This is a must read for anyone who thinks prostitution is a victimless crime. Through investigating the motives and beliefs behind Johns, or mongers as they refer to themselves, the author makes a very clear case for holding johns responsible for their crimes and for making the buying of sex a crime. Interestingly, those countries that have legalized prostitution have not solved the many problems with prostitution in their countries, and in most cases legalization has made matters worse. Prostitution is exploitation, plain and simple, and should not be tolerated by any society that respects human rights. ( ) This was a tough book to read and I'd have rated it higher were it not for the far-too-extensive quotes from men who post on bulletin boards about their experiences buying sex and 'the girlfriend experience' (extra charges may apply). It would have benefited from fewer quotes and more summary/analysis. Still, this is an important book. I particularly liked Malarek's challenge to those ex sex-workers who claim they don't get any respect and fight for the rights of prostitutes. His point: all women should have equal rights and equal opportunities, and if they actually did, there isn't a single one who'd willingly become a prostitute, Pretty Woman fantasy notwithstanding. This book explores the minds of the various types of men who purchase sex. It was definitely a valuable read. It definitely makes one take a deeper look at the world. I like that Victor Malarek also introduces the reality of sex slavery to readers. It was definitely emotionally packed. I strongly recommend this book to conscientious readers. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
Each year, more than 800,000 women and children are lured, tricked, or forced into prostitution to meet an apparently insatiable demand, joining an estimated 10 million women already ensnared in the $20 billion worldwide sex trade. To date, most research on the subject has focused on the various issues that propel these women into the trade, but little has been investigated, or written, about those who trigger the demand--the "Johns." In this hard- hitting expose´, Victor Malarek ranges worldwide, unmasking the kind of men--and organizations--that foster and drive the sex trade, from America to Europe, Brazil to Thailand, Phnom Penh to St. Petersburg and Costa Rica. From socioeconomic background to emotional stability, Malarek investigates the root of the cause and attacks the idea that prostitution is a victimless crime. He explores the efficacy of Sweden's outlawing the buying--rather than the selling--of sex, and its dramatic impact on the country's prostitution rates. The Johns is a chilling look into a dark corner of the world that these men have created at the expense of countless women and children. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
