Online prostitution picks up steam
( 2003-09-30 12:47) (China Daily)
With the National Day holidays
just around the corner, illegal escort services are once again thriving on the
Internet, according to a reporter from Beijing Evening News.
The reporter was in an online chatroom when someone operating under the
title, "finding a paid escort" caught his attention. After engaging in some
small talk, the "net friend" came directly to the point: "Do you want to have
sex with me?" When the reporter dodged the question, the "net friend" went
suddenly silent.
But another "net friend" then asked the reporter if he was looking for
someone to spend the holidays with and even left a telephone number. "The young
lady can provide round-the-clock service, if you wish," the "friend" added.
The reporter discovered that most of the "tourist escorts" offering their
services were female college students whose fees were either stated or could be
negotiated.
