Back when I was freelancing IT for little old ladies in Classic Sixes on the Upper East Side, I'd give stacks of business cards to the doormen. I got a surprisingly large number of women clients under thirty living alone in palatial apartments, who needed help with their laptops.
It didn't take long to figure out the game, but they were in it on their own, always paid on time and were unfailingly nice. The internet allowed them to be independent. Who am I to knock a hustle?
Since Tumbler went tits-up on porn - no one has really stepped up to fill the gap...and NO - that is NOT a euphemism...or is that "euphegasm" (?). FREE porn is hard to find. Oh, just stop it!!!
I read a 21st Amendment case the other day - alcohol is the only product states are allowed to regulate the import of but it has to be justified within their overall regulation scheme - I.e. taxation
If states could find a way to reliably tax sex, maybe they'd stop trying to ban it - or maybe they just like controlling women
I've earned my living with my body - hands, feet - all my life except for one two year period in an office. Don't try to tell me that slinging beer wasn't commodifying my body.
One restaurant, I worked with a hooker for a few days. She was thinking of getting out of that business and seeing if she could support herself with straight work. It only took a couple of days for her to decide that if she had to shut up and smile at any asshole with a couple of bucks to spend, she may as well get paid real money for it, and went back out on the street.
Rule of first adopters!
I wouldn't wish that on you Sydney! Stay safe.

My mother always said "You can make it illegal, but you can't make it unpopular."

Oh, I read your post about this a couple of days ago. I'm so glad they decided to press charges after all!
People should have learned that after prohibition
But they didn't
Yes.
Why do we keep listening to privileged white men about what is best for ANYONE other than privileged white men?
That's why it is always on their mind.
Yes, I thought that really was a textbook case.

I think you answered it.
Literary agents routinely take 20% for their fee. You want a better deal, your last name better be King.
And your first name better be Stephen.
Or, if you were underage, Playboy was on the magazine shelf in the drugstore. The centerfold was a real quick look.
