one meeting where you impress an older man with compliments and praise, instead of trying to manage 2 jobs while continuing to keep up your school work and extracurricular activities. Sugaring is probably the easiest way to make money, and as a result, one 9-year-old girl now aspires to become a sugar baby. Call girls also enter sex for economic reasons. In New York City, working for an escort agency charge from $200 to $1,500 per hour, and for call girls that go on an out call, where the call girl will go to the client for as long as he choose, can bring in thousands of dollars. One escort can made 29,000 for a weekend escorting with her client, and another was flown to New York and her client wrote a 16,000 check for her. Young women, in need of money to financially support themselves sugaring and escorting are two viable options. Natalie McLennan, former top escort, talks about why she got involved in escorting. She says, "I was a struggling, a starving artist, living in Manhattan, trying to succeed." Add prostitutes into this
Throughout Sex Work and the Law: A Critical Analysis of Four Policy Approaches to Adult Prostitution Frances Shaver discusses the need for change for women working as prostitutes. Shaver explains the ongoing problem surrounding prostitution in Canada and provides four possible ways to resolve the issue in her work. Three well thought out points Shaver writes about are the health benefits as well as personal safety for the women in the sex industry. She also touches base on the decriminalization of prostitution and the impacts it will have on nearby neighborhoods and the residents as well as a few other topics. Although Shaver discusses important areas, she does leave out some particular parts for concern such as the issues surrounding minors involved in the sex industry as well as the men and women who are involuntarily put into prostitution also known as human trafficking. While Shaver touches base on extremely well thought out points and provides a solution for dealing with Canada’s prostitution problem, she fails to elaborate on a few major issues that should be discussed as well when discussing the decriminalization of prostitution.

Prostitution is one of the oldest professions in history. In this modern age there are several classes of prostitutes with several methods of finding work, but they still face violence in their business. Though prostitutes are frowned upon by society and treated as criminals, under the law they should not be scrutinized by the morals of the people. Prostitutes frequently feel they have no options due to their illegal work, should they be assaulted they cannot turn to the police since many officers refuse to aid them as criminals. Prostitution should be regulated to fight human trafficking, increase quality of life for the women working in the industry, and generate taxes for the government while reducing the cost of dealing with prostitution.
Prostitution To understand the relationship between sex trafficking, prostitution and drug use, it must first be understood how sex trafficking and prostitution are related. Although many people are familiar with what prostitution entails, Kubasek and Herrera define it as the engaging, agreeing to engage, or offering to engage in sexual acts or contacts with another person in return for a fee (2015). The authors define sex trafficking as the recruitment, harboring, transportation, provision, or obtaining of a person for the purpose of a commercial sex act (2015). Something that many do not realize is that individuals who may be victims of trafficking are commonly located while they are engaging in prostitution, and are then criminalized instead of offered the protection and support they often desperately need. Our current legal system does not handle trafficking cases as a means of prostitution.
Prostitution, as stated by Flemming, is known as a form of sexual activity, a kind of sexual style or category, and a form of economic activity, a way of making a living through the provisions of certain services, by behaving in accordance with, or falling into such a category (39). This definition, though, is controversial. While conducting research for this project, we found that most topics regarding prostitution and its affiliates were controversial. Each author gave a differing interpretation for the same data. Due to this, our project centered on the female prostitutes, even though there is evidence of male prostitutes.
Catherine Smith is a single 42 year old woman with two children. Her job as a secretary is no longer sufficient enough to cover her bills. She does not have a college degree and her job will not cover any part of tuition if she does decide to attend college. One night, while coming home late from work, she noticed women walking around on the street counting their earnings for the night. That is when she acquired the idea to become a prostitute. The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines prostitution as the act or practice of engaging in promiscuous sexual relations in exchange for money. These type of situations occur on a daily basis. Some women really enjoy having sex, so why wouldn’t they want payment for it as well. Prostitution should be legalized in the United States.
Elizabeth Anderson makes a claim that “The attempt to sell gift value on the market makes a mockery of those values.”(Anderson 188) Anderson uses this claim to object commoditized sex (prostitution). There are two premises that Anderson uses to support her claim. The first premise being the gift value of sex cannot be realized in commercial terms and the second premise being that the gift value of sex is more significant that the use value of sex itself.

Prostitution is an act whereby, one sells his/her body for sex. In the United States, Prostitution is divided into three broad categories; street, escort, and brothel prostitution. Brothel prostitution takes place in brothel houses, which are houses where prostitutes can sell sexual services.

Functionalism is the best theory for looking at prostitution. It allows us to see how prostitution changes along with other aspects of society.
...king operations. Most women involved in these places of business are often times harboring children and teens which are sold or ¨rented out¨ for sexual exploitation.

Prostitution is the act of selling ones body for any type of sexual intercourse in exchange for money. Today, both men and women are willingly and forcefully engaged into the industry of sex and prostitution. It is most common for young teenage girls to be involved into this industry rather than a male or older woman. There are several different ways to how individuals are first brought into prostitution. One way is to be kidnapped and forcefully put on to the streets by a "Guerilla Pimp". "Guerilla Pimps" are the men who use their ability and force to kidnap young girls and throw them on to the streets to work as prostitutes (Youth Radio). Another way to be introduced to prostitution is by being persuaded by "Romeo Pimps". "Romeo Pimps" are the men who sweet talk you into situations and act like nothing is wrong with it (Youth Radio).
