Reddit reviews Paid For: My Journey Through Prostitution

I hadn't heard of the organisation, and when I read a little bit into it I presumed it was another "opinion" piece. Usually when I read official reports, or documents put out by respected organisations I don't expect to find it written in such a petulant tone, like the following:

>The Swedish approach is not practical or reality-based. It envisions a time when all men who purchase sex are either in prison or are so afraid of being arrested that they no longer seek commercial sex, at least not in Sweden.

Perhaps it is a legitimate organisation, if it is though I would certainly take what they put out with a large pinch of salt.

A little while ago my particular hobby-horse was prostitution (I had just read this powerful book by Irish ex-prostitute Rachel Moran), and ended up reading a lot about the Swedish model. There are some criticisms of it, one I remember asserting that it actually caused an increase in violence towards sex workers, but when you read it closely it had manipulated the data by changing the parameters of what constituted "violence". These sorts of things always make me especially weary of criticisms by non-official bodies, which I suppose is quite the personal bias all right.

Send that article my way though, I'd love to give it a read!!
