Legendary porn performer Sunset Thomas is well known for her groundbreaking foray into the legal prostitution business, which allowed regular fans to live out their wildest sexual fantasies with the starlet in Nevada-based brothels.

A decade ago, Heidi Fleiss made headlines when she was arrested on tax evasion charges tied to a prostitution ring which services many high profile Hollywood stars.

Part of the evidence used against a UK madam now serving 1 year in prison on charges of illegally operating a brothel, was a shopping list of items prescribed to Lithuanian girls who came to work for the madam. On the list were the following items: condoms, vibrators, clothes, a bed, high heels, and stockings. I guess that’s all it takes to become a hooker in the UK.

Miami Vice agents posing as regular customers entered into a converted passenger bus that had been fitted out with stripper poles and even an exclusive ‘VIP’ room. When asked what they would get in the VIP room, they were told, “You’ll Get your Money’s worth.” That’s when they busted the illicit operation.

A brothel in Nevada is now giving its customer free gas vouchers and lubricant every time they comeback for a “love session”. This latest strategy was set to help those customers that would come back but have to decide between fucking and pumping gas.

In Jamaica’s booming sex industry, street walking hookers are down on tough times, and many blame gay gigolos, the police, and of course, the strippers inside the rowdy clubs where many claim more than just dancing is going on.

In 2006 Heidi Fleiss; one of the most prolific madams of all time, began an escapade to create the first high-scale brothel catering specifically to women. Along the way, she was exposed to many harsh realities inherent to the difficulty in setting up a whore house in America: even in a place where the business is presumably legal.

Brothels located over 30 minutes from a major city often rely on trucker traffic in order to sustain healthy profit margins.

Just as the porn industry was a closet industry just 30 years ago but now has its stars and starlets regularly appearing in mainstream media, the escort service in America is poised to become something more than the dirty little secret it has been in the past.

The UK has instigated a new initiative to try to curb sex trafficking and prostitution with a slew of posters to be presented in clubs and discos with the slogan "Walk in a Punter. Walk out a Rapist". The slogan refers to the fact that many women working in brothels are illegally trafficked there against their will, and so any sexual acts performed on them are tantamount to rape.
