O was surprised to learn that being a working girl involves a lot more than — as she put it — "wham bam thank you, ma'am."

Brooke, the woman in the clip, explained the concept of a girlfriend experience (GFE) to Oprah, and also told her about the time that she was paid by a man to pretend to be his nagging wife.

This is probably the first time that Oprah bit off Tyra, instead of the other way around. However, O wasn't judgmental or condescending about sex work, the way that Tyra is.

<![CDATA[Tyra: Pregnant Young Woman Becomes Prostitute]]> When 20-year-old Alana was 6 months pregnant, she decided to go work at Nevada's Moonlight Bunny Ranch (a legal brothel). Still pregnant, she talked with Tyra yesterday about her job - fulfilling men's "pregnancy fetishes."

Although my knee-jerk reaction to Alana's insistence that this was her "only option" was to be like, "Are you kidding me?" I'm reticent to condemn her for her choices - she is not a bad person, just a young and naive one - because if we're gonna embrace the whole "my body, my choice" thing in regards to pregnancy, it should apply to something like this as well. Particularly if, like me, you don't believe in outlawing prostitution. Still, I think she would've been wiser to rely on the Judge Judy-ism: If you can't afford to have a baby, then don't have a baby. (Alana is really dead-set against adoption, for some reason.)

Alana is really critical of the other prostitutes at the Ranch who are mothers and try to give her advice, saying rather smugly, "I don't want to follow in their footsteps." Meaning that once she has the baby, her financial problems will somehow be solved and she'll be able to resist the kind of fast cash she is making at the Ranch.

The most interesting part of Alana's interview with Tyra - Tyra, of course, masks her condescension with concern - was when she discussed the purpose that a very pregnant woman serves at an establishment like the Bunny Ranch - to fulfill men's pregnancy fetishes. She gets five customers a day, on average, and explains that they can sometimes boarder on creepy, with guys talking to the fetus in her stomach; she also wonders if some of the men are pedophiles who are there for her baby more than her.

<![CDATA[Daughter Of Bikini Waxing, Creepy Dad Featured On Cathouse]]> Remember "Summer," the 18-year-old Tyra guest whose dad not only used to give bikini waxes, but persuaded to go into prostitution (which she later confessed to hating)? Well, HBO recently ran a the Moonlight Bunny Ranch called Cathouse: Menage, and Summer (whose real name is Christina) was featured in it, performing a three-way and discussing how she hates being picked on by the other women. Apparently, the others think she's sleeping with brothel owner Dennis Hoff because she was given a coveted sun room at the Ranch. Airforce Amy wonders if Summer's agent, aka her dad, fucked Dennis to get the room for her, implying that her dad is gay. Clip above.

<![CDATA[Father Gives Daughter Bikini Waxes, Rides To Work At A Brothel]]> Today's episode of Tyra was about women who are looking to become legal prostitutes in Nevada. One particularly fucked up segment featured Summer, a pretty 18-year-old who is an "up and coming" adult film actress about to start working at the infamous Moonlight Bunny Ranch. Summer's father is also her manager, and he not only talked her into working at the brothel, but gives her Brazilian bikini waxes. Almost more insane? They actually show him doing it. Now, I'm pro-porn and pro-sex work, and I feel like people should be allowed to make their own choices when it comes to how they want to make their money. But maybe I'm not as progressive as I thought I was, because this shit is just wrong. Oh, and when Summer is shown crying when her dad drops her off at the brothel? He says, "you forgot something," and you think he's gonna give her words of encouragement or a hug, but instead, he hands her a giant bottle of lube.
