Sex work goes digital
Sex work in Uganda has gotten simpler and easier. One can now enjoy sex with a click of a button without ever stepping out.
Services of sex workers are now freely available online and one can make an order on Facebook or WhatsApp.
Several people have since moved in to cash in on the sex services on social media. Groups selling sex on Facebook are increasing with each passing day with the most popular ones using local kiganda names.
One such group is called,”Mpa olunaku ojje twezine” loosely translated to ”give me a date and I come for a fuck” while another one is called ”Kwezinamubwezinyi Kunyumirwa ” meaning ” just fuck and enjoy.”
Hooking up with escorts online is easy peasy
Those interested in hooking up with the sex workers can easily get their contacts from the Facebook groups after paying a small ‘facilitation fee’.
”We introduced the group on Facebook so that we provide sex services to those who want it. We got good responses and now many men who want sex workers simply contact us and we connect them,” said Jack Tamale, one of the administrators of the groups,
They can also get them from Whatsapp numbers and mobile phone numbers provided by some of the numerous FM radios.
Transaction fees
On some of the groups, one can contact an escort after parting with UGsh50,000 (US$14), while on others one can get an escort after paying UGsh10,000 (about US$3 US dollars ) as connection fee to the administrators who provide the sex workers contacts to the clients and they then discuss payment terms with sex workers.
Sex workers are flexible
Once contacted, some of the sex workers can choose to do outcalls and come to one’s place while others do incalls and clients go to them for sex
Guys love it
The services have proved popular with a lot of people who now can get sex with a click of a button
”I enjoy the development. Going digital is the order of the day and so getting sex services through Facebook and WhatsApp is a good development to some of us,” said Apollo Mukalazi, a fishmonger.
