Sex Work - Science topic

You can't name any research though can you? I have done research for more than 10 years. I ask women about sex and orgasm via the internet and also in my daily life. Most refuse to comment. I have never met a woman who is willing to have an open discussion. Men though often seem to think they know it all but they quote erotic fiction and cannot explain any of the contradictions and anomalies that I am highlighting - such as why do men talk about sex while women are silent. Please take your ignorance elsewhere!

Hello, my Masters (dissertation) was on Young females in the care system in Ireland becoming involved in prostitution. I found it nearly impossible to interview service users with this history due to ethical issues but I was able to interview staff working with these women and some of the staff came through the care system and ended up working in that area. At present I am looking at my PhD and extending this research into trafficking (migrants, asylum seekers and refugees) coming into Ireland for the sole purpose of sex work.

Kind regards

Dear Umut Can Öztürk!

Thank you for your answer. In my country, I have already managed to get 200 answers to the questionnaire. I would like to extend the research to other countries. I am looking for authors from other countries to publish together.

Best regards

Hi, John,

You are asking for opinions, so I will weigh in on the tax portion of your questions. Yes, I think it makes sense to collect tax, because to not do so presents a horizontal equity problem. If "sex workers" are, legitimately, workers, then why would they not be subject to the same general societal rules as other, non-sex workers? That is, to not tax them the same as other workers is to provide an indirect government subsidy to that industry, and you've not made the case that we should subsidize that work. (I don't have a case for that subsidy either.) There are times perhaps when their income will be too low for tax, and that's ok because income level is what exempts them from tax instead of industry, but my point is, if you're a legal worker and abide by the general tax code. You might review Adam Smith's Wealth of Nations work on how a good tax is a fair tax for support of my position.

Best of luck on your research.

Dear Mona. A few years ago, one of my MSW students in research conducted her majjor research work on this topic. There are many many articles and I am sure since then (6 yrs ago) the literature has increased. First, narrow the topic and make it more focused, then use specific terms to do a lit search that can easily be located. Let me know if you need assistance with the lit review. I have some of my studnet's articles (about 100) too many to post.

I have not done such studies, but I would like to know what these studies are and what their impact on the person is because I hear a lot of people talking to them or seeing them in a dream causing them shocks

One possibility is prefacing these questions with a brief explanation that the questions refer to consenting partners, since reaching age of majority, and excluding any sex work.

Your data will be noisier if you leave it up to the respondent to include or not. If you want to focus on consenting sexual behavior outside of sex work, then I would recommend specifying.

Please let me know if this reference/site is helpful to you:

It should be as much about criminalizing those who partake of the services rather than the women or men forced to take part look at turn out the red light campaign. Untill those who pay for these services arevpenalised little can be done to address this whole area.

You'd really need to stratify and segment the market to get these figures in any meanjngful way, and other factors intervene. The more organised higher class levels are pretty fastidious about testing etc and even lower down safe sex is the norm. The ones who practice unsafe are usually ostracized and guys who require it blacklisted, but there are much lower levels eh trafficked women where the women are just abused and when they are no longer marketable may be deliberately infected. However, where infection does occur at lower levels it is usually a result of drug use, which of course is a major reason why women are on the streets. CDC has figures.

This paper raises a number of key issues relevant to your question:

Laverack, G. and Whipple, A. (2010) The Sirens’ Song of Empowerment:  A case study of health promotion and the New Zealand Prostitutes Collective. Global Health promotion. Vol 17(1): 33-38.

I think one area of increasing importance (and one that is sometimes overlooked) is the effect that trafficking is having on the "source" country's perceptions on prostitution. So, for example, if there are a load of women being trafficked from Country X, then that country's overall perceptions towards sex work, in general, will be affected by this. Such national experiences lead to all future sex workers being seen as the victims of  coercive action.

Gelsthorpe, L, has some recent research on the human trafficking of women, in relation to sex work as well as forced labor more generally.

Hoping this is of some help.

The HPV virus has to reach the basal cells of the cervix. Therefore, there must be some form of break in the epithelium for the HPV to reach the basal cells. Cervicitis is one way in which there can be a break in the epithelium. A similar situation exists in throat cancer and the relationship between smoking and drinking spirits. The smoking and spirit drinking results in a break in the epithelium and therefore HPV can reach the basal cells. In cervical cancer it does not have to be cervicitis and the process of metaplasia is also thought to be associated.
