Book Synopsis
Despite increased economic opportunities for women, sexual commerce has not only thrived in the Western world, it has diversified along technological, spatial, and social lines. This work paints a picture of the state of global sexual commerce and its relationship to a burgeoning consumer culture.

Trade Review
"This is an ambitious book - highly readable, compelling, and original. Bernstein's claim is that the character and organization of sex work has shifted. Whereas the signature form of sex work used to be the nonwhite streetwalker working in largely marginal neighborhoods, today, she reveals, sex work is largely private, relying heavily on the Internet, and provided by someone that is as often white and middle-class as nonwhite and poor." - Steven Seidman, author of Beyond the Closet"
