Any idea of the arrest numbers for "trafficking and prostitution" in Indianapolis yesterday?

38. Drawing strictly on personal experience here

The percentage of my clientele that seemed to be, to use your language, "masturbating in a woman" was maybe one quarter, and at that I'm not controlling for the fact that I had a large number of Hispanic clients and there was a language barrier with some. The ones that were really disconnected from the whole act were pretty rare; most seemed to specifically WANT there to be some appearance of companionship. Which I assume was why they were hiring me and not sitting home with a copy of Playboy. There was maybe a little less conversation and sharing than you'd get from picking a guy up at a bar, but not by much. The important difference being, once again, that we don't jail people for picking each other up in a bar, even if there's no deep loving emotional connection or the woman was molested as a child. We assume, rightly, that they're adults capable of making the decision.

There are no choices made by any adult anywhere that are not the result of some form of baggage- experience is what makes us who we are. That does not give me, or you, the right to interfere with those choices unless they are harming someone else- and by that I mean harming, not someone totally unrelated to them, hundreds of miles away, vaguely complaining that "I feel degraded by the example this sets". I support the human rights of ALL sex workers, not just those that have the right background.
