Sex sells, but who wins? Not the prostitutes.

Social deviant Eliot Spitzers public support of cyber flasher

Anthony Weiners run for mayoral office shouldnt surprise
anyone. Politicians with sex scandals stick together. Lets go
further, men who cheat stick together. So, if you happen to live in
New York State, then know your tax dollars will help fund
Weiners ill-fated attempt. Whats interesting to me is that a post I
wrote in the days following Spitzers moment of infamy has been
getting a lot of hits lately. So, am re-posting, because although
these clowns get all the media attention, Id like to remind people
that there is no victimless crime and in Spitzers case I think he
should have been given a go-to-jail card.

Spitzer Sex not Victimless: Women Pay High Price

By Kirby Sommers

The Spitzer sex scandal brought to the forefront an astonishing

fact: Prostitution is not a victimless crime. Women involved in
prostitution pay a much higher price than all of the money earned
in the worlds oldest profession.

Little girls never dream of one day becoming a prostitute. A

doctor, yes. A lawyer, yes. A whore, no. Demand produces supply.
Its not the other way around. Ashley Dupre, as many have argued,
did not bring down New York Governor Eliot Spitzer. Shes just
one of many women lured into the business of sex for pay because
of economic hardship. Had Dupre not been available, Spitzer
would have settled for someone else that fateful night at the
Mayflower Hotel in Washington D.C.

Having interviewed several high class working girls heres what I

discovered.

Many women in the industry have been sexually abused or

molested as children. Many women become drug addicts or
alcoholics in order to work. One woman whose name I wont use
told me: I was raped, became pregnant, and had nowhere to go. A
woman told me this was a quick way for me to get money. It was
terrifying. Id never had a drink in my life, but on that first day,
right after my morning coffee I downed a small bottle of vodka. I
needed something to help get me there.

Another woman who had been a successful Las Vegas showgirl

said, When my boyfriend found out our baby girl was born with
multiple birth defects, he picked me up at the hospital and
dropped me and the baby off at a friends place. Turns out his
friend was a madam. My boyfriend told me this is where I would
earn the money I needed to take care of my crippled kid. He left us
there. That was 14 years ago.

I never wanted to be a human garbage receptacle, a woman

clearly high on something told me. But this game, its a catch 22. I
used to take drugs to get myself to work. Now I cant stop working
because I need the money to buy drugs. I dont know how to get
out. Its like once in, never out.
And yet another confessed: It took all I had to drag myself out of
that life. I worked hard at getting my self-esteem back. Then out of
nowhere, months and months later, one of my wealthy johns
tracked me down. He just wouldnt take no for an answer. The guy
was seriously obsessed. Here was a married man, much like Eliot
Spitzer with two little girls and he wouldnt let me go. I had a fight
with my boyfriend one day and went off to Central Park and there
he was. I now know he was stalking me. Anyway, that day I
became his mistress. And, you know, it wasnt much different than
having been a whore. Then I just stopped sleeping. Ive been an
insomniac ever since. He was always a reminder of a time in my
life I wanted to forget.

Sex sells.

On Monday when the New York Times broke the Spitzer sex story
online, their servers crashed. Revenue for the paper went up an
astonishing 60% with the salacious details driving up demand.
Since then papers across the board have been selling, bloggers
have been blogging, and tongues have been wagging. No other
sexual scandal has received this kind of all consuming frenzynot
even the Clinton-Lewinski scandal of 1998.

Everyone, it seems, wants the sordid details. Everyone, it seems,

wants in on the cash.

The math.

Here it is folks, the real numbers behind Spitzers $1,000/hr

encounter with a high priced call girl.

Time in the boudoir: 2 hours, 15 minutes = $2,225

Ashley Dupres cut = half or $1,112.50
Time it took to get from New York to Washington, DC =
approximately 3 hours
Time it took to get back to New York from Washington, DC =
approximately 3 hours
Time it took to get ready for date = approximately 1 hour
Travel time to and from train station(s) = approximately 45
minutes
Total of hours put in by Ashley Dupre = 10 hours
Amount of money made by Dupre on a per hourly rate = $112.50
Dollar value of a lifetime of emotional scars = ______ (you enter
number here)

Sex does sell, but who wins? Not the prostitutes. There is a
generalization that prostitution has no victims and is considered
to be sex among consenting adults. Come on now, would a 22-
year-old really have slept with 48-year-old George Fox, Spitzers
alias because she wanted to?

Whatever else Ashley Dupre accomplishes in her life, it will always

be foreshadowed by the fact she was Eliot Spitzers call girl. Even if
she discovers a cure for the common cold any mention of her will
bring back all the sordid details. Heres the whore, have a look-see,
the hawkers will hawk. The victim has been and always will be the
prostitute herself.
