N2  - This article addresses the increasing popularity of the internet as a profit center for the commercial sex industry. In their study of responses to decoy sex ads placed in an online forum, the authors found that those seeking escort services are highly influenced by the location of the ad as well as by the appearance, race, and ethnicity of those in the decoy photographs. They also discovered that ad responders were numerous and seriously intent on purchasing sexual services.     Keywords: Craigslist; Backpage.com; sex trafficking<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
