If you knew any well paid emotionally healthy sex workers, you would know that they derive great personal satisfaction from making people of all ages and appearances happy.

That is why they do the work. And they need to pay the rent.

It is no more exploitative than making someone work for minimum wage.

It might make your head explode, but not everyone thinks like you.

People should be free, what they did to Spitzer was none of the governments business.

Frivolous federal prosecution and indiscreet press coverage is the source of trauma for Spitzer's family, not his misdemeanor indiscretions. He obviously went to great length AND EXPENSE to insulate his family. The irony is that if he had had an affair, far more dangerous to his marriage, he would not have had to resign. This is a harmless, victim-less crime, NEVER prosecuted federally, but most posters seem to have NO SENSE OF PROPORTION. If his wife had discovered this herself, they could have handled it privately, saving his family the humiliation. BUT NO! It was leaked ILLEAGALLY BY THE FBI to the NYT; this itself is a federal offense. It should have NEVER been reported, unless the true intent was to destroy a man who was too wealthy, too tough and too honest to be be bought or bullied, and in the process cruelly humiliating and traumatizing his innocent wife and daughters.

The criminal enterprises that Spitzer prosecuted were "Sex Slave" rings engaged in HUMAN TRAFFICKING. SLAVERY!!! (Think "Eastern Promises") They kidnapped naive immigrant women, stole their passports and forced them into prostitution at gunpoint. This is a FAR CRY from purchasing the services of a $1000 an hour CONSENTING ADULT escort. Hiring an escort is LEGAL in all 50 states.

The REAL crime here is selective prosecution.

Parking Illegally is a CRIME! It's against the LAW!

Does that mean if I do it, I deserve to have my Career and Family DESTROYED?

You're on the mark with "true intent was to destroy a man who was too wealthy, too tough and too honest to be be bought or bullied" and "leaked ILLEAGALLY BY THE FBI".

Our country is being run into the ground by amoral, criminal neocons who have taken over the Failure Party,. Consider the other illegal activities of the Administration & Justice Dept: Mississippi Governor railroading, seizing of documents from Rep's office, US Attorneys firings, Valery Plame outing, Adelphia CEO railroading and this latest with Spitzer seems right in line with their MO. Especially when Spitzer's name was becoming recognized for his political rise with the Democratic Party.

The NeoCons and the Failure Party are rife with right-wing wackos, but don't ever discount there are also some very intelligent, if morally bankrupt, people involved. How they can look their children or parents in the eyes when talking about their career is beyond me, but maybe that's why I'm not a criminal.

What's truly unfortunate is the media has not looked into the 'back-story' of this is just another indication of the problems we face in turning our country around.

After running across a story about an enterprising young man the other day, I think the best way for men to pursue the hooker experience is his way: he hires a porn star and first-person video tapes the 'encounter' for the Internet.

It becomes art and a tax write-off! I've been chuckling about that for two-three days.

It looks to me like the woman could have gotten a little bit more than $150 especially considering she was sleeping with a senator's husband.

REPEAL ALL ANTI-SEX LAWS IN AMERICA.

Anti-Gay, Anti-Polygamy, and Anti-Prostitution laws must go the way of Anti-Miscegenation laws. None of these laws would pass a constitutional challenge.

Why are the SQUARES and PRUDES telling the COOL KIDS what they can and cannot do with their bodies.

American liberty has been stolen by dried up old prudes and closet cases.

ONLY FREE BODIES CAN HOLD FREE MINDS!

I was just re-watching "Moonstruck" and the older woman, whose husband was cheating on her, was asking why men cheat. And someone finally answered, "Because men are are afraid of death."

Well, whatever it is, I am getting sick of these middle-aged, emotionally constipated, character-challenged, over-grown man-babies plastered all over the news.

These prostitutes are hardly out of their teens, for God's sake!

Why do we have to keep having to seeing these men on the news? Can't they be stuck in some "dirty old man's dungeon" or something?

This is getting ridiculous.

God forbid Americans should be FREE to do what they want.

It seems obvious anyone with a penis is SICK OF YOU.

I was trying really hard to come up wiht a reply that said what I was thinking about this Rebeccaj post. Bitter divirce? Old maid? But after reading your post (Godishatespeech) I think you said it best. People in my office just asked me what I was laughing at! Hillarious!

silly immature americans worried about sex.

who cares? and why is it any ones business ?

this is the kind of thinking that keeps science and medical advances like stem cell research under attack.

these fake moralists that insist on heeping sin and guilt ontop of people for their own repressed egos.

sex is bad, war and killing is good is their motto.

Why doesn't the headline say "Alleged Prostitute Connected to Air America Executive"?

$150 sounds like a much better deal than the four grand ass that Eliot bought.

I want you all before to think before you post one more thing about Alycia. She just turned 20 years old and she is A PERSON. With feelings and family who has known her since she was born. She im sure feels extreamly embarassed about this and I dont think people should be talking about such insensitive details concerning what happened to her. Everyone hits points in there life when they lose themselves. When everything becomes unclear and life doesnt seem all that easy anymore. I dont give a damn who you are you have done something that your not proud of and wish you could take back once in your life. Getting arrested, drugs, getting drunk, sleeping with someone, abortion, infedelity, something. Who are you to judge? Take a look at yourself and then keep you mouth closed. Instead of sitting at your computer judging and making "points" about someone who I care about get off you ass and go spend time with your family. You never know what life will bring to you.
