The John Profile

Who are the men that buy sex? According to a Newsweek article that discusses a Boston based study this week here are the stats:

-sex as divorced from personal relationships (with a lack of emotional involvement)

-have a profile that commit more crimes of all sorts compared to “non-buyers” and all violent crimes in this test group against women are committed by buyers.

-66% of men are aware and have a tolerance for men who buy sex even though they know the majority girls are “lured, tricked, or trafficked into prostitution” (looks like john schools aren’t really doing the trick)

-according to the American Journal of Epidemiology, prostitutes have a 51% higher homicide rate than any occupation–including working in a liquor store.

please note that johns are not just “gangstahs”–they are doctors, teachers, WASPs, rich, poor, and middle class men, 18 year olds and 70 year olds.

Why do it?

-Johns get an unquestionable obedience that isn’t (and shouldn’t) be expected in a mutual, loving relationship.

-it’s 50 times more risky to be a prostitute than a john (50 prostitutes are arrested for every john)–notice that a pimp is not even mentioned.

-The average cost for a trick is 2-3 hours of work, so why not skip the movie and dinner night with your wife and get instant gratification on your terms?

 

What is the solution?

Some people claim it’s education of these men (sending them to john schools, which I’m not a strong advocate of–sending someone to traffic school doesn’t stop them from speeding the next time, it just wastes funds and let’s people off without a strong penalty. And, this is a human life, not going 7 miles over the speed limit).

Others claim it lies in fines, others in jail time, and others in pure shame–whether it’s in registering them as a sex offender or posting a picture on a billboard like Mississippi does:

What are your suggestions?

CAS believes the solution is a combination of fines and jail time–after all what matters most to these men? Their freedom, something that the girls they buy lack.
