Saw this:
Suburban NYC mom Anna Gristina sentenced to time served in Manhattan prostitution case - U.S. News
which had the interesting sentence
"After Tuesday's sentencing, the Manhattan district attorney's office said in a statement, "“There is nothing glamorous about prostitution. Anna Gristina
rented women’s bodies for profit, which makes her a pimp. "
Which led me to ask the age old question, "Do women choose the profession willingly?" Some obviously do. It's their choice. Some are forced into it. Some fall into it, through various ways and reasons. In different countries, all over the world.

“We had big, big trouble finding nonusers,” Farley says. “We finally had to settle on a definition of non-sex-buyers as men who have not been to a strip club more than two times in the past year, have not purchased a lap dance, have not used pornography more than one time in the last month, and have not purchased phone sex or the services of a sex worker, escort, erotic masseuse, or prostitute.”

Well at least they didn't make Rock and Roll illegal. They tried though.
Maybe we need a stoner, gigilo Elvis.
On June 3, 1956, city authorities announced a total ban on rock and roll at public gatherings, calling the music "
Detrimental to both the health and morals of our youth and community."

Gee, that sounds famaliar.
Oh yeah. I've been to one strip club in my 40 years on Earth. It was fun, went with some military friends. But, at the end of the night, I went home alone. At least I didn't buy the lap dances. My buds, once hearing I had never had one, bought me two. It was ... intense. Still, to me, it seemed like a collosal waste of money. I'd rather buy a girl dinner and have a chance than drop X amount, get excited and have ...zero chance. That's just me. And I didn't think of it as "sex". Maybe I was wrong. What do you think? It was sexy. It was stimulating, I reckon. But I dunno if I'd call it "sex." Obviously, some scientists do.
Speaking of prostitution, America should legalize it and pot. Free up some cops for serious crimes. Regulate the industry. Get it out of the dark. America promotes a Puritanical view while denying that many its citizens are lusting after pot and street walkers. HA!
The UK has it legalized. Look up "UK escort service" on Google sometime. They charge like £200 an hour.
AN HOUR. Or more. A lot more, actually.

America acts like people don't want to have sex and get high. I don't think it keeps us safer. I think it keeps us LESS safe.
