Sex work in 2024: How the internet has changed the industry

Sex work is often referred to as the world’s oldest profession, and our attitudes to it are rapidly evolving.

The language around it has changed, and public figures from politicians to influencers are being more open than ever. The shame and stigma around the profession seem weaker now than even a few years ago.

So, what does sex work look like in Australia in 2024? In this four-part series, The Briefing dives deeper into the profession, where it’s been and where it’s going.

In part two, we speak with a former sex worker and now-brothel owner about how the internet has revolutionised the industry.
