Red Light Center a “Futuristic Solution” for Sex Workers

VANCOUVER, BC – Stating that “sex workers are facing a bigger problem from the (COVID-19) pandemic than almost any other group,” in a release issued Thursday Utherverse Digital touted its Red Light Center virtual world as a safe environment in which sex workers can still ply their trade.

“Not only is the entire sex business is built around physical closeness, but most sex workers are not typical employees, and they’re rightly concerned that they won’t be able to receive unemployment even as their clients and revenue have disappeared almost overnight,” Utherverse added in its release.

Just as videoconferencing software is being employed in other sectors to hold meetings and collaborative work that can’t be done in more traditional ways while practicing social distancing or self-quarantine, Utherverse sees virtual reality environments like Red Light Center as a means for sex workers to carry on their work – after a fashion, at least.

“Technology is offering a futuristic solution in the form of Red Light Center’s WG Directory, an online virtual reality sex work directory that allows Working Girls and Guys to promote satisfying live virtual encounters to their clients,” the company said in its release. “While some may find it distasteful to think about prostitutes, strippers and escorts in a crisis, it is vitally important that all people take care of themselves and take precaution not to spread COVID-19 around. If sex workers are unable to pay their bills, many will be forced to engage in very risky behavior just to survive – behavior that involves a lot of very close physical contact.”

Utherverse Digital CEO Brian Shuster said he thinks it is “vitally important to give sex workers and their clients a safe alternative, as many must be gravely concerned about making a living, and don’t qualify for assistance due to the nature of their work.”

“We have many qualified helpers that can train and assist new users in how to use the software and how best to bill their customers to maximize their revenue,” Shuster added.

The idea of enjoying virtual sex certainly is nothing new to the denizens of Red Light Center, where the company says  hundreds of thousands of members have “enjoyed mind-blowing sexual experiences with real-life providers in 3D gentlemen’s clubs and brothels, exchanging millions of dollars for high-quality interpersonal services, including fetish play and virtual intercourse,” over the last five years.

“We are entering into strange and uncertain times, and Red Light Center is offering a realistic and secure space for Working Girls and Guys so they may continue to see their clients and engage in their profession, all from the safety of home in a virtual environment,” Shuster said.
