escorts: Brazilian prostitution network (2010)
A bipartite network of escort and individuals who buy sex from them in Brazil, extracted from a Brazilian online community for such ratings. Edges represent a purchase of sexual intercourse with an escort, and the edge weight gives the buyer's rating of the escort: -1 (bad), 0 (neutral), or 1 (good). Other edge attributes are available. Edges are timestamped.
This network has 16730 nodes and 50632 edges.
