Silicon Valley, known worldwide as a center of technological innovation, can "boast" of more than just massive technological achievements. According to Newsweek, this region has also become an unexpected epicenter of one of the world’s oldest professions—prostitution. There are almost 40 times more brothels in Silicon Valley than in Nevada.
Although this place symbolizes progress and innovation, it also shows that human needs and desires remain unchanged. Unfortunately, successful business employees do not always handle intimate relationships well. They vent their frustrations in brothels.
Modern businesses vs. the oldest profession in the world
At first glance, Silicon Valley is mainly associated with technological giants such as Google, Apple, and Facebook. This region attracts the brightest minds from around the world, offering them work in the most advanced companies and excellent salaries. High pay and the intense, often stressful work in the tech industry, however, have created a unique environment in which the demand for sexual services has sharply increased.
Who most often uses the services of sex workers? IT specialists are leading the way. Due to a lack of time for traditional relationships and the need for quick and discreet satisfaction of sexual needs, they have become the main clients of brothels. They often work more than a dozen hours a day and are willing to pay for the convenience and discretion that sex workers offer.

According to "Newsweek," one of the sex workers mentioned that the biggest appetite is shown by start-up programmers who are just beginning to understand the power of their money. Some explain that the tech industry attracts individuals willing to take risks and experiment; therefore, they have no qualms about using prostitutes' services.
Additionally, paid sex does not require emotional involvement. As specialists explain, this is a problem for many men who spend several hours at work in front of a computer, performing analytical tasks.
As a benefit of Silicon Valley, the public services business is extremely advanced from an IT perspective. Women accept payments through applications that guarantee anonymity, often designed by their clients. These applications frequently allow IT specialists to exchange opinions about their “visit” or post information about upcoming orgies.
According to "Newsweek," some treat prostitutes like trash. "Nerds don't have to hold back. Entry-level IT company employees, frustrated doubly, indulge themselves. Once by erotic failures, and twice by not grabbing the golden calf by the horns."
