Norwegian sex customers are getting organized and are taking dramatic steps to ensure that they get what they pay for. One advanced web site with prostitute ratings and discussion groups for sex clients has 3,300 registered users, newspaper Dagsavisen reports.
Norwegian 'johns' are tired of paying a lot of money and not feeling fully satisfied and are creating their own consumer guides on the Internet.
Dagsavisen studied one of the leading web sites where prostitutes were rated on a scale from 1-6. The ratings were organized geographically and users anonymously discussed their experiences in detail.
Other features included a search engine for checking prostitute ratings, illegal ads linked to the purchase and sale of sex and a discussion forum where prostitutes and clients could discuss how business should be conducted. Travel guides for sex buyers and searches for special requests were among other site services.
Arne Randers-Pehrson at Pro Sentret, the national center of expertise on prostitution, said that such sites could help form behavioral norms and were not necessarily a bad thing.
