Prostitution is illegal. It is a jail-able offense and when arrested, one can be saddled with a “sex offender” status for the rest of their lives. The promotion or control of such services (this being a broad, vague thing) is also prosecutable by law. For that reason, what we do is all in “fun.”

We find this to be “entertainment” just like those that HOOK supports are in the “entertainment” industry. Understand that HOOK Online cannot actively provide “hook-ups” or otherwise sell sex. We are an information resource.

We believe that sexwork is a choice that people will make (and have made) regardless of the legal and political status in any country. We believe that people engage in sexual trade for more than cash – some for rent, for food, for drugs, and some because they actually enjoy it. We believe that trial-and-error education does not need to be the only method for individuals to understand the challenges of sexwork.

It is the philosophy of this organization that we support the right to choose freely to work in the industry, but that those who perceive no alternative option should have helpful information to achieve their temporary goals and leave the business. We believe that sexwork clients should begin educating themselves on the industry and their responsibility to families, if applicable, and the sexworker.

We are not a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. This is a project. Primarily manned and funded by affiliates, partnerships, and generous donations, as well as the support and help of the many volunteers and supporters.
