About twenty years ago, I was approached by a manufacturer of 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.

Our image of the jet-set call girl is an illusion. The undeniable truth is they aren't the empowered women characterized in movies, music and the American psyche.

NetPets created the fractional mistress industry in 1996, when President Clinton's scandals underscored the need for secure, private and discreet sexual services for politicians.

Whether it's the wife or the other woman, it's the female sex that suffers most in public sex scandals.

Since prostitution is, anecdotally at least, an area where America might still actually be #1, the initial reluctance of ABC to run the Diane Sawyer show is surprising.

Say what you will about Clinton, but all his affair with Lewisnky cost the country was a cigar and a dry cleaning bill. Spitzer's folly is so atrocious because he spent like a crooked hedge fund manager on a white truffle binge.

I was the Spitzers' occasional neighbor until four years ago. On more than one occasion, raging and abusive language -- Eliot Spitzer's -- reached operatic levels at 1am and later.
