Sex Trade Sociology

[midLifeCrisis]

I've just read Dispelling Myths and Understanding Realities, by Benoit & Millar.

Pretty good sociological paper giving the background, attitudes and situations of a sample of 147 active and 54 retired sex-trade workers in the Victoria, BC region. It's written in a chatty style and the authors don't seem to have any particular axe to grind.

Man oh man that's some lengthy paper. I think I'll wait for the movie.

It was written in 2001, surprised we haven't heard about it before.

From a fast scan it seems to be well done. I am not clear or didnt find if the subjects of the reserarch were mostly street hookers, or private professional sexworkers. The results I believe would be vasty different depending on who most of her subjects were.
