Make prostitution legal: another article by London sex workers

Part 2:PIMPS AND PROSTITUTES:The public’s knowledge about prostitutes and their relations to pimps is based mainly on media portrayals, at one end, we see examples of sex workers that are adorable in movies such as Taxi Driver, while at the other end we see images of black fishnet stockings, knee-length boots, and drug use. Because of the general ignorance and misperceptions about sex-work, there is need to illuminate relevant aspects from inside the industry.A escort that also goes by various other names is one who exchanges sex for money, drugs, or other desirable commodities while a pimp is one that controls the actions and lives off the proceeds of a prostitutes. There are various types of prostitutes from the independent high-class/corporate/elite hooker living in a plush apartment in the city centre to the street walker touting passer byes on dingy street corners. Not all sex-work is controlled by a pimp, a lot of the sex workers advertise and work independently while others hire agencies to do the advertising and answer calls for them at a commission, It is sad to say however that the majority of the prostitution in any society is pimp controlled. When prostitutes work for a pimp, they are paid a fraction of what they earn while where and how they work is controlled.In the pimps world, recruitment is the main component of their business model, Pimps recruit individuals of all ages, genders, and races but will usually keep away from minors, in part due to fears of arrest and prosecution. Pimps appeal to prostitutes’ emotional dependencies and economic needs and will promise material comforts among other things, these continued forms of coercion and fraud that include feigning romantic interest make the prostitutes approach friends and other individuals to join their prostitution ring under the pimp. Pimps will usually impose various rules on sex workers and the most common are:Drugs and alcohol: Employees using hard drugs are typically unreliable and a danger to the business.Type of customers : Younger punters are not favoured as they may engage in drug use, be rough, commit robbery, leave without paying, or are pimps scouting for new employees etc, etc, etc In a lot of the cases the pimps double up as drug dealers and use their less popular prostitutes to push their drugs, this is a double standard because when a hooker supplies a customer with drugs, the customer usually wants the sex worker to share the drugs with them while getting intimate, in cases were the prostitute joins in the drug taking, they easily become drug addicts who quickly fall out of favour with the pimp because of the new habit and unreliability that follows. prostitution and drug abuse seem to be associated together but this is possibly due to the fact that prostitution is primarily illegal, drug taking clients know that if they need a fix it would be easier and safer to find a sex worker to get them for you.
