- erikstarck 16y agoI only have links in Swedish but there was a report published a few years ago about prostitution in the Nordics saying that 2.0% of all men and 1.6% of all women had ever sold sex: http://nyheter24.se/nyheter/utrikes/160704-fler-man-an-kvinnor-saljer-sex http://nyheter24.se/nyheter/utrikes/160704-fler-man-an-kvinn... It also concluded that most of these men were homosexual. Here's the report (actually it's in Norwegian): http://kilden.forskningsradet.no/publikasjon/vis.html?tid=58067 http://kilden.forskningsradet.no/publikasjon/vis.html?tid=58...
- philwelch 16y agoYou have what percentage of each gender have ever been prostitutes, but what are the comparative market shares of either gender? What percentage of paid sex in a given year is satisfied by female prostitutes, and which percentage by males? Maybe that 1.6% of women sell way, way, way more sex than that 2.0% of men. It's certainly plausible, since there's a higher demand for heterosexual sex than homosexual sex. So while more prostitutes seem to be men, perhaps most prostitution still involves female prostitutes.
