Selling Sex: Women, Work and Prostitution
Mary’s husband, a collier by the name of Davies, was killed in the early 1880s in an explosion in a coalmine in Wales, though it is unclear which one. There were some Davies among the names of the 102 men who died in the catastrophe that occurred at Pen-Y-Graig, just before Christmas in 1880, when the ventilation fans began sending explosive gases back down into the mine. It was joined by at least a dozen fatal mine explosions in Wales alone between 1879 and 1882, which killed well over 300 people.1 Neither can we say for sure how Mary, about nineteen years old at the time, felt about the death of her husband; we can only assume that it was devastating for her. Estranged from her immediate family, she went to live with a cousin in Cardiff, and it seems that it was there that she learned, probably through her cousin’s prior involvement in prostitution, that a young, bright and attractive woman could earn a fair amount of money selling sexual acts.2

Louis Theroux meets the women legally participating in the new sexual economy, exploring whether selling sex can ever be a healthy way to make money.
The exchange of sex for money is legal in Britain, so long as it doesn’t involve coercion, exploitation, or any kind of public nuisance. Now, fuelled by websites and social media, a new economy has emerged – bringing a world of transactional sex to people who might never have previously considered it.
Bafta Award-winning film-maker Louis Theroux returns to the UK to meet women legally providing sexual services, either to make a living or to supplement their income, potentially earning hundreds of pounds per hour. But rather than on the streets or in illegal brothels, these women sell sex from their own homes or hotels, utilising technology to share photos, make bookings and vet potential clients - making the exchange more accessible and, according to some, safer than the illegal alternatives.
The age-old issue of whether sex should ever be traded remains, with many believing it to be exploitative and damaging, driven by a society still shaped by the desires of men. Yet there are those who feel that selling sex can be a valid, empowering choice for those who choose to engage in it.
As Louis meets the women and men participating in the new sexual economy, he explores whether selling sex can ever be a healthy way to make money.
A collection of Louis Theroux's wide array of gripping documentaries.
