Prostitution in a Post-Collapse Society

The defectors told NFI the organized provision of sexual services at Army bases all around the country was well established.
“The top customers of prostitutes are North Korean soldiers,” the NFI report said.
“In every [rail] station, prostitutes can be seen waiting for military customers,” the report said. “Working alongside security guards, private homes loaned out by their occupants are used as temporary brothels.
One defector to South Korea, Kim Yoon-suk, told NFI, “Women have to make a living too, and the best they have to offer is their bodies. Their primary source of income is the soldiers. As their sexual desires must be suppressed during military service, the young men are very bold and open about using prostitutes. The women receive food or cash for sleeping with them.”
The spreading pandemic of drug addiction has increased the practice of prostitution among many young female addicts desperate to acquire the money to buy drugs.
“To afford prostitutes, soldiers are said to raid civilian homes, from they which steal with impunity. Without even making an effort to hide themselves, they then make their way to stations or other red-light districts.”
A further consequence of this breakdown of law and order has created another scourge for the increasingly desperate women, the recent defectors said. North Korean soldiers who cannot afford to pay prostitutes or are not able to steal enough money to pay them are increasingly turning to rape. This is creating an increasing number of illegitimate children with impoverished, single mothers. The NFI report described them as “the bastard children of the North Korean army.”
“It is perhaps not a coincidence that every year, the price of penicillin in the black markets shoots up during the period of military checkups,” the report commented. “An injection of penicillin in the target area will temporarily relieve symptoms of venereal disease, such as redness or discharge.” However, despite this widespread practice, “as the root of the problem cannot be dealt with in such a way, exiles testify that the North Korean Army is full of soldiers who are chronically infected with sexually transmitted diseases,” it continued.

Sex scandals triggered almost half of the corruption cases in China this year.
South China Morning Post reported that several judges and officials from Shanghai’s Higher People’s Court were removed from their official and party posts after they were caught on film with prostitutes at a local nightclub. Business Insider even provides a comprehensive list of the major sex scandals that have emerged in China just this year.
The Chinese government’s most recent crackdown on corruption (especially regarding sex scandals) actually resembles a cyclical pattern in the People’s Republic of China. Rutgers University Professors James Finckenauer and Min Liu explain in a recent study on prostitution in China that the government has launched numerous anti-prostitution campaigns at several points since 1949. The most recent campaign was in 2010.
Results have not been forthcoming; as the authors of the study conclude, “the rate of prostitution has increased every year” since 1982. Indeed, the government has built 183 educational and detention centers since 1987 just to house arrested prostitutes and their clients. Although reliable data is hard to come by, the current number of Chinese women working as prostitutes today is estimated at between 3 and 10 million.
Despite implementing multiple crackdown campaigns, the Chinese government has failed to curb China’s prostitution problem. Endemic government corruption and the lack of rule of law in the country is largely to blame.
According to Finckenauer and Liu, “Widespread corruption among law enforcement and government officials is a serious problem in general and a considerable obstacle on the road to containing and eliminating prostitution.”
Some police officers and government officials are even on the payroll of places where prostitutes work, or they will fine prostitutes (instead of arresting them) and use those funds to line their pockets.
In fact, a recent Human Rights Watch (HRW) report notes that China’s Ministry of Public Security says the fines “help supplement the operational costs of local law enforcement.” Even though the Ministry warns local authorities against fining prostitutes instead of arresting them, HRW discloses that “the practice is [still] widespread.”

BBC finds 'organised prostitution' in some China hotels
A BBC Newsnight investigation has uncovered evidence of organised prostitution inside a number of well known, western-branded hotels in China.
The investigation shows that sex is being bought and sold from third party-run businesses, operating from within some hotel premises.
The Ramada, Intercontinental and Kempinski hotels all deny any knowledge of the practice. Prostitution is illegal in China.

The Macau Special Administrative Region (MSAR) of the People’s Republic of China is primarily a destination, and to a much lesser extent, a source territory for women and children subjected to trafficking in persons, specifically commercial sexual exploitation. Victims are primarily from the Chinese mainland, Mongolia, Russia, and Southeast Asia, with many of them from inland Chinese provinces who travel to the border province of Guangdong in search of better employment.
Macau is a source territory for women and girls who are subjected to forced prostitution elsewhere in Asia.

Sheldon Adelson, the billionaire casino magnate and prominent US Republican Party donor, has lost a US$60 million libel lawsuit that centred on an accusation that he had condoned prostitution in his casinos in Macau.
Adelson, 80, is worth US$28 billion and is the 11th-richest American, Forbes magazine said this month. He has donated tens of millions of dollars to Republican candidates and organisations in the 2012 election cycle.

Wow so amaze

Work har fo mony

To protest China’s treatment of prostitutes, activist becomes one
Chinese activist and writer Ye Haiyan, 37, has taken that approach to a whole new level.
As part of a project to expose the mistreatment of prostitutes in China, Haiyan worked as a prostitute herself for a day in the Ten Yuan Brothel in Wuhan in the country’s south central region, reports the Shanghaiist news website. She didn’t accept money for the work, so technically she wasn’t prostituting herself. But nonetheless she posted updates on Weibo, a Chinese version of Twitter, to describe the experience of women who service men, mostly farmers, for a charge of around $8.
Haiyan isn’t necessarily looking to outlaw prostitution. On the contrary, she wants it legalized so that prostitutes can work with a modicum of safety and avoid the harassment that often occurs in an unregulated industry.

It aint the end of the world...
Seeing smokin' hot whores flashing legs and arse doesn't thrill me so much any more... once you meet a few and find out there isn't much there between the ears the attraction goes...

I'm shocked.

I punched up a local 'small' town in my area - Red Deer : It was full of ads..

Red Deer only has maybe 70,000 but there were piles of ads on it.

Why I'm shocked is the amount of prostitution is directly in proportion to the rising poverty level of an area.


It means were fked.

Anyways I *do* want to weigh in on this discussion on the STD part.

www.rethinkingaids.com is a good starting point the discoverer of the virus himself who has been awarded nobel prizes in medicine was clear.

- If you eat nutritionally healthy your body can fight off the HIV virus and return to health.

Added to that was Selenium supplementation - it blocks the replication of all rota-viruses HIV included.

No these are not cures. The point is someone can live and die of old age and never have an issue with the virus by simply taking the right anti-virals.

Additionally another very powerful anti-septic is Cinnamon, and Olive Leaf Extract.

Finally for those with herpes, it can be put into real remission at any time by a large dose of Vitamin C.

These are not the diseases to be feared as they once were.

Sheldon Gary Adelson is an American business magnate. He is the chairman and chief executive officer of the Las Vegas Sands Corporation, the parent company of Venetian Macao Limited which operates The Venetian Resort Hotel Casino and the Sands Expo and Convention Center. He also owns the Israeli daily newspaper Israel HaYom.
His family was Ukrainian Jewish.
In 2008 Richard Suen, a Hong Kong businessman who had helped Adelson make connections with top Chinese officials in order to obtain the Macao license, took Adelson to court in Las Vegas alleging he had reneged on his agreement to allow Suen to profit from the venture.
Allegedly, Chinese officials were bribed to allow Adelson to build his Macau casino.
In August 2012, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC), after being threatened with a libel suit, apologized and withdrew two blog posts that claimed Adelson had donated "Chinese prostitution money" to Republicans.[67] A federal judge eventually dismissed the suit in September 2013, ordering Adelson to pay the DCCC's legal fees.

I wonder why the cops don't crack down on the BP hoes. How hard is it to have police detectives visit with hotel managers in the area and have them report known prostitutes if they check into their hotel? Personally I wouldn't want my hotel being used as a brothel if I ran one. And if the hotel managers didn't care i would threaten to have code enforcement come down on their ass if they didn't report it. Also these girls always have a stupid disclaimer on their ads attempting to state that if LE tries to arrest them it is entrapment. NO IT IS NOT!! You are running a freaking ad soliciting yourself dumb ass hoe. LOL.

Never going to stop prostitution. Might as well accept it. Some people are never going to be safe about it. Where it is illegal there will always be a lot of corruption protecting them. By keeping prostitution illegal the problems with pimps and human trafficking will continue.

To quote Robin Williams;
" I don't understand why prostitution is illegal. Selling
is legal, fucking is legal. Why isn't selling fucking legal?
Why is it illegal to sell something that is perfectly legal to give away?"

Also these girls always have a stupid disclaimer on their ads attempting to state that if LE tries to arrest them it is entrapment. NO IT IS NOT!! You are running a freaking ad soliciting yourself dumb ass hoe...."

AC typed the above wearing rubber gloves. In a furnished room. With newspapers covering the walls. And nothing on the hotplate.

By now, he's rolling his white van at about 5mph past the girls on the stroll.

A slow crawl. Squirmin' and talking to himself. In whispers.

Stay safe, girls.

Gotta love your man.

You could make a porn with condoms and get 500 dollars for like 45 min worth of sex. Its legal and safe. Why would you ho on the street. Dildo your self on web cam for 20 bucks a hour nobody is even touchin you.

WTF?? Sounds like you have nothing on the hotplate. Then again I'm probably arguing with mental midget here. I'm not out rolling around looking for street hoes. I'm talking about the girls who run ads on the internet on public boards soliciting for adult services. Then they put these stupid disclaimers up that state they are not prostituting but then attribute that to consent between adults. When the ad is obviously for prostitution. (Not to mention their own websites or reviews that incriminate them.) Then try to spin that to say that LE would be entraping them by trying to arrest them. No entrapment would be some girl sitting in a bar minding her own business and some undercover trying to pay her for sex in order to make an arrest. That would be entrapment.

Is Prostitution Psychologically Harmful to Prostitutes?
PTSD is normative among prostituted women. Farley et al. (2003) found a PTSD prevalence rate of 68% among those in prostitution in nine countries. This rate was comparable to the rates of PTSD among battered women seeking shelter, rape survivors, and survivors of state-sponsored torture.
These data are supported by similar studies reporting high levels of past year depressive symptoms in 64% to 70% of street sex workers, and well exceed the rates of current depression in both incarcerated women (10%) and women in the general population (5% to 9%).

police is looking now for dozens of men who have 'exploited' thid 15 year old girl

in fact she exploited their lust...

Prostitution thrived in Italy in the Middle Ages. The city of Venice declared in 1358 that brothels were indispensable, and courtesans achieved high social status in Venice, particularly in the 17th century.
A 2008 report stated that were some 100,000 prostitutes in Italy. In 2007 it was stated that the total number of workers was 70,000. The Italian Statistics Institute stated the number of street workers in 1998 was 50,000.

University students and single mothers are among the many women in Italy who have turned to “virtual sex” work to get by.

Italy’s ongoing financial crisis has led older women to turn to the online pornography industry. Susanna, a single mother of two, was a chef at a fancy restaurant in Pisa. After she lost her job as the financial crisis hit and customers stopped coming to the restaurant, she found that becoming a webcam girl would pay some 3,000 euros ($3,988) and was the “only way to survive.”

Currently, the employment rate for women in Italy is 47 percent, among the lowest in the European Union.

Canada legalizes pimping and brothels

Terri-Jean Bedford, Amy Lebovitch and Valerie Scott, argued that Canada's prostitution laws were unconstitutional.
The applicants argued that the laws deprive sex workers of their right to security by forcing them to work in secret.
The three applicants all work or worked in the sex trade[6] and Amy Lebovitch and Valerie Scott are members of Sex Professionals of Canada (SPOC), an organization which campaigns for the rights of sex workers and the full decriminalization of prostitution.

Terri-Jean Bedford, born 15 October 1959, was formerly a prostitute and now works as a professional dominatrix.[2][7] Bedford formerly operated an S&M dungeon in Thornhill, Ontario, called Madame de Sade's House of Erotica, but dubbed the Bondage Bungalow by the press.[8] In 1994 she was charged with operating a bawdy house, and was convicted in 1999.[6][7][8] Throughout the Superior Court trial, Bedford's appearance was notable, dressing all in leather and always appearing with a black leather riding crop.

Amy Lebovitch, born 24 January 1979, has worked in the sex industry since she was 18. She has worked on the street, indoor (independently and with an agency) and in a fetish house.[2][4][10] She has also studied criminology and psychology at the University of Ottawa and social work at Ryerson University in Toronto.[2][10] As of 2013, she continues to work as a sex worker in Ontario and beyond and is the Executive Director for SPOC.

Valerie Scott, born 9 April 1958, entered the sex trade when she was 24.[2][4] She worked on the street, independent indoor, escort and in massage parlours.[6] Scott became an activist in 1985 when she joined SPOC (known as the Canadian Organization for the Rights of Prostitutes at the time).[12] She served as the executive director of SPOC from 2004 to 2011 and is now SPOC's Legal Coordinator.[11][13] For the past 27 years, Scott has spoken at numerous parliamentary committees, universities, community organizations and to the media about the need for decriminalization.
