An Introduction to Erotonomics

The sex industry, sex trade, or sexwork (I will probably go back and forth using the three terms mostly interchangeably) can be examined via regular economic principles. Curiously, no-one’s really done so.

But here I am, armed only with a copy of Mankiw and a mix of personal and acquired knowledge of sexwork. I’ll be starting with the ten basic principles of economics and how they apply to sexwork and then going from there.

In the rare instances where I can scrape up some economic analyses/studies of sexwork, I will deconstruct them at length. It should be interesting times decanting the economics of the erotic.
