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.

Retired Escort Has Advice For Hordes Of Wannabe-Hookers

Meet Amanda Brooks. She was raised in Texas, went to college and graduated with a double degree in photography and English. She entered the workforce, found a job she really enjoyed and then retired... At the age of 29. Her chosen profession? Internet call girl. And like any retired person with valuable advice, Ms. Brooks has written a couple of books: The Internet Escort's Handbook, volumes 1 and 2. The first book deals with "basic mental, emotional and physical considerations in escort work." The second is about advertising and marketing. A little digging revealed that the book has chapters titled "Are You A People Person? How Can You Become One?" and, under "Your Personal Appearance" are sections named "Breasts," "Weight And Proportions," "Hair," "Stretch Marks," "Teeth and Breath," "The Period Question," and, of course, "Ejaculation (Face or Specific Body Part)." Very thorough. Oh! And — here's the difference between an escort and a cheap hooker, in case you were wondering: More »

In Tough Economic Times, Bankers Long For "Intimacy" With Their Happy Endings

I'm gonna sound like a cranky old curmudgeon here, but would it kill some of you service industry types out there to smile once in awhile? As long as we're engaging in this commercial transaction with one another, would it be so hard to pretend to heed the fact that there's a fellow human on the other end of it, and at the end of the day we're both just hustling to compete in this rat race? Why does the guy who cuts my turkey at the deli know my name and smile with something that might mean actual genuineness every day I walk through the door, and yet you, the girl who is supposed to be spending a full hour every week in the presence of my naked cock, waste the first five minutes calling in my credit card and avoiding eye contact? I know a lot of rackets in this country can get away without offering that "personal touch," but baby, you're in the personal touch business! Five more things we can learn from the hardworking clients of Asian massage parlors like 36-year-old family man and Wall Street lawyer Skip, who has been fucking the same masseuses for two years and could use a little human kindness, from Page Six Magazine's definitive guide to Wall Street massage enthusiasts, after the jump: More »

Strippers And Sex Workers On Conventions: Republicans, Nerds Make Best Customers

It's the day after Super Tuesday, and there are still so many unknowns about the upcoming political conventions. But if you've been alive for a few years, you probably know there is one very known known about them: They're like 1929 for the sex work business! Strippers and hookers reap funds like Ron Paul's website! And the news media eats that shit up. Of course, not all conventions were created equal, reports yesterday's Rocky Mountain News, hometown newspaper of the city hosting this years Dem Convention. Says longtime hooker Carol Leigh: "Computer conventions can be lucrative. There's a lot of nerds that don't get out much... It would be a lot better for the sex workers if it was the Republican convention. We get a lot more business. I don't know if they're just frustrated because of the family values agenda..." Hmmmm, think there's something to that? Don't answer that! More »

Sexual Exploitation! From Kenyan Gigolos To Korean Masseuses, Women Do It Too

The latest entrant to the "Not just for men anymore" category: the exploitation of Third World economic woes for First World sexual satisfaction! (So happy to see that glass ceiling shattered!) So: old white women are descending upon the coast of Kenya, where locals estimate one in five female tourists is seeking a strapping young fuckbuddy 30 years her junior. The country is "just full of big young boys who like us older girls," says one. (Incidentally, I wanted to make a "cougar" joke, but did you know cougars are indigenous to America and they don't exist in Africa at all? I'm sure that's a piece of information you'll be able to put to use somehow.) Typically, of course, all the Kenyan men interviewed are like, "Yeah so I sleep with rich old white ladies for money, big whup." Meanwhile back in New York, women are apparently inadvertently exploiting their masseuses and manicurists, according to an in-depth report in New York Magazine, which explains that the Brazilian wax is the new "happy ending" — no manicurist wants to admit she goes "below the neck."
