A research project about prostitution worldwide

What is this?

This is the World Sex Guide, a collection of prostitution related information about most countries of the world. Many articles were originally posted to the usenet newsgroup alt.sex.prostitution and have subsequently been archived here, others were sent in by email.

Every prostitution related resource on the internet should be accessible from here. If you feel offended by stuff like this, just don't read on.

There are no ads, pictures, graphics, sounds or java applets on this site. No flashing colors and blinking shit either. We don't need that stuff, because we have information instead.

All this material was contributed by anonymous volunteer researchers. We don't accept advertising money from sex-care providers or others.

What is alt.sex.prostitution?

The usenet newsgroup alt.sex.prostitution is devoted to discussions concerning prostitution, as the name suggests. Hookers and their customers hang out there. Every article posted there that does not have the letters "ASP" in its subject line is noise and should be ignored. One aim of the group is to create market transparency for sex related services. To achieve this, people post reports about their experiences with certain service providers, and others ask for more information. (Usenet is like a worldwide bulletin board.) We, the archive maintainers, try to save all valuable postings and incorporate them in this document. Read more about alt.sex.prostitution in the excellent alt.sex.prostitution FAQ. If you don't know how to access usenet newgroups, ask your sysadmin.

Frequently asked questions about the World Sex Guide

  • When is the next update of the Sex Guide due? How often do you update?
    We update whenever we feel like it. It mostly depends on how much stuff we get from contributors and whether the received material justifies sacrificing a weekend. In the past, we've updated every two to three months. Don't ask, don't tell. We post an announcement to alt.sex and alt.sex.prostitution after every update, and the fuckers and vice cops (and fucking vice cops) around the world rejoice.
  • But do you still maintain the guide at all?
    Yes. If we should ever stop maintaining it, we will announce it here and on the newsgroup. The guide will then be put in the public domain so that someone else can take over.
  • Do you have information about the scene in XYZ?
    All we know is on the web. There's no point in asking us for more stuff. We won't reply. Your best bet is to do a Deja News search and if you don't find anything, post a request to the usenet newsgroup alt.sex.prostitution. Before posting there though, read the FAQ to find out about the special Subject line conventions used in that group. The FAQ also explains the very useful Power Search facility of Deja News.
  • Can you give me the email address of the guy who contributed article XYZ? Or could you give him my email adress? Or could you forward a message to him?
    No. No. No. Researchers who contributed to the guide will never be bothered with stuff like this unless they explicitely wish to have their (anon-) email address mentioned. Most people who contributed to the Guide hang out in alt.sex.prostitution, so you can always try to post there.
  • Can you give me the chick's phone number that you censored out, among friends?
    No, my friend.
  • We don't have alt.sex.prostitution on our news server!
    Well, ask your system administrator about it and if they insist on censoring, they deserve to go bankrupt. Switch providers.
    There's also a way to read news articles on the web, even though reading them locally is a lot faster and more comfortable. If you must, try alt.sex.prostitution on Deja News. This might be the method of choice for people struck by hard-core censorship that won't go away.
  • Can you post something for me on alt.sex.prostitution?
    No. Check out the ASP FAQ for information about how to post anonymously by email.
  • Is all the information in the guide correct?
    Most definitely not. Some of it is outdated, other parts have been contributed by guys with strange tastes, and still others might even have come from sex workers pretending to be pleased customers or from law enforcement. Use your judgement. If you find inaccurate information, send in an update.
  • This site is great! How can I thank you?
    Don't send money. Don't send thank-you-emails. Instead, do some research on your own and send in a report.
  • Are you interested in information about XYZ?
    Yes. No need to ask.
  • How can I contribute? Will I be anonymous?
    You can either post your information to alt.sex.prostitution (see the alt.sex.prostitution FAQ for information about how to do this anonymously) or you can send email directly to us. The contact info file has details. We won't give out your email address to anyone.
  • Which reports are the most important?
    Those about countries or cities that we don't have any information about so far. Second are reports about establishments not yet covered. Reports about establishments which we cover already are less important, unless you have a correction to make. We don't accept reports about single girls anymore since they outdate fast and are often unreliable. The newsgroup is the appropriate place for this kind of material.
  • If I contribute, should I give full contact information for the establishment?
    Yes, if the establishment is legal in its country. If it's not, it's best to give indirect information that makes it possible to locate the place ("Pick up spectator at any adult store, call the ad of the Hawaiian Ladies at 892-XXX7"). This way, everybody interested will find them, but bigots can't easily complain to the police. Of course, the police could do the detective work themselves, but chances are that they already know about the place and tolerate it.
    The above does of course not apply to ripoffs which should always be fully exposed, complete with name, address, phone number etc.
  • What else should be included in a report?
    I prefer complete price information, including tips. Don't give me the "reasonably priced" crap. Think about the needs of travelers: precise directions, opening hours etc. The more information the better. We are scientists here at World Sex Headquarters.
  • What format should the report be in?
    Plain ASCII text is best. HTML is also ok, but less so. If your English is poor: no problem -- Americans can't speak English either. Don't write EVERYTHING IN CAPS and start a new paragraph every once in a while. All submissions are subject to editing.
  • How did you implement the search engine?
    We didn't; Infoseek did. Check it out.
  • Wouldn't it be cool to have some hot pictures along with the reports?
    No. They would slow down the downloading and would't convey any information. There's plenty of free jack-off material to be had elsewhere on the internet; by contrast, this here is a scientific endeavor.
  • But surely some colorful background patterns, frames, java applets, sounds, spiffy graphics, etc. wouldn't hurt?
    Please kill yourself now.
  • How many hits to you get? I'd love to put sex ad banners on your pages?
    The site generates about 500,000 hits per week for a total of about 6 GB traffic per week. And now fuck off, asshole.
  • Who are you?
    And you?
