02.08.10Would you sell your virginity?Ah yes, another year and yet another story about a college girl auctioning off her virginity to pay for university. The latest one is a Kiwi known only as Unigirl who accepted an offer of over NZD45,000 (around 22,000 euro) for hers, which is a paltry sum compared to Natalie Dylan, an American who picked up a cool USD3.8 million for hers. The whole cash for hymen thing makes me feel a little queasy. Prostitution, it is said, is the oldest profession, and there are plenty of women who swap sex for financial gain in relationships or marriage. But I ...

01.12.10Crazy 2 condom limit in NY, DC and San FranThe mind boggles... Carrying more than two condoms in your handbag in New York, Washington DC or San Francisco means police can arrest you as a possible sex worker. Which means, if as a responsible adult, you stop on the way home and buy a small pack of condoms, you're risking arrest. Crazy! It also means that actual sex workers will be forced to work without protection, spread disease. Madness... Read about it here.

01.07.10Male prostitutes legal in NevadaFor the first time, male sex workers are now legal in Nevada. Don’t know why they weren’t before – seems a bit strange considering brothels have been legal there for such a long time. Don’t think I’d be tempted myself. My flirting skills have yet to let me down, thankfully! But it does give me an excuse to post a pic of a shirtless man! Even if he isn't for sale...

11.06.09Growing up with Prostitutes, sex work and dangerInteresting piece here about growing up with sex workers in the same building: What it feels like to grow up with prostitutes I have a similar experience... My first apartment was in a dodgy part of town. The was a large escort agency around the corner and the city's first strip club were just up the road. The streetwalkers were a few blocks down and the rent boys had a patch just beyond the shopping centre. The sex workers themselves were friendly and there was never any hassle with them. When the director of the agency stopped me on the street and said ...

11.18.08Opinions please! Is all prostituition bad?I was reading an article the other day by The Guardian’s Josh Freedman Berthoud which argues that there’s no real difference between sex traffickers, pimps, brothel keepers and rapists. Here’s a quote: “The separation of good prostitution and bad prostitution; an evil rapist and just a regular guy who's looking for a good time, must not be allowed to stand.” IMHO surely likening a rape victim or a trafficked sex slave to someone who choses to sell sex of his or her own violition is downgrading the seriousness of these crimes? Whether or not selling sex is a wise choice is an ...

05.08.08Safe Swiss Sex for Euro 2008A more enlightened country than our own, prostitution is legal in Switzerland. Sex workers register with city authorities and get regular health checks, protecting both them and their clients. As with all sports tournaments, a lot of business is expected to take place during Euro 2008 so the Swiss Aids Federation has printed a series of postcards to remind customers that sex workers deserve politeness, respect and cleanliness. More importantly, contact details are available should a customer suspect a sex worker is in forced prostitution. It's easy to be cynical about the postcard idea, but still, it certainly can't hurt ...
