Prostitution Is Not Just an Industry that Involves Women

A look at male prostitution statistics shows that of the 40-42 million prostitutes in the world, 8-8.42 million are thought to be men. The face of male prostitution in developed countries is quite different than that of women prostitutes. In a study by Humanity In Action it was discovered that many male prostitutes enter the paid-sex-industry voluntarily. A second fact discovered was that many male prostitutes do not need the money. Those facts are not true of all male prostitutes. In a report published by the Juvenile Justice Information Exchange, 50% of the 100,000 children trafficked for sex are boys. Even sadder, when it comes to trafficked children, boys are often off the radar. The bias of society and law enforcement tends to tilt towards women and girls over men and boys. Part of that has to do with the view of homosexuals world-wide. Those children, boys and girls, are not entering the paid-sex-industry voluntarily.
