Are Escort Services Poised to Go Mainstream?

Russ Wellen | Posted May 14, 2008 | Entertainment


Russ Wellen

Whores no more.

On the job, the key for many of us is adapting by adopting -- an alternate personality, that is. But some jobs arouse emotions and sensations that are too overwhelming for the conscious mind. In the process called splitting, we shunt those off to a kind of...

U.S. Military Contractor 'Used Armored Cars To Transport Prostitutes'

HuffingtonPost.com   |  Jason Linkins   |   April 29, 2008 12:00 PM


Over at Muckraked, we get news that "a panel of whistleblowers" testifying before a Senate committee yesterday dropped a dime on their employer, military contractor DynCorp (among others). The most explosive part of the testimony involved a contract manager, a...

What Your Parents Don't Know Can Hurt Them

Suzanne Portnoy | Posted April 28, 2008 | Living


Suzanne Portnoy

When "high-class courtesan" Debauchette allowed Diane Sawyer to interview her for a recent ABC News special report on prostitution, her goal, she said, was to strike a blow against the "old Victorian trope" of the prostitute-as-victim. Instead, she became a bit of a victim herself. Though filmed in silhouette,...

I Also Was a Medical Whore, but Just a Little, and it Was a Long Time Ago

Jay Gordon, MD | Posted April 18, 2008 | Living


Jay Gordon, MD

About twenty years ago, I was approached by a manufacturer of vitamins and supplements and asked to write articles for a magazine. This magazine--coincidentally--was sponsored by the manufacturer and all the articles--coincidentally--were about their products.

I should have been a bit suspicious when the first article was to be...

One-On-One With A New York Madame

Huffington Post   |   April 16, 2008 05:36 PM


Yesterday's New York Observer had a candid and confidential one-on-one interview with a high-end New York madame. "It's like Babel," she said of New York City, in her high-pitched, Latin-tinged voice. "It's very tempting. You can buy anything you want,...

For Sale: Teenage Virgin

Telegraph   |  Sue Ryan   |   April 15, 2008 11:27 AM


Thirty miles west of the Taj Mahal, on the road to the pink city of Jaipur, tourists on buses pass a sight that the guide books rarely mention. A mile beyond the town of Bharatpur in Rajasthan, where the highway...

When Sex Is a Business, You Can't Forget About Demand

Sonia Ossorio | Posted March 25, 2008 | Politics


Sonia Ossorio

Whether it's a $30 sex act in a brothel in Flushing, Queens that markets to dishwashers and day laborers, or a $4,000 sex act sold through a glossy website, the demand by men for commercial sex in the United States today is overwhelming. It's time to take a hard look...

Driving Through Death Valley to Meet a Hooker

Lea Lane | Posted March 18, 2008 | Living


Lea Lane

Diane Sawyer's revived 20/20 special about a Bunny Ranch, and "Kristen's" fast-moving musical career call to mind my interview a couple of years ago with a Nevada hooker.

Things started when I dated a meticulous, ambitious law firm partner who admitted that throughout his former marriage he not only...

Silda and Feminism

Caryl Rivers | Posted March 18, 2008 | Politics


Caryl Rivers

How independent of powerful men do women have to be?

If you're a feminist, do you have to trash the "Stand by Your Man" scenario?

And how far does illicit sex with a powerful man get women, anyhow?

The strained, pale face of Silda Wall Spitzer is etched...

The Diane Sawyer Hooker Special

Seth Greenland | Posted March 17, 2008 | Media


Seth Greenland

According to an item in the New York Daily News, Diana Sawyer's show about prostitution (aka the Hooker Special) is being removed from the ABC shelf, dusted off, and given an air date.

Thank-you ABC, for finally confirming that there is a great deal of prostitution in America,...

Spitzer's Fiscal Irresponsibility

David Sax | Posted March 14, 2008 | Business


David Sax

It wasn't yesterday's contrived, meaningless apology that was the worst. No, that was expected. Nor was it the sight of Silda Spitzer standing there with her husband, dragged into the appearance and forced to face the cameras stoically, when she'd clearly rather be at home, downing Ambien with merlot...

Hooked On Hookers

Leslie Griffith | Posted March 13, 2008 | Living


Leslie Griffith

Why are we so concerned about hookers?

To start with, our puritanical nation loves a good sex scandal. Sure beats talking about the war, or doing any real reporting. Americans can talk about sex 'til the Viagra runs out -- or longer.

But there's some stinkin'-thinkin' in the sad and...

Wealth Boom Fuels New Pricing Scale For Escorts

Wall Street Journal   |   March 12, 2008 01:56 PM


The complaint filed in the Emperors Club escort bust, which apparently nabbed Eliot Spitzer, casts a rare spotlight on the dealings between the wealthy and high-priced escort services. (See the Journal's article on Mr. Spitzer.) For one, the complaint makes...

Spitzer's Trysts: Stop Over-Thinking This

Bill Maher | Posted March 12, 2008 | Politics


Bill Maher

I'm going to throw the remote through the TV if one more news twink says something on the order of "When we come back, we'll look into what drives a successful man like Eliot Spitzer to risk it all..."

Oh yes, let's convene a panel of experts for that....

Client 9

Suzanne O'Malley | Posted March 11, 2008 | Politics


Suzanne O'Malley

It was hell going up and down in the elevator at 985 Fifth Avenue with Eliot Spitzer and his wife and three young daughters, pretending everything was fine. I was their occasional neighbor until four years ago, frequently staying in the apartment of a friend whose master bedroom was directly...
