[Sex Workers Ghetto Gaggers Prostitution] The question of the day is: “Is the sex work sector over saturated?” For many people the answer to that question is an easy “no”. For them, how could sex work, the world oldest profession, ever experience a slump in financial transactions? The hard truth of the matter is the industry of prostitution is currently experiencing a hyper influx of people both male and female who are all competing to provide a vast array of sexual services to those willing to purchase them. It's been estimated that at least 70% of accounts on onlyfans.com belong to sex workers. However, the issue that many people are facing including people who patronize sex workers and sex workers themselves is the hidden hand of the free market.
The old saying is “talk is cheap” and due to market forces, so has sex. It used to be not that long ago that people who engaged in sex work either real-world or online, were able to earn more money than they would have working a 9-5 in America. In fact, during that time It was also discovered that many sex workers not only ceased looking for employment, but they found that it was somewhat “beneath” them to work a traditional job that paid less than what they were used to making as a sex worker. That no longer seems to be the case.
On the one hand, those who patronize sex workers have an overabundance of sex workers that are willing to cater to their desires to choose from which means that there is a surplus of sex workers in the market. On the other hand, when there are too many sex workers in the market (as with any other product or service), the price that consumers are willing to pay for that product or service, which in this case are sexual services, becomes cheaper. This occurs when sex workers like any other industry are forced by market forces to lower their prices to remain competitive in a hyper-saturated sex industry.
That not the root cause of the issue of the exponentially growing number of people engaging in sex work in America. From the perspective of small number Sociologists, the root cause of the high number of sex workers in America is a complex one that is affected by several variables. The first of many variables was the rise of social porn. In essence it was the deregulation of the adult entertainment industry. This means that the social acceptance of social porn websites like x-videos.com, xnxx.com, onlyfans.com, and Pornhub.com and many others played a pivotal role in the social conditioning, social acceptance, and the encouraging of people to upload their own pornography videos for profit.
The second variable out of many was the fact that the population of sites like Elon Musk’s X.com and dedicated online adult private meet-up platforms like megapersonals.com has increased the level of ease in which people could engage in the solicitation and payment for sexual entertainment at their fingertips. Then there was the social breakdown that was fueled by the gender wars on social media for several years which had a detrimental impact on the American dating market between men and women. Whereas in the past, men had to somewhat chase women in a perpetual game of cat and mouse to engage in sexual activities.
Now, the dating market over the last two decades seems to have transformed into a transactional based cesspool of “getting to the point” and the laying down of personal expectations on the proverbial table which led to both men and women engaging in “concession talks”. These concession talks allow both men and women to negotiate how much a man must pay a woman directly or indirectly in exchange for sex with them. This system of “direct talks” between men and women has appeared to throw love and marriage out of the window in favor of a more financially tactical outcome which translates into: men want sex – women want money.
On top of that, there was the cumulation of a series of economic downturns in America that impacted millions of Americans which promoted them, especially women, to transition into becoming sex workers. For example, there was the 2008 housing collapse, natural disasters such as hurricane Harvey and others. Then there was the covid-19 era. After that, there were the massive amounts of Americans who found themselves laid off recently due to governmental policy shifts, coupled with the number of businesses closing in record numbers.
In addition to that, there is the record-breaking economic inflation that all Americans are currently facing and the economic uncertainty that comes attached to it. Finally, let us not forget about the perpetually unemployable sector of American society coupled with those who find themselves underemployed (mostly college graduates). All of these variables and more, according to Sociologists have/are playing a vital role in the oversaturation of sex workers in America; and the effects are not only devastating, but has essentially reduced what was once considered a woman's last tool of financial resort to earn income, to nothing more than a the price of mozzarella cheese sticks on a sonic menu with monetary inflation behind it.
