    (may not be exact words) same point though.
  • Bloodwine, on 06/23/2009, -2/+30I don't feel sorry for her, and I personally think this is grounds for her husband to strangle a bitch.
  • Nodaki, on 06/22/2009, -1/+21When I read that I thought, "is cleaning up a pissed on bed even worth a hundred bucks?"
  • WaxTrax, on 06/23/2009, -1/+21Depends on what you order
  • Secret7000, on 06/23/2009, -0/+19Does it beat working for McDonalds? On the money side - yes. On the feeling like a whore side..... still yes.
  • 2of8, on 06/23/2009, -1/+19"Sometimes she starts fights with her husband, just so he doesn't get close enough to pick up another man's scent. "I feel like the family would disown me if they knew," she says."

    The saddest line. (last paragraph, first page)
  • Bloodwine, on 06/23/2009, -3/+20And women wonder why we don't take them seriously.

    Don't get me wrong, most guys would make a living on their backs if we could.
  • realpolitik, on 06/23/2009, -0/+17^ Agreed. She's a whore. She's LITERALLY a whore.

  • joeTrigby, on 06/23/2009, -0/+15You don't get dental, but at least you get oral!
  • inactive, on 06/23/2009, -0/+13We ought to legalize prostitution so that women can make an honest living pulling tricks.
  • STBAT25, on 06/23/2009, -2/+13It is the oldest profession.
  • MrInfallible, on 06/23/2009, -1/+11What about dino-rider? I think thats older.

  • CoreyHalliwell, on 06/23/2009, -1/+11I guess no matter how women look at it, they're gonna have to handle meat one way or another....
  • reiggin, on 06/23/2009, -1/+11Moral judgment?!? She's cheating on her husband, lying to her family, and... being a whore.
  • Darksoul, on 06/23/2009, -0/+9Most? I am betting all of us would lol the bad part is with all men selling themselves the market would be flooded and most of us would still be out of work lol...

  • Bloodwine, on 06/23/2009, -0/+7I beg to differ, kind sir:

  • smemily, on 06/23/2009, -1/+7Organ donation?
    Because turning the body into a commodity tends to lead to even more exploitation of lower classes than there would already be.
  • trunks13, on 06/23/2009, -0/+6Who owns your body? You or the government?
  • Advenger, on 06/23/2009, -0/+5unless you assume they do, you're in for it.
  • inactive, on 06/23/2009, -0/+5Wow, Max Weinberg was right.
  • theNazz, on 06/23/2009, -2/+7So there is a bright side to economic downturns afterall...
  • CoreyHalliwell, on 06/23/2009, -1/+6Haven't you seen the Flintstones? they had cars back then. Dinosaurs were more used as excavation equipment.
  • freakish_beast, on 06/23/2009, -2/+6Change is good.
  • hpodity, on 06/23/2009, -2/+6Now you can get Mickey D's with a side of double D's
  • Bloodwine, on 06/23/2009, -3/+7Sex workers have high morals? You can honestly say that with a straight face?
  • riptor666, on 06/23/2009, -3/+7Everyone has a point where there willing to do just about anything and your very ignorant if you think otherwise morals mean *****. For example if you had a dying family member and had to come up with $10,000 in a week and the only way was to be in a porno film would you do it or let that person die?
  • JOEINDIAK, on 06/23/2009, -0/+4I am unemployed right now, and saw two of them on my street in my genteel neighborhood at 10 AM !
  • ZenMojo, on 06/23/2009, -0/+4I don't know why they call it gonorrhea. It never goes away. (Should call it cumorrhea. Since that's how you get it.)
  • dty2010, on 06/23/2009, -1/+5I never said that, but I can say "There is no correlation between occupation as a sex worker and morality" with a straight face.
  • themonkman, on 06/23/2009, -1/+5The funny thing is that if a remotely attractive woman offered to pay your average guy $75 sex, at least 90% would say yes.
  • Enlefo, on 06/23/2009, -0/+3What a depressing article :-/
  • xomp, on 06/23/2009, -1/+4her "university of california degree" in communications didn't pay off?
  • reiggin, on 06/23/2009, -0/+3FTA: After calling me "babe" for the umptillionth time, he proclaimed: "I haven't even seen you, but just from talking, I know you'd do great." Later, speaking to his colleague at another Web cam company, I found that my reputation preceded me: "Ken told me, 'She sounds hot! You should get her to work.'" I won't lie: For a moment, I contemplated making mad money while talking to lonely divorcés and noshing on microwavable popcorn.

    Quickly googling Tracy Clark-Flory shows she has a little experience in the web cam world already... and that Ken should have checked out her eyebrows first. http://current.com/items/89336628_virginity-auctio ...
  • LoopyChew, on 06/23/2009, -0/+3Thus making food-gathering the oldest profession. Ka-BOOM! You've been lawyered.
  • asgardshill, on 06/23/2009, -2/+5Only if you ask them to hold the Special Sauce.
  • crilen007, on 06/23/2009, -0/+3Can I know some of your girlfriends?
  • GlassAgate, on 06/23/2009, -1/+4Not every one of the "girls of the evening" has an STD.
  • Gguillorn, on 06/23/2009, -0/+3I don't want to be anal here, but I think sex puns really suck.
  • ZenMojo, on 06/23/2009, -0/+3Why call them tricks? Everybody knows the secret.
  • guttersniper, on 06/23/2009, -1/+4Lose respect for 'women'? Why the hell would you generalize. And you don't value their life? You wouldn't care if they die? You'd kill them? What is wrong with you? And the whole sanctity of the body thing . . . how does having sex lessen a person's value? The whole sanctity notion was something dreamt up as a social control measure to ensure paternity back before tests were available. I really despise you.
