Recently Wired took a look at the sex worker industry in New York City and turned out a series of fun stats! For instance, what would a hand job cost you in your neighborhood? If you're in the Bronx, it's just 75 bucks plus a shot at the bar. In Manhattan, it's $125 north of 14th Street, but if you go to Chinatown or Soho, the price goes up to $175. Meanwhile, in the TriBeca-Wall Street area, a hand job will cost you a whopping $225—that's just $175 less than mommy role-play sex!
Other fun facts: sex workers prefer Orbit and Trident gums (sex workers: they're just like us!), and often carry an extra pair of panties in their purse in case their client deserves a souvenir. As of 2008, 25% of regular clients were found on Facebook (as opposed to Craigslist which only brought in 3%). [Insert Super Poke joke here.]
