Janice Raymond, a US professor and joint head of Coalition Against Trafficking in Women, pointed out that the mainstreaming of the sex industry was reflected in the changing vocabulary applied to it.
"The sex industry thrives on renaming its sexual exploitation as 'sex'," she said. "Pornography is called 'erotica' or 'adult videos'; prostitution is renamed 'sex work' or 'sexual services'; pimps are now called 'third party business managers' or 'erotic entrepreneurs.'"
She cited recent figures indicating that in Britain 33% of all internet users access hardcore porn, with the heaviest demand for material featuring children, bondage, sadomasochism, and sex acts with various animals.
