Up thread I linked an article detailing allegations by a sex worker in a law suit she’s bringing. I’ve often but not always worked in highly regulated environments as well. This is an entirely different level of control.
Why do you think that adult sex workers are incapable of making their own choices, based on whatever they think is in their own best interests?
I don’t think that. But apparently those who run brothels prefer a system where the brothel owners control the lives of the sex workers.
You got that from one data point?
Apparently the State of Nevada prefers such a system.
ZiprHead understood--economy of scale. It's the fundamental issue with a lot of businesses: the job needs an X but one worker doesn't need a whole X. Group several workers with one X and the output per worker goes up. X in this case being promotion, bouncer etc, as well as being more attractive to the customer because there will be a variety of women to choose from. The customer is going to get a better experience from a brothel and thus would generally choose them over an independent. That's why an awful lot of skilled services work in a group setting even though the actual work is always one-on-one.
My understanding (no first hand experience, it is completely not my thing) is that there are higher-end independents working in the tourist areas. However, the organizations provide a lot of safety to their workers in the form of very quickly circulating any address that was a police sting. The police have to go to all the work of setting up a sting and they can spring it only once. The result is in the absence of trouble the police don't try.
And you didn't respond when I pointed out that some of her allegations were simply the brothel owners obeying the law. I don't put much credence in someone who sues because the law was followed.
