Abstract

This article addresses the increasing popularity of the internet as a profi t center for the commercial sex industry. In their study of responses to decoy sex ads placed in an online forum, the authors found that those seeking escort services are highly infl uenced by the location of the ad as well as by the appearance, race, and ethnicity of those in the decoy photographs. They also discovered that ad responders were numerous and seriously intent on purchasing sexual services. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
