To establish what a prostitute is, one should turn to the exact wording of her occupation. Prostitution is a business or practice of engaging in sexual activity in exchange for a payment in the form of money, goods, services, or any other benefit agreed upon between the parties to the transaction. This practice is sometimes called commercial sex. A prostitute is the person (equally a woman or a man) who receives payment for the sexual services provided to him.
According to the public majority, modern sex workers are most often victims of circumstances, people with low living standards, who need money or to satisfy their drug addiction. This is far from always true, especially given the rich and diverse history of prostitution. Among the paid libertines there were always those for whom such activity was a necessary measure, and those who consciously, without hesitation, chose this path. One thing remained unchanged: professional graduation from inconceivably expensive to the cheapest prostitutes.
Classification of "night butterflies"
The cost of services, and hence the earnings of the prostitutes, largely depends on their belonging to certain levels directly related to the places where prostitutes trade.
Very conditionally sexual workers can be divided according to the level of payment into three main categories, which vary significantly depending on countries, regions and settlements. Each category, in turn, is divided into several types.
- Cheap prostitutes seek out customers on the streets, along highways, in ports, at train stations, and serve on the road drivers of cars and heavy vehicles.
- Street prostitutes can also enter the middle price segment, but at a higher level and in more prestigious habitats. Basically, these are workers in brothels, special massage parlors, prostitutes who work in nightclubs, bars, and hotels. The most common type serving on call, the main representative on adult sites.
- Dear prostitutes, who are more likely to be elite in advertising, are intended only for wealthy gentlemen. In Russia, sex workers who receive $ 200 per hour can be considered as such, in Europe this amount exceeds the equivalent of $ 1, 000. In Russia, a confused woman, receiving $ 2, 000 from a client, can safely classify herself as a VIP-level. There are not many of them. Their appearance, professional skills, education and behavior are closer to art than to prostitution.
Commercial Sex Elite
There is a special, not numerous kind of confused. This is the creamy layer over the cesspool of the sex industry. Their services are so expensive that only the wealthiest, most influential and famous people in the world can use them. The image of such sex deities has always been of constant interest, both men and women, and, as a result, the question arose: what is a prostitute of this level, how is she different from the rest, and why is she paid so much?
First of all, these are both sexes people, if not of exceptional beauty, then, of course, very attractive. Youth, good looks and a magnificent well-groomed body are the most important aspects, but they will not do it, even from elite prostitutes, so perfect in their field of creation. They invest whole states in their image and appearance. And, like any super-class specialist, they own all the intricacies of the profession. The variety of services and the level of their skill are such that customers are ready to fly through half the world and pay tens of thousands of dollars for several hours spent in their company.
Undoubtedly, these people are extremely intelligent, often have a good education, and apply the features of practical psychology very well. Often they have decent success in sports, choreography, music, vocals, other areas of art, or at least have good skills in these areas. Wherever they appear, they always attract everyone's attention. Each of them, without exception, has a special artistry and a certain charisma, which makes them highly attractive.
Sometimes such people have already succeeded markedly on television, in show business, advertising, the world of fashion, theater, and cinema. And their images can flaunt in glossy publications or in the headings of web news, and not among photos of prostitutes, but as glamorous models and participants in prestigious parties.
Since such entities should initially possess special qualities, knowledge and skills that are not directly related to prostitution, they do not accidentally fall into this echelon, and even more so, from lower levels.
The most expensive gay escort
$ 7, 000 or more costs one night with gay Josh Brandon, one of London's highest paid escorts. His annual income can be up to $ 500, 000. Josh is a little over twenty, he is British and, dreaming of conquering the world of fashion, he moved to London four years ago, where his dreams did not come true. Josh became a star, but in a world of prostitution. Now he lives in Soho, a prestigious area of the city and accepts invitations from customers from all over the world.
$ 25, 000 per night
If we talk about prostitutes of the most expensive, then Lauren (Lauren Grace Pope) is just such, although in fact this famous socialite is an actress playing a popular television character in England, a glamorous model, DJ, music producer and entrepreneur. She is beautiful, talented, world famous and breathtakingly sexy. At the same time, Lauren is one of the highest paid escorts, which is incredibly difficult to get. A night spent with her will cost $ 25, 000 or more, and her company’s weekend costs $ 50, 000. Most of her clients are on the Forbes list.
$ 200, 000 Chevalier
What is a prostitute gigolo? This is the name of the special representatives of male sexual services intended only for women. The most expensive paid gentleman is the Japanese Hikaru Aizawa, who earns up to $ 200, 000 a night. In addition to the fee, Hikaru's clientele showers him with expensive gifts. One of the ladies presented him a watch, of which there are only two copies in the world (the second belongs to Brad Peet). Another client gave a bottle of Japanese Soja worth $ 7, 000. Gigolo also claims that all the chic furnishings of his expensive apartment are lovely souvenirs of admirers.
Everyone is in danger
It would seem, unlike cheap prostitutes, the professional elite is better than others protected from attacks. But this is not a fact. And the upper layer is subjected to violence, even with a fatal outcome.
In 2007, in one of her own London apartments, one of the most expensive professionals was strangled - porn star 30-year-old Trudy Webb. Among the regular customers who paid this gorgeous blonde $ 4, 000 a night were movie and football superstars, wealthy bankers and businessmen, as well as a couple of Middle Eastern oil tycoons.
The most risky profession
If we talk about danger, then according to American sociologists, prostitution is a more risky occupation than logging, fishing in Alaska or the work of oilmen on offshore platforms. Of the 100, 000 sex workers, 204 experience fatal violence (occupational mortality among fishermen: 129 per 100, 000). The highest mortality rate is observed among cheap prostitutes. Each of the street prostitutes is subjected to physical attacks at least once a month, although without lethal consequences. Prostitutes are easy prey because they cannot officially complain to the police without being arrested.
There is even no doubt that in countries with lower living standards and for Russian prostitutes in particular, these figures are much higher.
Internet is the engine of debauchery
More and more sex trade deals are being made online. The reasons for this are numerous: more anonymity, security for both the business itself and employees. The network simplifies the reception of orders and the choice in the price list of services for every taste. It offers girls of all ages, types and stripes; prostitutes are cheap, expensive and at moderate prices. Online forums also attract more affluent customers.
The ability to find customers without departing from the monitor created many job vacancies for individual prostitutes who had not thought of trading their own bodies before. So there was a huge number of proposals from mature women, whose summers have long surpassed the forty-year mark.
Age is not a hindrance
Oddly enough, the web pages of mature prostitutes are of considerable interest to a certain contingent. The main clientele is men of advanced years who feel more confident and calm with women of their age.
The reasons that prompted the ladies to such a decision are several: loneliness, widowhood, increased self-esteem. But the main factor remains financial problems, aggravated in times of crisis: job loss or a small pension, increased prices and the cost of utilities, as well as the need to pay for treatment.
For example, South Korea has long become a notorious country where, despite the illegality and regular police raids, there are the largest number of older sex workers. It is impossible to say with confidence that they are among the cheapest prostitutes, but the payment for their services is very low. This is one of the dark sides of the rapid economic growth in this country - the violation of traditional relations between children and parents, as a result of which many old people were left without the support of their children and, moreover, with a miserable pension or not at all. In Seoul, there are certain places where very elderly ladies defile in search of customers. Among them, at times, you can see clean, neat old women in breeches and sneakers, older than 70 and even 80 years old, who can only pay their bills.
The oldest prostitutes
If someone believes that women who sell body products have an age limit for their activity, then they are deeply mistaken. Among the sexual workers there are old-timers who have become world famous due to the extremely advanced age at which they continued their work.
One of those is considered the 75-year-old Fokens twins: Martina and Louise. They are recognized as the oldest prostitutes in the city of Amsterdam, where they worked in this field for 50 years. In 2013, having celebrated their 71st year of birth, they decided to resign. The twins began their fishing when they were 20 years old, and most often worked in pairs, which gave them a special piquancy. According to the ladies, together they served more than 335, 000 customers.
In Britain, the oldest working prostitute is considered the 85-year-old Gran Sheila Vogel Coupe. Four years ago, after the death of her second husband, she found a new exciting business for herself, citing loneliness as the main reason that prompted her to this. And it should be noted that Sheila thrives well, earning £ 250 per hour and accepting 10 clients per week.
Age record
But the record holder was the Englishwoman Millie Cooper (1915). Having married an American, she emigrated to the United States. After the death of her husband at the front in World War II, Millie in the mid-forties began to earn a living by prostitution. She always belonged to the highest paid category. After the accumulation of capital, Cooper became the mistress of a brothel with a dozen prostitutes subordinate to her and, having remarried, Millie moved away from individual practice. But at the age of 64, while continuing to run the brothel, she decided to shake the old days and return to direct work with the clientele. It is not known whether the lady works now, but at 96 she was still an elite class prostitute and earned $ 1, 250 per session, accepting men twice a week. And the age of her clients ranged from 29 to 92 years.
The question is intriguing: why is it so attractive, one might say, a decrepit prostitute, and what is so unusual that she could offer men? The answer is known only to its visitors. It remains only to assume that many years of experience are a great force.
