Wealthy Sex

Sex and money - money and sex
Is there a link? You betcha!
Explaining and analyzing the connection? Good luck!

I don't care too much for money, money can't buy me love.

She looks like a million bucks.

Wealthy sex?
What the heck is that?
Wealthy sex becomes the garment, when worn the person glows from the inside out. When a person knows their own sexual expression is unique and valuable, this is a form of wealth. The amount of change in their pocket or dollars in the bank is not important? Sound like a bunch of crap?

Sex and money - money and sex

Money can buy sex. Women want men with money. Money makes the world go round. Hmmmmm

Ex prostitutes
Here's another thought. What happens to sex workers when they "retire?"

The sad truth is many die young. Drug use and craziness wrapped up in illegal activities is a dangerous mixture. Still many working girls and boys survive and move on into other activities. Many, like myself, dapple with it for only a short time, sometimes just a few weeks or months.

Just thinking about the numbers it would mean that lots and lots of people have once upon a time been hooking or dancing. Who's talking about it? Are there any groups for recovering hookers? I haven't heard about it.

Was our involvement in prostitution a dirty little secret best kept hidden? Well, I have worked as a prostitute and have lived to tell the tale. Actually I like to tell about it and have found folks are earnestly fascinated and then can only listen to so much at a time. People ask me questions like:
Why did you do it? (what's a nice girl like you doing in a place like that?)
How did you get in?
How did you get out?
What did you wear?
Did you go to jail?
Did you have a pimp?

So I wrote a book called "One of the Girls"

Sexual Poverty
Paying for sex is goofy. I come from Ann Arbor, Michigan. There is no prostitution here because all the people are having lots of sex for free. Or so the story goes. Wanna buy a bridge?

Seriously, up the road and down the street prostitution, excuse me, sex workers are still in business. No one can keep track of all the money generated from the business of sex. It is a very large amount of cash.

Someday we may grow into a society that supports and celebrates sex and sexuality. Create a time and place where pleasure is encouraged and nurtured. We would conduct research, have teachers and traditions to honor and respect this reality of sexuality included in the experience of being human.

Until we can move to a more utopian approach to our sexuality, we are stuck with the reality of prostitution. Having it be illegal is in no way stopping it from happening, quite the opposite. It allows it to continue under the worst possible conditions.

So much money changes hands, and that money is never taxed. People involved are forced into secrecy.

Oprah had a show recently with three girls, younger than 18 years old, who had already employed themselves in the business of selling sexual favors. One girl was 12 years old and from a "good" family.

One of the questions Oprah asked was, "How can this be happening? How can a nice church-going girl get caught up in prostitution?" A commonly held belief is that only throw away people become hookers.

I wonder, who is disposable? And why do we allow an illegal activity to go on under our noses while we look away? There are a variety of reasons. Who can champion for an issue that is politically and morally a rotten potato and a hot potato?

Things we can do:

• Get involved, get informed
• locate the buyers and sellers in our own communities
• education for hookers and johns
• identify the problems
• talk about solutions
• consider legalizing sold sex
