250% rise in Irish web searches for Ukrainian escorts, according to expert

  1. There was a news piece about this a few weeks ago, an escort agency (or whatever you call them now) here was actually advertising that they had Ukrainian girls fresh from being traumatised by the war, so that you could indulge your fantasies of being a rapey Russian soldier.

  2. I’m not naive to think this wouldn’t be an unfortunate result of displaced refugees – But This is horrific and sickening.

    What can be done to tackle this fucked up shit? And what is being done here ?

    ( I hate trying to even word this because these creeps are just re traumatising already vulnerable women and girls who are in desperate need for financial security for shelter,safety, warmth etc)And psychological support also.

  3. Two things that are unclear in the article –

    What are the actual search numbers? A 250% increase is very alarming if there are 10,000 searches a week before this but if there were only 10 it is less so

    Could some of the search increases have been brought on by the press commentary about the issue? I.e. People searching out of curiosity after hearing a news report about it rather than someone looking to get an escort

  4. Just out of curiosity, how does an outsider to a website get the metrics to search trends? Like without being involved in the website how do you get the 250% increase conclusion?

  5. Prior to the war, in Ukraine prostition was largely ignore,hardly surprised there’s an an increase.

    The only concern id have have is if there’s woman who feel like they e no other choice.

  6. TRAFFICKING IS BAD

    Is that demand or supply driven?

    Because I could understand why searches might be up if there is more of it….. (available?- dunno the right word)….. at the moment.

  7. Sex workers need customers. No shame in it as long as they are not forced into it against their will.

    Moral outrage at sex work is bull shit. It should be legalized and regulated like any other industry.

  8. Legitimately disgraceful! That’s a poor reflection on society. But the thing is the lads who are doing it have no shame

  9. Not that unusual really…

    Up to the balls in debt because you need to keep up with the neighbours in your little estate and PCP car.

    Not getting it from the wife anymore because you married someone you can just about tolerate, to follow everyone else’s actions.

    Foreigners move in up the road, suddenly realise they are much hotter than Irish women and your pos wife.

    Search for an escort.

    Common sense people.
