Comparing Sex Buyers and Non-Sex Buyers July 2011

5. "Educational programs were considered the least effective deterrent by both groups of men."

Ouch.

I wonder why that is? Maybe because of this part:

"Two thirds of both the sex buyers and the non-sex buyers observed that a majority of women are lured, tricked, or trafficked into prostitution. Many of the men had an awareness of the economic coercion and the lack of alternatives in women's entry into prostitution. Almost all of the sex buyers and non-sex buyers shared the opinion that minor children are almost always available for prostitution in bars, massage parlors, escort and other prostitution in Boston. The knowledge that the women have been exploited, coerced, pimped, or trafficked failed to deter sex buyers from buying sex."

What would more education about the nightmares of prostitution do to deter sex buyers if being aware of these awful facts doesn't change their behaviors? Makes one question whether the buyers need education or medical therapy. As in, full blown behavioral modification, addiction rehabilitation or psychiatric medication.
