In Australia, where sex work is legal, women are paying to get laid and loving it For a sex researcher like me, Australia is a great place to conduct studies because sex work here is mostly legal. This lawfully neutral environment makes it easier for folks to open up about things like buying and selling intimate services. So when I developed an interest in why women purchase sex, I simply used Google to connect with a variety of sex workers in my area.
About half the women in my study said they bought sex for therapeutic reasons. Three of these women were suffering from pain during sex and approached sexual services as an extension of physiotherapy. Five women with sexual trauma in their backgrounds bought sexual services to practice relationship skills in a controlled environment.
I was surprised to learn that although only three of the women I interviewed identified as same-sex attracted, several of my heterosexual interviewees bought services from female sex workers because they wanted to receive a one-directional or other, non-penetrative service , and they felt less fear for their safety booking a session with a woman. This sentiment was echoed by other heterosexual women in my study who complained about there being a shortage of suitable straight male sex workers.
