I've always wondered what the job interview was like to become an escort. Of course, I have no desire to sell myself, but for money, many people do turn to the world's oldest profession to make money in tough economic times. In May, CNN reported that soccer moms are earning extra money by talking dirty on the phone while the kids are at school.
Many people who lost their jobs in the recession have chosen to work from home to make extra money. Among the more unusual jobs out there are "phone actors." What does that mean? In two words... "phone sex." Believe it or not, a lot of stay-at-home moms are using their voices and telephones to help make ends meet as the folks at Staffcentrix are finding.
And The Economist reports that many people find that selling sex is better than cleaning toilets.
Faced with fewer compelling jobs, some men and women may find the sex industry an attractive option.I recently interviewed a high end provider who claimed the market in New York has always been competitive. She has yet to see a big difference in quality or quantity of supply, but she has observed a greater price elasticity of demand. On the Eros guide (warning contains explicit content), the central clearing house of escort services in the New York area (of course, I only visited the Eros cite to research my forthcoming article on the subject), some of the VIP providers are offering "Wall Street adjusted courtesy rates". A non trivial number of the women also claim to be formerly employed in the "financial services industry".
Even in the worst economy, becoming a prostitute is not merely a financial decision. The increase in supply probably comes from people already on the fringe of the industry

I've never really understood why people are so down on prostitutes. Now, I'm not talking about the sex-slave nightmare that's boiling over in Mexico and in other countries including ours. The people I'm referring to are adults who exchange some sort of sexual gratification for cash because that's how they choose to make a living. Why are we bugging them? Better question: Why are we obsessed with what other people are doing in their bedrooms? As far as I can tell, people have been selling sex for as long as humans have used some form of currency and they're not going to stop simply because others don't approve.
With that in mind, allow me to introduce you to $pread. It's tagline is, "Illuminating the sex industry." It's a magazine written by and for sex industry workers. And, you're in luck curious people, Mother Jones' Titania Kumeh just did an interview with the editor-in-chief.
Here's how it begins:
Asked if hes ever felt exploited as a sex worker, Will Rockwellthe 24-year-old editor-in-chief of the sex worker-operated magazine $preadreplies, "Yes, by the media. Every interview we do is twisted for the purposes of sensationalistic propaganda, whether it's the conservative New York Postjerking itself off over the Spitzer scandal orMs. Magazine fantasizing about female victimhood and applying it in broad strokes to people they never really cared to know, and certainly never offered a helping hand free of judgment and surveillance." He says the sensationalist and often stereotype-ridden depictions of sex workersprostitutes, exotic dancers, dominatrices, phone-sex operators, and people who engage in informal forms of transactional sexby media outlets sparked the 2005 creation of $pread, the countrys only magazine developed by and for sex workers.

Here's a video from $pread, explaining why they created the magazine and how the mainstream media's got their story all wrong:

As strip clubs go, we're a lucky city. Charlotte is home to "titty" bars and also upscale venues where you can actually take your mother (well, maybe not your mother).
Among those "upscale" adult entertainment venues is The Men's Club, and this Friday, the club is having a party that won't stop until the sun comes up.
The XXXcess Party is being billed as a night of hotness with DJ Supa Skip spinning the tunes and of course the dancers in one of Charlotte's poshest strip clubs. What's exciting about the Men's Club is that it's welcoming to men and women. It's almost like a sports bar/restaurant with naked women. I'm feeling that.
Friday night, $100 buys you bottle service and a sky box. If you haven't been to the Men's Club and seen the upper boxes, you're missing out. But the best attraction the club has on a Friday or Saturday night has to be the breakfast buffet. This isn't the Waffle House fare, but food cooked by a chef, hot and ready for you to eat while you watch the girls do their thing.
When I went to the breakfast buffet a few months ago, I wasn't surprised to see a crowd of men and women loading up on bacon, grits, scrambled eggs, and omelets made to order.
If you're trying to ease your mate into the idea of hanging out at a strip club or if you're just tired of the club scene where you can get arrested for showing your breasts then you should head to the XXXcess Party Friday night. The fun starts at midnight.
