Online Prostitution: Www.Craigslist.Com

The word prostitute is not foreign in any county. Of course there is different ways of saying it, but in the end it all means the same thing. The word prostitution means to commit a sexual act in exchange for money, or other materials. Prostitution has been termed "the oldest profession", and can be traced back as far as the 18th century B.C. It comes to no surprise that unfortunately prostitution is still being practiced today.

When you think of a prostitute the first thing that pops in your mind is a female walking up and down a busy street, in a shady part of town. Is there any truth to that, or is that just a stereotype that has been developed over the years? Almost everyone has driven down "that street" that every town has, and seen a women or two walking and trying to flag down cars, while wearing next to nothing. I would often catch a glimpse of them and wonder to myself "why would any women do that to themselves" being a women myself I just can't seem to understand how money can influence an women to degrade herself in such a manor. However, these are just a few of the prostitutes of the world. What about the ones in Vegas, that are legal, and make thousands of dollars a day working in a bordello? What about "call girls" working for escort services? And lets not forget the newest fad of Craig's list working girls.

Can you really find a prostitute on the famous website www.craigslist.com? Sadly enough the answer is yes, and not only there, but you can find them on almost any personal dating site. In defense of these sites, most of them are run based on users following the rules. With millions of ads being added daily users must act as the monitor of these sites. That is why sites such as Craig's list allows users to monitor, flag, and remove ads that other users place if a rule has been broken. However, if you click onto links such as NSA (no strings attached) or adult services, you can find plenty of prostitutes, and they are not all women. You can find men, transsexuals, transvestites, couples, and more. I have to ask myself "is the failing economy so bad, that people have resorted to this lifestyle in order to survive?"

Knowing that it is illegal to commit the act of prostitution and / or soliciting for prostitution, most online prostitutes will attempt to cover their tracks. Instead of their ad saying "for $200.00" it is common for prostitutes to type " for 200 roses". Roses, pieces of candy, kisses, etc...these are all common items used to express a dollar amount. Before typing this piece I replied to a female who was larger in size, and less then attractive in my opinion. She was asking for "150 roses for thirty minutes of her time". I replied to her add honestly, I told her I was writing an article, and I would like to know a little more about the industry of online prostitution. She replied, and agreed to a phone conference where I found out some amazing information. This lady calls herself "Sugar" but admitted she changes her name every few weeks. When I asked her why she sold her body, her answer was simple. "I do it for the money" was her reply. She then went on to tell me that she makes over $1200 a week, only works a few hours, and has everything she wants. Still I have to wonder "at what cost"? What about diseases some of which have no cure, and some in which are deadly? And what happens if you get caught? depending on the state you live in you could be facing a night in jail or even a prison sentence.

Regardless of the risk involved, it seems to be spreading like wildfire. On a Friday night in a metro area, you can find over 100 post, posted by prostitutes in a twenty four hour period. How can we put an end to the oldest profession in the world? I guess no matter how much we advance, the lure of making fast cash will always provide the world with prostitutes. But if your thinking about hiring a prostitute or becoming one, consider this. Local police departments work both sides, solicitation and "johns". If you are caught, you will be arrested. An arrest involving prostitution in any since can cost you your family, and your career. Diseases are easily spread, and it is very common to contract diseases from engaging in these acts. And most importantly, what about yourself? No matter what, or who you are, you are better than this.
