I run escort agencies across Europe. I have done so for many years. I am good at and my businesses all have excellent reputations with both escorts and clients. Even with hotels, night clubs and bars that have ongoing relationships with firms such as mine. As a student of my profession and the industry in general I watched the development and legislative passage of the two most offensive laws I have ever seen passed, even by an institution as perverse, hypocritical and twisted as the United States Congress and Senate. I have also watched with a growing and strange mixture of horror, fascination and excitement as the effects of those bills have moved through the internet, the sex industry and then metastasised across social media and the whole internet.
The horror came from the effect that I could see the laws were going to have on the poor women working in the industry, who are left with no way to attract new clients as sites such as Back-page close down no way to talk to their existing clients as WhatsApp, Skype and social media shadow bans and censors conversations, and even face the loss of their property as Google just closes down accounts and refuses to return the contents of their Google Drives. The fascination came from wondering what was to come next as the industry adapted and evolved as it always has and always will. The excitement came from the fact that, if I am lucky, we might be entering an age of prohibition for the sex industry. Yes, I said if I am lucky. Escort agencies that are well run and well resourced and work with the sexiest escorts Marbella and elsewhere have to offer will do well no matter what the law and internet says. Prohibition was not exactly bad for the owners of the speakeasies, was it? Ans the fact that it is illegal has not exactly slowed down the narcotics business has it?
It is like Mae West once said “I believe in censorship. I made a fortune out of it.” Well, I am no Mae West and nor am I an Al Capone or Pablo Escobar. But as the owner of some of the best escort agencies in Europe and with a large database (kept very securely away from Google, thank you very much) of wonderful clients and escorts I should do very nicely in the changing environment, thank you very much.
