So in the late 2000s the form Internet sex work worked was these escort review sites, “The Erotic Review” and “myRedbook” and some others

Which was very client-driven identifying as “hobbyists”, had an elaborate abbreviated codex from the alt-weekly advertising days

Managed enough purchaser unity in the SF Bay Area to normalize the RBGFE (60 mins DFK, DATY, BBBJ, CFS, MSOG for $300)

This was guys flush with dot.com and 2nd wave cash going to the AAMPs in the big apartment buildings lining the freeway in Silicon Valley

“AAMP” = “Apartment Asian Massage Parlor”, usually two adjacent apartments one where 3-6 girls share and one they use for work assignations

I never went, I was in LA this whole time but I heard they were KAAMPs, Korean etc. and the thing was that rural girls had a tradition of going off to the cities for a few years and ahem and then going back home

Which was like “no we didn’t bring them in thinking they were going to work a cafe and take their visas, they’re doing a tour of duty as prostitutes cause they knowingly signed on for a tour of duty as prostitutes”

Then later I learned the South Korean “Miracle on the Han River” rapid urban industrialization was cause its US-supported rightist regime manipulated price and wage levels urban vs. rural so that village families had to send their peasant daughters to the cities as prostitutes or else starve
