I am single divorced independent woman in NYC who was part-time professional companion for last three years.  It is only natural, that media stories regarding feminism, relationships and escort industry would attract my attention. I also follow arts and finance worlds, but art does not pay my bills and finance world is a whole other story.

So for now I will stick with first three.  Questions I am trying to answer for myself are somewhat intervened. What  is affect of these ”worlds” on each other? Do they exist in each separate universe or there is some sort of common grown where they overlap and change each other?

Old habits die hard (speaking as former research analyst) and first course of action was to venture into uncharted territories - marriage and relationships forums.

Whoooooooooa! I had learned a lot about myself. Apparently all problems that otherwise happily married women ever have in their marriages are caused by dirty diseased whores who are incapable of doing anything but chasing honest men around.  In other words, prostitutes are exclusively responsible for demise of marital institution. There is one tiny wrinkle to this logic.

Prostitution has existed prior to formation of organized religion and concept  of marriage.

For centuries prostitution was legal in this country. What’s even more interesting, divorce was practically non-existent. Religion and socioeconomic factors gave women very few options. They could work in minimum wage service jobs, become nuns,  marry or work as prostitutes.

The only way a female could enjoy freedom , own property or make living above poverty line was to be a Whore.  Let’s leave the old world behind  and concentrate on what now is known as USA.

Economic growth and influx of money during Gold Rush years (1820-1900) created opportunities for enterprising women who were not afraid to go against social norms. Widespread media coverage of prostitution occurred in 1836, when famous courtesan Helen Jewett was murdered, allegedly by one of her customers. Soon after first anti-prostitution city ordinance followed. The Lorette ordinance of 1857 prohibited prostitution on the first floor of buildings in New Orleans. I wonder what the logic was there ….

In 1873  the New York Society for the Suppression of Vice was created as first institution dedicated to supervising the morality of the
public. Because we all know that left unsupervised that public can get quite frisky!

In less than two years  the United States Congress jumped on morality bandwagon and passed  the Comstock Law, which made illegal the delivery or transport of ”obscene, lewd, or lascivious” material and birth control information. In 1875, Congress passed its first anti-trafficing law. The Page Act of 1875  made it illegal to transport women into the nation to be used as prostitutes.

33 years later, the Bureau of Investigation was founded by the government to investigate “white slavery” by interviewing brothel employees to find out if they had been kidnapped. Out of 1106 prostitutes interviewed in one city, six said they were victims of white slavery.  Makes you wonder if after interviewing 1100 willing sex workers they did not make up extra six.

The White-Slave Traffic Act (Mann Act) of 1910 prohibited so-called white slavery. It also banned the interstate transport of females for “immoral purposes”. What was the primary purpose of this law? Well, the goal was to address prostitution and immorality. Just to be on the safe side, the Supreme Court later included consensual debauchery, adultery, and polygamy under “immoral purposes”.

Legal prostitution in form of brothels became public enemy and pretty much gone underground. Invention of telephones reformed the industry by allowing women to work as “call girls”

What else was taking place then?  In late 19th century, same time as Whores were investing in property with money earned in brothels, proper  women finally figured out that it would be nice to have some rights. Like right to own property, or vote, or even get an education. First waves of feminism rose.

By 1920 women won their freedom and the “new woman” was born. A Woman who rejected the moral and social rules of the  older generation, smoked and drank in public, had casual sex, and embraced consumer culture.

Married and single women finally got a chance to live like Whores! Interesting that demise of legal prostitution and birth of a “New Woman” took place pretty much at the same time.

Next 40 years our country kept itself busy with more changes. World war II, second wave of feminism and the Pill kept reshaping social interactions between men and women. Good Girls no longer had to fear unplanned pregnancy and the Whores kept low profile.

The Big Bang happened when California adopted the nation’s first no-fault divorce law, which was intended to promote equality  between men and women.  Soon all other states adopted the same law. What effect it had on society? For starters, divorce became rather expensive option for men and very lucrative opportunity for women. With some proper planning, the good girls got opportunity to enjoy their husbands financial success long after leaving them. They also no longer needed to be married in order to be respected by society.

Men took a while to catch on, but eventually even they figured things out. And the Marriage Strike began.

What else happened? The internet!  Like with invention of telephone, whores were among first to embrace new technology. Call girls became on line escorts. But they this time around they faced serious competition. The good girls also discovered opportunities of the
internet and numerous “hook up” sites and chat rooms sprung up like mushrooms.

Fast forward to 2008. CL murder of Boston prostitute, media outrage, harsher anti-prostitution laws and country wide anti-trafficking arrests which somehow fail to arrest any trafficked children.  Sounds very familiar.  Prostitution is public enemy number one once again. There is a new twist on the old story though. Main anti-prostitution argument seems to be that at the age of equality between men and women, the only reason any adult female will knowingly and willingly become a sex worker is if she is damaged beyond all hope. All sex workers are either forced into this profession by drug habits or sex slavers.

We legalized promiscuity and criminalised prostitution. We encourage young women to be independent, yet we teach them that they are entitled to pay off for failed relationships.

How can modern institute of marriage can be compared to prostitution you say? Well, let’s look at it from point of view of equality.

Let’s say that Mary and Joe fall in love and get married. Prior to marriage joe has acquired house worth 100k. Their monthly living
expense is 1000. Each one spends 200 per month on personal hygiene, clothing, etc.  So total expenses are 1400. Since mary is independent female she works. So does joe. Each makes 2000 per month.  Were they truly equal, should their relationship not work out, should Mary be entitled to house and alimony?  Not really. She is entitled to her share (in this case 50 percent) of assets acquired jointly and 50 percent of savings.

But what if during years of marriage Mary was spending 400 per month on personal care vs 200 spent by Joe? That brings her share even lower. Independent equal woman all of a sudden says “wait a minute … U owe me for my time” and this is exact moment when she gets paid for sex. What about all the women who stay home and raise the family? If they are truly equal, then she should be compensated appropriately by husband for her work and pay her half of joint expenses.

Ergo,  sex in exchange for financial consideration is only legal if it is within boundaries of marriage.

These lists are dynamic in nature and keep being updated as ladies get new reviews, but so far yours truly seems to be on the Top 100 Providers in New York City List!  I guess for a city of 8.5 million people it is not a bad spot to be

Some people say it is violation of First Amendment, others claim it will eradicate prostitution. Some claim nothing really changed except for advertising revenues now being redirected from one on line bulletin board to another. And for those of you who are not aware, Backpage is owned by none other but Fox Media. Ironic, isn’t it? And we are not talking about paltry change here. Last year Craigslist collected whooping 36 million dollars for its sex trade ads!

So what’s the big deal is about? First of all, it made sex work even more mainstream than it was. Over last few days numerous on line and print media outlets covered this story in one way or another. Huffington Post, PC World, Reuters, NPR, and many more came out with related editorials. Economist even came out with intense debate on legalization of prostitution!

Why such attention? Well, one reason is obvious. Capitalization of sensational subject of prostitution. Sex sells and media is in business of selling. Another reason in my opinion is redirection of public outrage. Yes, why raise such painful subjects as health reform, unemployment, financial meltdown, war, taxes, crime and white collar crimes? After all, it is not like they affect all of us! Lets talk about those horrible pimps and poor children forced into slavery. And while we are at it, lets eliminate section of Craigslist that donated funds to fight these crimes.

I am not saying that sex trafficking of men, women and children does not exist. It does. But if Craigslist made these criminals easy to track via their required registration of phone numbers and credit cards and its cooperation with law enforcement, street prostitution is anonymous and untraceable.

So, what exactly has been achieved? Lots of public discussion on subject of sex work, redirection of advertising dollars and endangerment of least protected members of society.

Congratulations to Fox Media!

“To be loved by a pure young girl, to be the first to reveal to her the
strange mystery of love, is indeed a great happiness, but it is the
simplest thing in the world. To take captive a heart which has had no
experience of attack, is to enter an unfortified and ungarrisoned
city. Education, family feeling, the sense of duty, the family, are
strong sentinels, but there are no sentinels so vigilant as not to be
deceived by a girl of sixteen to whom nature, by the voice of the man
she loves, gives the first counsels of love, all the more ardent
because they seem so pure.

The more a girl believes in goodness, the more easily will she give
way, if not to her lover, at least to love, for being without mistrust
she is without force, and to win her love is a triumph that can be
gained by any young man of five-and-twenty. See how young girls are
watched and guarded! The walls of convents are not high enough,
mothers have no locks strong enough, religion has no duties constant
enough, to shut these charming birds in their cages, cages not even
strewn with flowers. Then how surely must they desire the world which
is hidden from them, how surely must they find it tempting, how surely
must they listen to the first voice which comes to tell its secrets
through their bars, and bless the hand which is the first to raise a
corner of the mysterious veil!

But to be really loved by a courtesan: that is a victory of infinitely
greater difficulty. With them the body has worn out the soul, the
senses have burned up the heart, dissipation has blunted the feelings.
They have long known the words that we say to them, the means we use;
they have sold the love that they inspire. They love by profession,
and not by instinct. They are guarded better by their calculations
than a virgin by her mother and her convent; and they have invented
the word caprice for that unbartered love which they allow themselves
from time to time, for a rest, for an excuse, for a consolation, like
usurers, who cheat a thousand, and think they have bought their own
redemption by once lending a sovereign to a poor devil who is dying of
hunger without asking for interest or a receipt.

Then, when God allows love to a courtesan, that love, which at first
seems like a pardon, becomes for her almost without penitence. When a
creature who has all her past to reproach herself with is taken all at
once by a profound, sincere, irresistible love, of which she had never
felt herself capable; when she has confessed her love, how absolutely
the man whom she loves dominates her! How strong he feels with his
cruel right to say: You do no more for love than you have done for
money. They know not what proof to give. A child, says the fable,
having often amused himself by crying “Help! a wolf!” in order to
disturb the labourers in the field, was one day devoured by a Wolf,
because those whom he had so often deceived no longer believed in his
cries for help. It is the same with these unhappy women when they love
seriously. They have lied so often that no one will believe them, and
in the midst of their remorse they are devoured by their love.

Hence those great devotions, those austere retreats from the world, of
which some of them have given an example.

But when the man who inspires this redeeming love is great enough in
soul to receive it without remembering the past, when he gives himself
up to it, when, in short, he loves as he is loved, this man drains at
one draught all earthly emotions, and after such a love his heart will
be closed to every other.”

I’ve been blessed by meeting and experiencing amazing chemistry with several Ladies from various cities. You can find links to their sites on Friends & Links page, but I wanted to take a moment and mention those I had a pleasure of meeting in person.

You can consider yourself one lucky man to share company of any one of them and I will gladly refer my Patrons to each and every Lady mentioned here and know that he will have great time.

Miss Kendall of New York, whose dream was to allow others to find in her their own release from the ordinary world in shared ecstatic pleasure.

Valentina. Amazingly delicious and boobilicious Brazilian brunette from New Jersey!

Naughty Allure, Lynette Marie , Miss Logan and Tasha Vegas are based in sin capital of the world – Las Vegas. I guess it is no surprise that I find myself in Las Vegas quite often these days.

Amazing Eve Alexander of Chicago. Stunning redhead who holds a very special place in my heart.

Last, but not least is Rachael Benedict from St Louis. This young Lady redefined the Dinner Date and memories of our days spent together put both smile and blush on my face!
