United States only 14 billion?
Only in porn they should get 300 times these figures

someone is writing a master's thesis... I think... sometimes, or what is going on?

Poland also marked as sex tourism target? Aren't they conservative?

Do you see a future of Czech R. getting outside of that red zone? As a single WEM would it be wise to get a GF first before visiting the Czech R., lest I get automatically seen as a sex tourist?

I also call bullshit there. Makes little sense for Germany and Spain to beat the US on that department in absolute numbers. Statistics can be skewed due to differences in their reliability per country.
Maybe it can be explained though. Prostitution is illegal in the US (except for Nevada) and society is more secretive about the phenomenon unlike in much of Europe where it also might be officially illegal, but not enforced.

Czech Republic is at the bottom because it's really cheap in there so the revenue couldn't be higher.

It isn't countries who earn any of this but elites within certain countries.
