Its the culture stupid
I think there often is a victim In prostitution: the prostitute. ...The whole business is about as nasty and sleazy as anything can be...-- Bibblesnæð
It's because culturally we need the "act" to be nasty and sleazy. I don't know why, but unfortunately it seems a good part of the allure is that it is naughty, it is dirty. It doesn't have to be, but culturally it is. Looking at porn on the net, most of it is ugly, misogonistic, at least 180 degrees removed from erotic and at worse bereft of anything resembling any kind of humanity. Look at the boob tube, the innuendo is all about being naughty or "forbidden". I am not saying there are not balanced individuals out there with healthy sex lives, but overall as a culture it is pretty sick. Hence most prostitution falls in line with the greater culture and is also sick.
As far as how he was caught. Glenns article suggests he may have been targeted, but more worrisome and more likely is that we all have the same level of monitoring on our transactions and our banks and other financial institutions work hand and hand with big brother.
I fear privacy will be a word that drops from our lexicon, as it continues towards having no meaning.
